All,
As often happens, there have been issues getting the various parts into production and obtaining the correct results. A procedure that worked perfectly during the low volume test suddenly stopped working in the first high volume run. It took a couple of weeks to sort out what had gone wrong, fix the procedure and have the vendor(s) do the run a second time. It took us another week to sort out a problem with an incorrect part placement on the circuit board. A trivial problem to fix once the true cause was discovered. Prior to those problems we found a bizarre software bug that took us a week to track down and squash - where most software problems only take an hour or two.
But we have persevered and fixed the production problems one by one. There is a big difference between building one of something by hand and building hundreds of something in a production environment.
The good news is that the first batch is just completing the assembly process and the second batch is already in production. I expect the first batch to be finished tomorrow. They still need calibration, final testing and packaging. But I expect to have the first batch ready to ship by the end of the week. I believe you will find the Twisty was worth the wait.
