RoadTest Selection Update and Shipping - Sept 2025

cstanton 4 days ago

Hey Everyone,

I thought you'd appreciate a further update with Randy retiring.

Currently on my list of RoadTests to appraise sign-ups for:

/products/roadtest/rt/roadtests/692/seeking_an_engineer_to_review_a_frdm_development_board_from_nxp

/products/roadtest/rt/roadtests/694/seeking_a_tech_enthusiast_to_evaluate_the_nordic_thingy91_x 

/products/roadtest/rt/roadtests/695/seeking_an_engineer_to_review_the_analog_devices_voyager_4_wireless_vibration_eval_kit_with_edge_ai 

/products/roadtest/rt/roadtests/696/seeking_a_maker_engineer_to_evaluate_the_weller_micro_soldering_kit_and_filtration_unit 

On my list of RoadTests to ship out products for:

/products/roadtest/rt/roadtests/693/seeking_a_tech_enthusiast_to_evaluate_the_arduino_giga_display_bundle 

Still in Enrolment:

/products/roadtest/rt/roadtests/697/seeking_an_engineer_to_evaluate_infineons_psoc_4100t_plus_prototyping_kit 

Upcoming (sneak peak):

- https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/nano-r4/

- https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-hardware/nRF9151-DK 

- https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/cm5-dev-kit/ 

Shipping Update

We've gotten on top of our shipping woes at the moment, and we're back with TNT/FedEx. This does mean that we are unable to ship to some locations, but we can directly handle any customs issues. I've shipped out a number of design challenge and roadtest products already, and more will be coming along. We had an unfortunate case where we used UPS, and due to lack of follow-up, the products were destroyed, or severely delayed which I find unacceptable.

Do your Reviews!

There are several RoadTests where members that are chosen have not submitted their reviews, I appreciate that for some of these it's because the products arrived late and we can work with that, but you do need to do your review else we may ask for the product back. I shall be following up on this.

Thanks for your patience during this transition period. We appreciate you!

    I am pretty sure number of applicants for CM5 kit will be more than the number of applicants for the other two kits put together. Not that they are bad, Nordic dev kit can be used only on certain region…

    Nano R4 looks great, and the Pi CM5 kit also should be immensely popular.

    Previously they shipped the dev kit with iBasis sim cards which had a poor coverage

    Now they are using Onomondo which seems to have a better coverage.

    This needs to be said and must be appreciated. Thank you again for tackling weird demands regarding customs clearance.
