I know there was a post on the Facebook group about the IQ2 power meter. I was willing to take a punt at the price they were offering it at. Somehow I missed some updates. Check out the update posted on the Sep 10, 2018 • 2:46PM that has some real power numbers using the DC Rainmaker tool. […

This assumes that they have a production run > 1. I get the impression that these are only one of a very few that they have test run through their “mass production” setup and they don’t have tens or hundreds that they could pick a random sample. One of their differentiators was they were going to h…

You are correct, shows how long it’s been since I’ve had any direct involvement in board assembly. Switching processes over to ROHS compliance was the last time. I doubt any through-hole parts are used and it is likely all SMT and reflow. They did say in a comment later that the assembly is automat…

(Just guessing here like most of us are at this point…) It could very well be a small initial production batch used for validation/certification, which is not intended to be sent to customers. There is always a trade-of to delay everything because full testing is not in place yet, or accept the ris…
