Update: uConsole shipping related

Looks like it worked with an older version of the game. Might still work with Steam and Wine.

Cool! Is this your own build? Really curious about the specs and or project details.

it’s an open source project called handipi, available on GitHub

I am sorry for being direct, but the whole thing becomes more ridiculous as each day passes. Let me please state that I see my preorder payment as a bet which I strongly hope to suceed (with the delivery of the uConsole). I will not ask for a refund, but hope for the product. I am well aware that a run for refunds may have dire consequences for clockworkpi.
Yet: what does this looks like to you guys? Does it look like successful project days before delivery of an important product? Does it look like solid finances? Does it look like they still sell preorders?
What picture do the answers to the questions above give?
I am really worried that I lost this bet.

Oh look, you also signed up for ONLY to participate in this!

Yeah, I realize that government bureaucracy moves at the speed of a dead slug, but like, surely you’ll have some sort of update!? Even if the update is “hey, nothings changed since the last time. Waiting on customs!” would be proof that you’re still alive. But I doubt that’s all that’s happened.

But NO UPDATE? That’s sketchy as hell!

((Meanwhile, I’ve bought a ClockworkPi v3.14 and a Core R-01 to have something to play with.))

update, sir, is exactly what a proud engineer sitting on a finished, ready-to-deliver product would show.
update, sir, is something that a sane company does when its customers begin having doubts about its ability to deliver.

i think i’ve seen it run ye

Been looking around the web but I can’t really find any more pictures of this thing. No video either. Would it be too much to ask for more pictures and a video (even a short one) of what this thing does and someone using it? If it really is so close to being shipped, then surly it wouldn’t be too much trouble for a quick demo, especially if waiting around for bureaucracy to move is the only delay.

Sh@7 is getting real though… :cowboy_hat_face:

@AlexDuan, we need you to intervene and save the day! Be the hero we need!

Im starting to feel like im attending a convention for unemployed doctors whenever i visit this thread. No one has any patience. (Note for non native English speakers: patients (someone being treated by a doctor) and patience (calm and perseverance while waiting for news) sound the same. This was a very bad joke.)

It gets funnier when you explain it!

Also, you are right, it makes me wonder if these others order pizza delivery and then immediatly start pacing at the window and ranting about the delivery times. This is no way to live, its bad for the heart.

Anyways, see you all when cool things start happening

There was a video clip floating around at the beginning of the month shared by developers on Bilibili. We saw the assembly instructions posted to GitHub. There have been commits to GitHub for compatibility with the R-01 chip.

I would love ClockworkPi to be more communicative, but there has been a slow trickle of information that suggests that the device exists in some form. Anything else is a matter of speculation. Doesn’t seem to make the waiting easier.

Immediately, no, but after a few months I start to wonder if the pizza is coming

@AlexDuan Would you please share the Declaration Number and the Verification Code so that we can track the clearance status? Thanks!

asking again how do you people interpret this situation.
there is a complete lack of objective prof of progress: no prototypes sent to testers not even in china, no pictures of stock like loads of boxes of it, no registration numbers for the customs clearance. there are pictures of an early prototype and an incomplete, unconvincing GIT repository.
to put it bluntly: either this is a hobby project like kickstarter and then i would like to see a financial summary: how many units ordered, how many produced, how much money got in. or this is a commercial emtity: then the empathy “let them do their job” is misplaced. which is their phone number where i can talk to a representative about the status of my order?

If you don’t like what you are seeing/not seeing then get a refund. Its either that or wait until it’s released.

I think i will wait another month and do just that if there is no news on the shipping. I prordered on october next month that would make like 180 working days (2 time the 90 days annonced). For me this look more like a fishy Indiegogo (not even kickstater) them a serious product now, there is only picture of the prototype and nothing more.

Do they sell a kit or did you source everything yourself?

Sometimes the problem can’t be solved by simply requesting a refund, or maybe they’ve taken our reservation money to get a lot of bank interest.

Just kidding. :rofl:

Alex’s last login date was June 12, and he disappeared for almost two weeks, so even if you request a refund, you probably won’t get a response (which someone already did)

We can wait, but at least they should be honest and keep the update progress.
