Time for a sign of life then...

Firstly, it is true that we have delivered 6 EtherNats at Outline, to people who we knew were there. We did this to easily solve any hardware problems they got, like for example short circuits with the CT60 oscillator. We hadn't been clear enough about this in the documentation, so it was good that we found out what can go wrong. Still I agree that some people near the beginning of the list would get angry. But all who were at Outline were quite near the beginning of the list.

Completing the boards before sending them takes a lot of time, since we have full time jobs, and need to do this in our spare time.
Our biggest mistake was to not have the manufacturing company solder the last two headers too. We thought this would make the boards quite a bit more expensive, but they were much more expensive than expected anyway, without this. This soldering that we need to do ourselves takes a lot of time. Then we need to program and test the boards too. (A BIG THANKS to Peter Persson for all help, by the way).

On top of this 1/4 of even 1/3 of all the boards don't work right away. There are some short circuits on different places, which will take a lot of time to find on each faulty board.

The boards were as I said much more expensive to manufacture than expected. Component costs, freight costs and soldering costs made the boards almost twice as expensive as calculated. We will personally lose money on this, if we're not able to sell the last extra boards because of the faulty ones. So there is no profit left of the 13000 EURO. Anyway, we hope to get all the boards working, but it will take longer than expected.
