Any guesses for when the next batch will be / amount per year?
Still trying to decide if Iāll buy this now or wait for the 2nd batchš

probably by jan 12th-ish?
not really⦠probably do the next batch in feb or march ⦠every few months iād imagine
Sounds fine by me
It happened!!!
Hopefully not the financial disasterā¦
Amal, will you post the number of backers in the campaign stats like you did with the TItan? That would be interesting.
fixified!
Nice!
Say Amal, Iām wondering a few things about the blinkies:
Would it be possible to solder a LED in parallel with the NTAG chip so itās powered directly by the main coil? I wouldnāt think so as Iād expect the LED to introduce a parasitic capacitance that might be enough to detune the tank significantly. But maybe not. After all, thatās how itās done in the xSIID and perhaps the coil hasnāt been redesigned for the extra LED in that one.
EDIT: Nevermind
Would a glass xLED positioned somewhere in the empty space inside the main coil light up? Would it be too thick to encase in the biopolymer? It might be a less fragile alternative to the NFC nails, and the idea of including a HF and a LF blinkie to the flexMN is attractive.
But since theyāre totally rigid, they might poke through the polymer if the implant around em flexes. On the other hand, maybe the area near the T5577ās coil is rigid enough. I mean, it is a flexEM after all, and flex those certainly donāt.
Totally unrelated: Iām really tempted to order an Amal:
Just a thought but what about a xled assembly, outside the glass, would make a smaller form factor and could be reinforced thinner than glass
I guarantee you that teeny tiny ferrite rod at the center the coil would last half a second flat outside the glass
Iām not totally certain, but Iām pretty sure the XSIID chip gets all the power and passes some through to the led, not that the led is wired in parallel on the coil
Though, now I do wonder if flex-field detectors without chips are possible, an implantable diagnostic card would be interesting
Itād be surprising if the LED was wired in series, as it would clip half the signal (itās a diode} and halve the power available to the chip.
Yea probably a bad idea to consider,
Was just thinking about it being reinforced with the new reinforcing goop
I donāt think itās wired in series directly either, more that the chip acts sort of like a power supply to the led, I think the led is only indirectly powered from the main coil through the chip
Ah yes, maybe if it was doused in epoxyā¦
Thatās not the case. I asked Amal when the xSIID came out if memory serves.
EDIT: actually youāre right:
I eat my words
Well, like I said, Iām not completely certain
To me, Dsruptiveās site certain makes it sound that way though
