@Xykon best of luck. I hope to see some new work on the pylife product.

Switching back to ESP32 (S3) from what I read in the PR?

[Thijs Franssen]

Great news! Congrats. What can we expect in open orders? Still waiting for 30 GPYs.

[Herman Slatman]

I would like to second @Thijs-Franssen's question: what happens to existing orders that have not been fulfilled?

Dear all,

Goodbyes aren’t easy, but we’re right here with you! Pycom B.V. has taken the decision to bid the Helium Hotspot Miner and PyGo adieu, making room for innovative and groundbreaking products that will be available for all of you.

But fret not! For anyone interested in continuing this project, we have material and IP available for sale.

Please contact sales@pycom.io for more details.

@Aisham-Zaha-0 Will Pycom BV make the PyGo schematic and core firmware available under an open source license? Seems like this is the only way that any pygo owner will be able to do anything with this device....

[Ricardo Silva]

Hello @Axy-Pycom
Do you know if the Kickstarter supporters that did not receive their PyGo's (like myself) will still receive any?
I imagine some of the "material" you have for sale includes those non-shipped units. Selling them along with the rest would mean you are kind of selling them twice.
Even if they are mostly non-working at the moment, if there is hope that someone would adopt this product line, it would be nice to get the/some units.

Anyway, good luck!

Cheers

@Axy-Pycom The PyGo have never actually worked, won't you release at least some usable firmware before trying to sell it? Who would want to buy a non working system?

The new year has been here for a while, but we are still waiting for the future... Posting here is a long shot, but does anybody know anything about the future of the Pycom products ? We basically built a business-model on the FiPy, and even though I still have significant stock it would be nice to know what is coming next.
What will happen to this Forum ? Who is actually keeping this ( and the documantation ) online ?

@Cees_Meijer Hello, I think PYCOM is "Dead"! I have already experienced this situation with the AMIGA where there have been many takeover offers to end up being overtaken by the technology which continues to advance and the product is "extinguished"!
If this is not the case, the buyer does not communicate more than Pycom! which does not bode well!

[Cees_Meijer]

@DEFRAINE-JM I agree: It looks dead. Yet, this forum is still online, and so is the documentation. So someone must still be paying the bills ?

[Åke Forslund]

@Cees_Meijer The pybytes platform is also up and running (and actually working better than it did last summer) so my device is still delivering measurements. Hopefully it'll stay up until fall. After that I will have time to look for alternatives for my small project (unless Pycom starts showing lifesigns again, then I'll happily keep the device running on the existing platform)

[Cees_Meijer]

@Åke-Forslund That surprises me. I had two pybytes subscriptions as well, for testing, and they stopped the monthly billing just a few months ago. Are you still paying for it ?
