Hello Air Lab backers! We’re happy to announce we’ve reached our funding goal! Thank you for supporting our crowdfunding campaign! If you have not backed the project yet, this is a great time to show your support by reserving an Air Lab of your own from the first batch produced.

We’re looking forward to shipping the Air Lab to you as soon as possible. In this weekly update, we want to give you a look at what will be happening in the weeks ahead before we switch to a monthly update schedule.

Latest Prototypes

While we’ve been busy building the Air Lab Simulator, updating our website, and letting everyone know on social media that we’re crowdfunding Air Lab, we did not forget to continue improving the hardware. Last week, we got the latest PCB prototypes delivered and, after testing them for a while, we’re very happy with the results! We’re still waiting on the updated enclosures to put everything together. When that is done, we’re ready to take the next steps towards producing the Air Lab in larger quantities.

Certification & Packaging

With the hardware design almost done, we’ll now start focussing on getting the appropriate certifications. This entails preliminary testing in our own lab before we send a device to an accredited laboratory for final tests. We’re looking forward to crossing this one off our to-do list!

Another big milestone is designing the packaging. As designers, we’re particularly keen on getting this done as nicely as possible.

Firmware & Manual

In parallel, we’ll prepare the release of the firmware as an open-source project on GitHub. This will come together with a substantial update of our website, including a new manual section. In there, you’ll be able to find documentation on the device itself and how to customize and extend the firmware.

Thanks!

Thanks again to all backers of the project and the Crowd Supply team for their continuous efforts! Stay tuned for future updates on the project as we approach shipping day.
