XMIT Hall Effect - Round 2 Design Thread

I would never complain about S30V, but I understand about not getting what they asked for. S30V is a very good steel, if it is tempered properly and beefy enough. Chips easy though, and the blade profile on the pic looks thin, so that's no good.

This is exactly the behavior I expected from the manufacturer for sure. I'm not in the tiniest bit surprised about this. My relationship with the manufacturer was souring after their unwillingness to open up firmware or share some design specs to let me build my own firmware. To put it this way: the nails in the coffin have now been hammered in.

But I'm saddened that they circumvented me and went to Massdrop. I could see them going to another retailer or trying to go direct to market without using my name, but the fact that they went through Massdrop - and Massdrop agreed - certainly makes things more complicated.

Sorry man, that really sucks

did they get both your r1 and r2 designs ? This is such a mess...

Heh. It's gratifying that the boards Ace releases without my input, look hideous. The front legends and the bezels on their new boards are, to put it kindly, not what I would offer.

Good, makes me missing the latest Massdrop Group Buy quite acceptable
