New packages keep arriving almost every day! I think this is one of the most enjoyable parts of developing a hardware project.

What’s Arrived So Far

• Display
• Rotary encoder (with tap)
• Panel-mount banana connectors
• Brass hex spacers
• Thermal pads (for between the PCB and the aluminum enclosure)

I have also ordered banana-to-alligator cables, which are currently on their way to the Netherlands.

A Small Surprise for Backers

I am having custom cables manufactured to power the electronic modules through the 2.54 mm headers. You can consider this a small surprise! Here is a photo from the cable production process:

Production Status

• Component Stock: All components required for 200 PCBs have been sourced and stocked.
• Pilot Units: The first 5 pilot units have been sent for PCB manufacturing and assembly (PCBA). I am currently waiting for these boards to arrive.
• Enclosure: The aluminum and plexiglass parts are currently heading toward the Netherlands by truck.

Once they arrive, I will machine the base plate and the plexiglass enclosure using a desktop CNC. I believe the final product will be both visually appealing and a very practical power supply to use.
