isostick

A shipment of 240 isosticks has arrived safely and it looks like they are all in working order! The build quality is excellent, the US manufacturer has done a superb job.

The bad news: In changing the board design for press-fit, I calculated a distance incorrectly, resulting in cards getting stuck or failing to click into place.
The good news: Only a 2-4 day delay is expected. Friends and family are being enlisted to help unpack the isosticks, file down the offending edge, and repack them.
We should still have ~200 isosticks in stock by the 21st, with the rest in stock the next week. (more…)

Quick update for those eagerly awaiting isosticks to get back in stock. The circuit boards are being assembled and are expected to be ready for test and pack-out by Wednesday. Today I have received the enclosures and retail boxes, both of which are perfect. Photos of the boxes below! (more…)

It was brought to our attention today that a large number of spam accounts were created on the wiki over the past few months. Luckily they left the Tested Hardware and Tested Cards pages alone (which is also why we did not notice, but we’ll be watching now!).

Production has finally begun on all the pieces, and isostick will be back in stock some time in December. For anyone looking to buy isostick as a gift for the holidays, I apologize if they are not stocked in time.

Once they are back in stock, we will be fully setup to keep them stocked. Thank you for your patience!

This firmware update fixes numerous bugs with isosel when you have more than 15 ISOs on your isostick.

It has come to my attention that, for at least the past 24hrs, the Contact Us and Submit a Ticket pages were not sending emails, despite saying emails were sent successfully.

The previous blog post mentioned a small gap in the rear of the enclosure. The manufacturer has found the issue and already sent corrected samples, which should arrive Monday, November 12th.

As soon as I confirm the new samples are correct, the production enclosure orders can start and things will really get moving. The retail box sample is expected to arrive this weekend, I will be sure to post pictures!
