As this is our second manufacturing batch, risks and wait times are both greatly reduced.

We will start manufacturing as soon as it makes financial sense to do so (the campaign should be at least 50% funded). From that point, it will take about 3 months to have the hardware ready to ship.
If we can't reach the point where manufacturing makes financial sense, we will act as irrational actors and proceed anyways.

The boards will be assembled, tested and shipped from from Italy, which is why we are collecting VAT for EU shipments. There is an option to add your VAT-ID to get VAT reverse-charged.

A few positive points:

• We have already fulfilled a first batch for previous backers.
• We proved the hardware, and are showing it to others.
• We have very close relationships with the vendors we are working with, like NXP.
• We are bringing an absolutely innovative piece of tecnology to the market.
• Because we believe in this project to the point of stocking up on significant amounts of hardware before taking in a single penny.

We recommend the Lime daughterboard. It is cheaper, and the RFIC is well proven as a solid and working design in the market. The Granita RFIC has lower phase noise and a wider frequency range, but has existing problems that we cannot fix without help from Actric Semi. Please see the documentation on the Granita board for more information.

Honestly, none of them. We will have daughterboards dedicated to HAM and already have some interesting ideas on how to implement them, but neither Granita nor Lime are designed for low frequency.

No. All campaign contributions are final and non-refundable. We cannot find ourselves in a position where our backers are asking for a refund en-masse (for example, due to an unforeseen delay), so it's important to be clear about this.

You can find more information in our documentation, for both hardware and software.

No, the boards will be delivered pre-assembled and pre-tested in a configuration that we consider optimal.
