| mjw | :) One more meeting and then I can finally start hacking it... Day jobs... | 16:50 |
| jackhill | Hi mjw, nice to run into you here too. | 16:52 |
| mjw | jackhill, Hi. In that darn meeting now. So need to pay attention so I am not totally surprised when my name is called :) | 17:24 |

| mjw | mntmn, Finally opened it up. Do you happen to have an example of how you folded the wifi antenna inside the box? | 19:31 |
| mjw | ACTION finds https://mntre.com/media/reform_md/mnt-reform2-diy-manual-r1.pdf | 19:50 |
| mjw | hmmm, what is the acrillic antenna holder? | 19:50 |
| mntmn | mjw: ah, the antenna holder is a rectangle with a small rectangle cut out | 19:52 |
| mntmn | mjw: transparent | 19:53 |
| mntmn | mjw: ugly picture, but this is how it looks like https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/105934965075897867 | 19:55 |
| mntmn | mjw: you remove the UI1 and UI2 cables from the motherboard and put this "around" the connectors on the motherboard. then plug the cables back. the molex antenna you stick on this piece of acrylic. | 19:56 |

| mjw | mntmn, aha. doh. thanks yes, I get that piece. Put it away as "ok, odd, dunno what that is" :} | 20:04 |
| mntmn | my fault, sorry. it is only documented for the DIY version i think and there is no picture of it anywhere | 20:05 |

| + mjw_reform (~mark@herd.wildebeest.org) | 21:17 | |
| mjw_reform | yes! wifi installed and works :) | 21:18 |
| mjw_reform | I am afraid I managed to fry one of the battery cells. /me hangs head in shame. there were lots of warnings to remove them before doing any work... | 21:22 |
| mjw_reform | but everything still seems to work | 21:22 |
| mjw_reform | the little display is very cute. And does show me the cell I fried. | 21:22 |
| doppler | huh... what happened to the cell? | 21:23 |
| mjw_reform | ssd also works and is really fast | 21:27 |
| eery | guessing they shorted it :^) | 21:27 |
| doppler | yes but that'd be quite violent | 21:28 |
| mjw_reform | I accidentially touched it with a screwdriver. Just being stupid :{ | 21:29 |
| mjw_reform | it wasn't violent, just a puff of blue smoke... | 21:31 |
| mjw_reform | The cells were disconnected from the board, so luckily nothing else shorted. Just this one cell. | 21:32 |
| mjw_reform | I am working on the machine right now, so it is pretty OK otherwise :) | 21:32 |
| eery | IIRC the battery chemistry of the cells in the reform aren't as inclined to have explosive thermal runaways as the high density li-ion cells in most phones | 21:39 |
| eery | iron phosphate vs the more common cobalt oxide cells I think | 21:43 |
| doppler | I see | 21:51 |
| doppler | still, smoke when you're not expecting there to be smoke | 21:52 |
| doppler | lesson learned, eh? :) | 21:52 |
| ex-parrot | morning all | 22:16 |
| ex-parrot | ACTION resumes refreshing his e-mail, waiting for a shipping notification | 22:16 |
| - mjw_reform (QUIT: Quit: Leaving) (~mark@herd.wildebeest.org) | 22:37 | |
| mntmn | mjw: woot woot | 22:47 |
| mntmn | mjw: it's possible that you smoked a trace on the battery board | 22:48 |
| mntmn | mjw: i recommend that when you have time, take the cells out and beep the connections between the cells and to the MB | 22:48 |
| mntmn | mjw: the good news is that broken traces on the battery boards can be fixed quite easily by soldering wire bridges | 22:49 |
| mntmn | mjw: btw you cannot charge safely if not alle cells are connected | 22:56 |
| mntmn | (probably obvious) | 22:56 |
| mntmn | ex-parrot: i uploaded new tracking numbers to CS but they'll probably only process them in a few hours or so... | 22:57 |
| ex-parrot | :) | 22:57 |
| mntmn | ex-parrot: if you're in the EU that is. if not, you'll have to wait a bit longer | 22:57 |
| ex-parrot | naw, NZ | 22:58 |
| mntmn | sorry then!! | 22:58 |
| ex-parrot | I know, I have to be patient :) | 22:58 |
| mntmn | we're grinding through the first EU orders | 22:58 |
| mntmn | actually we've almost sent out everything that we had metal parts for... another 80s are in transit to us | 22:58 |
| mntmn | 80 | 22:58 |
| ex-parrot | \m/ | 22:58 |
| ex-parrot | feel free to not answer this, but do you think it's possible the non-EU orders will go out in under a month? | 22:59 |
| ex-parrot | I'm just trying to decide if I need to find a different delivery address for you to ship to... | 22:59 |
| mntmn | well, not ~all~ of them | 23:00 |
| mntmn | we'll be making batches | 23:00 |
| ex-parrot | of course | 23:00 |
| mntmn | because it doesn't make sense to make a huge pile for months and not ship anything | 23:02 |
| mntmn | to fulfill all of the backlog i think we will need 3 months | 23:02 |
| mntmn | at this point i'm not even sure if we will be sending palettes or just some big boxes to CS regularly... | 23:02 |
| mntmn | so it depends when you ordered ex-parrot | 23:02 |
| ex-parrot | I don't want to make this your problem at all :P | 23:02 |
| mntmn | alright ^^ anyway it won't technically be my problem. just make sure to update your address with CS | 23:02 |
| mntmn | because they will ship to you | 23:02 |
| ex-parrot | yeah | 23:02 |
| ex-parrot | I ordered on the 8th of May 2020 | 23:03 |
| mntmn | ok that's very early in | 23:03 |
| mntmn | so you won't have to wait long i think. but i can't say exactly, because i don't have a non-EU customer list. | 23:03 |
| ex-parrot | yeah, all good. I'll see what happens, worst case I might have to go begging at my old office :P | 23:04 |
| mntmn | so we actually do not know who will get the devices. | 23:04 |
| mntmn | hehe ok | 23:04 |
| ex-parrot | cheers :) | 23:04 |
| ex-parrot | I think I was in the first handful or so of orders, I ordered immediately after you announced it on Mastodon | 23:04 |
| mntmn | eery: correct btw. the batteries are LiFePO4 and that doesn't have cobalt | 23:05 |
| mntmn | ex-parrot: yeah so probably you will be in the first batch that CS will process. | 23:05 |
| ex-parrot | (I'm @fincham@cloudisland.nz fwiw, I may not have mentioned that before) | 23:05 |
| mntmn | i just have to figure out how many we'll send them at once. maybe 50. | 23:05 |
| ex-parrot | cool | 23:05 |
| ex-parrot | makes sense to me | 23:05 |
| mntmn | ah i see! | 23:05 |
| ex-parrot | this exact thing happened when I backed the Novena too, I ended up moving offices at pretty much exactly the expected shipping date :P | 23:06 |
| mntmn | such nomadic life | 23:06 |
| ex-parrot | I wish | 23:06 |
| ex-parrot | unrelated to all of that, do you have some rough figures on the latest battery life? | 23:08 |
| ex-parrot | talking about blowing out the traces reminded me I had been meaning to ask | 23:08 |
| alex4nder | ex-parrot: I'm in the same boat.. I think I'm gonna need to pick it up from crowdsupply | 23:14 |
| mjw | mntmn, darn corona pandemic makes it a little difficult to go to a hackerspace where they can help me with the soldering (yeah, don't have that equipment at home sadly) | 23:15 |
| mjw | mntmn, Apart from that silly accident I love it! It is beautiful. It just works. It already has been a conversation starter (at appropriate 1.5 meters of course). The manual is a dream. I am a happy kid again (when machines actually came with schematics like this...) | 23:17 |
| ex-parrot | I am so excited to hear people being happy with it :) | 23:18 |
| ex-parrot | alex4nder: that would be quite a trip for me :P | 23:19 |
| alex4nder | ex-parrot: yah, it's like a 10 minute drive for me | 23:19 |
| alex4nder | but I don't know where I'll be with my late batch | 23:19 |
| ex-parrot | handy | 23:19 |
| ex-parrot | hmm google maps says it's only a 20 hour flight from here | 23:20 |
| ex-parrot | plus 2 weeks in quarantine on arrival back in NZ :P | 23:20 |
| alex4nder | haha yah | 23:21 |
| mjw | mntmn, Speaking of waiting times. The crowdsupply website currently says "Orders placed now ship May 18, 2021" is that still current/possible? | 23:23 |
