Checked out the latest case prototypes. Only had a few minor corrections, so we updated the CAD files and ordered production samples. Once they arrive we will have a production ship date.
A new install process for both end users and image builders can be found at ambeserver-install on Github.
This install is simple and straightforward. It builds and installs a fresh copy of AMBEserver. It will also add a new file descriptor /dev/ThumbDV when your ThumbDV™ is plugged into a USB port. Programs, including AMBEserver can then find the ThumbDV™ regardless of any other /dev/ttyUSBx devices you may have installed.
Systemd service files and ambeserver configuration files are also provided.
As of today all backorders have been filled on DRAWS™ Boards.
We now have 30 boards IN STOCK!
We have started a new run so we should have stock on hand going forward.
Boards are in test and backorders will ship this week.

ThumbDV™ is in stock!
DRAWS™ Boards are in the ASSY Queue, still waiting on a few components.
DRAWS™ Cases should receive approval this week.
We’re officially in Phase 2 here in San Juan County WA. So today is the last day of the “stay at Home” sale. We have 25 left in stock.
ThumbDV backorders are being shipped this week.
ThumbDV™ shipped from the assembly house. Customer shipments Monday!
DRAWS™ Had a PCB Fab error and was re-run. We’ll keep you posted.
Component shortages have been filled and we have an assembly slot scheduled, so DRAWS™ Boards should ship by the end of the month.
The aluminum case was approved and the final prototypes are being made. We will post a video on case assembly as soon as they arrive.
Thanks for your patience.
When we started the sale back in March, it was until the Stay at Home Order was lifted or we ran out of inventory.
Due to high sales, we are now out of stock. A new build was initiated last week, so we’re going to extend the sale!
Normally $119.95, on Sale NOW for $99.95 until the order is lifted.
We expect the next build to arrive by the end of May.
