perhaps you noticed that in the first diagram 18% of the components were in China, and then this sector grew to 26%, this is due to the fact that the items were assigned numbers and now we can track their location. In other words, there are more counted items.

Important change!
printed circuit boards were able to cross the border and are already in Yekaterinburg.

Great news!
The assembled experienced controller has been tested.
The sound quality meets the requirements of the copyright holder.
start assembling the cartridges.
I will write a status
1. the assembly is in progress, in principle, the speed of 650-750 small SMD elements per day has been reached, I plan to finish those weeks
and if there are no surprises in the form of a pile of dead FPGAs or memory, then next week we will start sending out
2. Holes: I moved the connector to the other side. It turns out well - the hole is only in one half of the body.
Now one office has made test holes, but this is not ideal. we connect 2 more offices, let's see what happens.
3. Sticker in the final stage of development, in the near future I will post the most interesting options for voting

Yes, not all components are delivered yet.
waiting for RAM CY62167DV30
I had a small supply for the test, but the bulk are unfortunately still being delivered.
While RAM is still being delivered
the assembly is nearing the end
Unfortunately this week there will be no complete assembly - but several boards are already completely ready
on Monday we will solve the issue of milling holes in the cases
start voting for the sticker on Monday too
build status photo
successfully tested circuit board washing with alcohol and ultrasonic bath
good news:
The third locksmith organization managed to milling one case.
Now they have begun to make copies - by the end of the week they’ll do
we prepare the pictures - the final touches (it took more time, the shopping mall decided to do everything with the highest quality)
also choose a printing company that prints stickers (maybe it will be a good sticker, with lamination, not a simple photo paper)
Sticker vote announced!
Only those who paid for cartridge production will vote

to summarize
all cases are prepared - holes are cut out
boards assembled 51pcs
47pcs workers, the rest will bring later
40 pinned by founders
losses
- 3 cases ruined when cutting
- 12pcs dead CY62167DV30
- 14pcs dead M29W640GB
- 3pcs dead FPGAs EP2C5Q208C8
if it weren't for dead chips, it would be much easier
the winner picture is clear - №8 - this is the work of the Perm artist (bear outline) and my wife's collages

use agreed with the author and the sticker itself

Now I'm waiting from Wierzbowsky a new version of the firmware is expected - in order to fill it already
accordingly, I'll have to repeat the tests, but I think that next week we'll start sending out cartridges.
sending out will be carried out in the strict manner of receiving payment.
if you have not previously paid for delivery - get ready to pay promptly!
Soldering cartridge carnivore2
This is the first experiment to record video. the focus of the camera does not match the focus of the microscope eyepieces very well.
tentatively next week shipping begins
after sending you will receive a package tracking number
important!
I ask you to track the parcel regularly and if it gets stuck somewhere for more than 7 days, inform me, I will make an application for the search for the parcel.
This is a kind of hack of the postal service - after the application for the search, the parcels are immediately accelerated.
Hello!
finally got the perfect sticker!
initially we tried to make a paper sticker with lamination, however, tests of the sticker showed that the paper base is still sensitive to moisture and the result does not correspond to our desire to make quality.
Then they made a sticker on OraJet plastic film - the result is excellent, but I had to do a lot of iterations with adjusting the dimensions, especially for the CF slot.
All is ready! we start distribution according to the order of receipt of funds!

i think it would be correct to make some clarifications
1.As you can see, the audio connector has been moved to the other side of the PCB to reduce the complexity of milling the cartridge case.
2. I'm sure you will notice that almost all tantalum capacitors have been replaced with ceramic capacitors.
reasons for replacing two
- in the sound circuit, correctly place non-polar capacitors . 4 pieces of tantalum 4.7μF 25V are replaced with ceramic non-polar SAMSUNG 4μF 50V.
- in power circuits, ceramic capacitors are preferable, since they have a lower internal resistance. in fact, in ordinary life, tantalum capacitors or other oxide capacitors are blocked by ceramic to reduce resistance at high frequency. I have the opportunity to supply ceramic capacitors right away - I develop other boards and order ceramic capacitors in bulk and such a replacement is not expensive.
All these replacements are made with only one goal - to achieve maximum product quality!
Hello!
Sending orders in progress, by the end of next week we will finish for sure
Half of the packages have already been sent.
I repeat:

I think you will be interested in how the cartridges are packed
packaging technology:
first it is packed in a branded bag
https://pic.maxiol.com/?v=1596086586.3232235619.carnivore2bymaxiol.jpg&dp=2
then some bubble wrap + strong box
https://pic.maxiol.com/?v=1596085637.3232235619.carnivore2maxiolpa.jpg&dp=2
to understand the size of the package, I put another cartridge on top
https://pic.maxiol.com/?v=1596085494.3232235619.carnivore2maxiolpa.jpg&dp=2
here is another cartridge next to it, too, to understand the thickness of the package
Carnivore2 cartridge weighing only 80 grams
with packaging, it weighs 170 grams - those 90 grams of packaging material
then it goes into the mail package
