It would be nice to know how many devices has been preordered.

see the post above your latest? ;) I have just written it ther :)

[blacey]

@tbowmo Well, the fact that you can't order any more means there were at least 200 pre-ordered, right?

[hek]

Well, first batch was 200 units (180 sold). Guess they want a few spare once if they have failures during test.

They are preparing for batch two but the Si7021-A20-GM humidity sensor was a bit hard to source at the moment. Will be solved soon. Not sure why preorders was disabled though, will check.

Is the MySensors API/library set being updated to include the code needed for the on-board thermometer/humidity sensors for the Sensebender Micro, or will we be using another library?

I have not ordered any of these but was considering them for an upcoming project to measure temperature/humidity.

No, it won't be included in the core MySensors library.

Has anyone who preordered these boards received any update (shipping confirmation) from ITead? Originally their website estimated May 20 ship date.

[gloob]

I did a preorder for the items but did not get any new information about the shipment.
The status of the items is still "processing".

I've asked Itead for an update. But they're on china time so hopefully we'll get reply in a few hours.

[tbowmo]

There is an update on iteadstudios facebook page, that they have finished assembling today, and will proceed to testing tomorrow.

So hopefully they will start shipping soon.

That's good news!

Guys, this is Jerry from ITEAD.

Here's the update of Project Mysensor Micro:
184 units are produced. ..for we can only find 184 Si7021-A20-GM1 all over the world.

We finished the test today, 176 units passed the test. The 8 units should be fixed tomorrow.

We will pack the boards tomorrow and arrange shipment this week.

Pre-order for batch 2 will be released when the Si7021 is available.

[tbowmo]

Thanks for the update Jerry.

A message was sent to me also --- they are on the way!!

I am curious where the name came from, I understand the 'sense' and 'micro', but what is the origin of the ' bender'?
