Update 20 - Summary and Notes

Usual disclaimer: I’m not part of the team, this comes from various locations (mostly the kickstarter update), etc.

Hey, guys. Sorry I’m a few days late to this one, but I’ve been swamped here in the lab. Love seeing some other content pop up on the forum and stoked to see at least one person’s already got their tracking.

This starts off with a TLDR which is nice.

  • Shipping’s started - at least one person in Serbia has reported in as having their details.
  • Main Warehouse - They’re processing slowly, but is nearly at the end of bulk packing
  • Breadboards - They’re tight. Details below.
  • Documentation - Schematics and guides are released.

Going down the list: Georgia, Serbia, and Ukraine are all either received or in-transit.

They were kind enough to provide a couple tracking numbers for people who were okay with that being shared to prove that shipping was happening. They’re also working on a system to automatically send emails with tracking numbers and commercial invoices for those who need them to handle customs.

The bulk order is taking longer to process because many of the kits have additional modules to pick and process.

The breadboards are a bit tight. Obviously, they’ll loosen up a bit after some use. They were considering finding a different provider, but that would delay it. They recommend just plugging and unplugging a module into every row to prepare.

They’re finalizing the quickstart guide, but they’ve already published the schematics for the open-source modules (which are a CC-BY). The schematics can be found at modules.microrack.org

There’s a thread for people to post in if you’ve got your order. Feel free to comment here if you’ve got tracking info already.

Can’t wait to share some patches and I look forward to working on some really nifty case designs with some of you!

Nothing yet. I’m attending Synth East expo on 20th Feb https://syntheast.com/

I’ll be very happy to show microrack on the Norwich Synth Club table if mine arrives in time.
