I'm glad to endorse this project. It can truly be a game changer for small labs willing to experiment with rich swarm behavior on a low budget. #SwarmRobotics#OpenSourceHardware#STEMEducation

Quick @pebble project update! I'm also working on a longer blog post with lots more details, updated images of Core Time 2, etc. And I will hopefully pair that with a Tick Talk epp!
I have not sent out any Core 2 Duo order/address confirmation emails yet, so don't worry - you haven't missed anything. I will post here and on https://t.co/VReAZPP1yI when we start sending those out. Please do not email me (yet) to ask what your order status is ๐
Tariff cost for US orders is ~$10 per Core 2 Duo. Non-US orders do not have any US tariffs since we ship direct from Hong Kong to rest of world, but since we are shipping 'prepaid' (DDP) you will be charged your country's Taxes/VAT during order confirmation.
Core 2 Duo:
- we solved last major circuit board issue last week (got the audio codec chip + speaker to work), clearing way for mass production
- testing fulfillment system this week with first shipments to beta testers!
- on track to ship the first 2-4k units (roughly half of batch 1) out during last week of July or first week of August. The remainder will ship out by end of Aug. But as it says on https://t.co/SZIcJh3Svx, this is an estimate - delays may happen
PebbleOS
- things are going quite well
- we're currently focused on Bluetooth reliability, fixed some major bugs this week with the help of @codecoup_pl (thank you!). Things are fairly stable now (๐ค)
- battery life is still unoptimized in PebbleOS, but we've verified that the hardware can hit 30+ days.
- major things that we haven't started working on yet: health (step/sleep) tracking, speaker API, magnetometer/barometer,
iOS/Android Mobile app
- we publishedย a new batteries-included open source library for building Pebble companion apps called libpebble3 https://t.co/UoBrTIpEan
- our new mobile app (built with this library) is currently being beta tested by some willing and brave souls
- good news! Our new mobile app will support your old Pebbles as well. No more sideloading the 10 year old Pebble app!
- our new mobile app will be published on Google Play (https://t.co/CrqrbCNnzi) and iOS Appstore before your watch ships out
- everything is working well, except we haven't started on weather, voice input (soon), health tracking UI, timeline pins from 3rd party apps, Pebblekit Android (soon)/iOS(much later if ever).
SDK
We made it's suuuuuper easy to install the Pebble SDK and build a watchface/app:
1) install uv (https://t.co/SOfNPWPmJT)
2) uv tool install pebble-tool
3) pebble new-project my1stapp
4) cd my1stapp && pebble build
5) pebble install --emulator aplite
That's it! Full guides here: https://t.co/qophEtUyIL
Core Time 2
- progressing well, we're on schedule
- currently in engineering verification test (EVT) stage, testing the first circuit boards and fully assembled watches
- we've made some improvements to the design (it's a bit sleeker), excited to share it soon!
T-shirts
I ordered 500 of the classic Meet Pebble purple tees ๐
It's cloudy today but I'm still enjoying one of my fav watchfaces - Weatherland by @johnreno! https://t.co/N9x36AweuX
Today Google open sourced PebbleOS and it makes me incredibly happy. That codebase and that team I still have so much pride in. I remember typing `git init` during the Kickstarter campaign in 2012 and worked on it until we were acquired by Fitbit in 2016: https://t.co/jeuPh6PE0G
This year, Iโm focusing on growing my expertise in the technologies I care about. Thrilled to have completed my first milestone: a certification from @linuxfoundation.
