If we want the very best selected LED SKUs then we have to accept that there is a yield issue.
It’s not as if the manufacturer just twiddles a knob and chooses the tint for that batch.
The concomitant is that once you start cherry-picking the “good” ones, (which itself is costly) the quality of the rest reduces.
If you want only the “best” ones, then that can only be achieved on the back of a much bigger production run. Which requires a market for all the rest. If that isn’t there, then it won’t happen.
I’ve been thinking about it more. Can we require that TK most preferably, or if not, someone else who will test and report, get a final prototype before we go forward? Is this possible? It might very well save a lot of issues in the long run.
Could anyone be kind enough to give a one sentence summary of where this is at?
Pages and pages of snips and snipes, giant collections of quotes nested 4 deep,…
Yeah, thanks Jon. I can see that on my own.
I was referring to it looks like that team isn’t there any more to update it and it’s all on TK and Neal now.
Won’t ask again.
Current status: Trying to get answers. Attempting to pull something solid out of the cloud of possibilities, so there can be a more concrete plan and schedule. Most of the remaining tasks depend on Neal nailing down details and making commitments.
Aside from trying to get answers, about the only task for me right now is to build new firmware with the latest updates, test it on proto2 for a few days, and send it for production to use.
