Behind-the-scenes sneak-peak (for now, textual only) on what you can expect on next (or the one after next, if we won't manage to get it right before 16.06.2014) progress update:
1. anodizing-helper files on
gitorious
, aka the various things and procedures one need to apply after milling, before (and during) sending to anodization, tuned for "airplane" alu type. In case someone re-creates backcover on own machine, said person won't need to retract our steps (and waste prototypes) to get things right.
2. Detailed description of real-life signal strength tests (with final revision of backcover) and their results (including tests in remote location, with only one known base station for tested carrier, checking for signal directional capabilities and how they change with backcover attached). This one is initially scheduled for 30.06.2014 update.
Also, Estel will be on well-deserved vacations between 14 and 28 June, so the signal strength test is the only progress update to be expected on 30th.
Personally, I can't wait for the results,
****
