Is there any estimation in terms of releasing? or still before x-mas?

We will have a limited number of pre-production boards next month. Full production and general availability will be Q1 next year.

Just to clarify, we expect to have almost 300 pre-production boards early in December, so there should be enough for those who want to try them. We are hopeful that these boards will pass the relevant CE approval tests, but we can't guarantee this because so far we have only run some of these tests (the ones most likely to fail) and on a previous PCB revision. That's why we are calling them pre-production boards. If the boards do pass CE testing then we will be able to do the first production run in January.

@poohzaza we won't be running a pre-order for those. They will be for sale our website and hopefully some resellers as well.

pipersw

You sell on your website ? I see you don't sell anything, everything is out of stock with Covid

T3P3Tony

@pipersw right now yes, we will let people what the plan is when we get closer to the release of the mini 5+

Someone evidently didn't look at the specs before posting....

Richard F

@CaLviNx forgive me i did not know there was a data sheet with specs as the board is still in testing and things can change before the release

The PCB is not the same between wifi and ethernet like for Duet2 ?
I love the possibility to swap from wifi to Ethernet by swap the wifi module to Ethernet module on Duet 2, it's cheaper than buy an another Duet.

T3P3Tony

@pipersw no its not the same

for 5 steppers motors at 1.4A, the TMC2209 need active cooling with the board mounted vertically ?

Probably wise to use a fan, but my guess is that you wouldn't get any overheat warnings even without fan cooling.

Great that sd-slot doesn´t sit under the ethernet any more, so easier to get the card out
