Are we going to get any updates on where we are with this project? Did I waste my money and time on it? Hello?
I'm hoping not! Been waiting myself to see when the next update is coming out. Been a good while.
Mine is just sitting there collecting dust. Waste of money.
Yep me too, they can’t even bother telling us what’s going on!
No more Particle anything for me!
Folks; I'm happy to take this to Engineering and the Product team, but do you have any specific questions or concerns?
Tachyon is alive and well and our customers are deploying fleets of devices in the field. Development is continuing, and bugs are being worked through.
Many of us are waiting for singed binaries for the TPU with Ubuntu 24.04. When can we expect that to be fully functional?
Also the main concern is that there has been zero involvement in the forums here by any Particle staff addressing questions, hence this post.
I sent a message a few months ago asking when the desktop boot will work without having battery attached. I added a message to the Tachyon update 1.1.41 thread regarding this with no resolution. @mrlambchop was going to test with Belkin Thunderbolt dock, but hasn't responded to my reply. Frustrating to have to RDP into the Tachyon or forced to attach battery to use desktop mode.
If they are working on it, they are pretty quiet about it. A little feedback and touching base here would go a long way to allaying fears of abandonment....lol.
Thanks folks, I have a call with the PM for the Tachyon project to talk through this, and to settle on an update cadence.
Thank you. I have been generally very happy with Particle products, I love all the Photons I have played with, but this project has really given your brand a beating in my mind. I'm just a single consumer so I know I'm not a big player, but it's the small things a company does that makes it stand out. I kinda hope this acquisition doesn't just turn you into a faceless corporation.
Word of mouth is powerful, all it takes is for someone who makes big decisions for a company to hear something negative about you and you would never know you missed out on a great opportunity.
Wow, no activity on here in 6 days. That really sends a message doesn't it. What on earth could be taking so long to update the people that supported your project. Every day that passes by just smears the Particle name.
Maybe we should be asking Digi what is going on with this project after the takeover!
Based on the press release they (Particle CEO) claimed that nothing would change after the merger, but that remains to be seen. Been a long time fan of their products but now I'm not so sure anymore.
I guess this is why companies use the Kickstarter platform. When they decide they do not want to continue development on a project, they can feel assured that they have no legal responsibility to compensate their customers for taking their money and not delivering a functional product. I think this will be the last Kickstarter project I will participate it.
