From building a product that could have been released if\u00a0it wasn&#8217;t for navigating the maze of covid chip shortages, and the need for finding all new components, re-engineering the platform from component selection to PCB design.. and now new firmware to be written.<br \/>\nInch by inch, we are getting closer to a new version that can be built at scale which will drastically up your prerunning game.<br \/>\nIn nutshell, the latest revision has powered up and shown first signs of life on the new chip. A small and quiet victorious step acheived at 11PM at the electronics bench earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>As I juggle various development and customer service \/ order fulfillment, I don&#8217;t have a firm ETA but things feel like they are finally getting really close to testing this final itteration.<br \/>\nProvided the onboard peripherals function as intended&#8230; it&#8217;s just needs the firmware written to not only replicate the prototype functionality but add powerfull\u00a0additional features to help knock your racing efforts out of the park.<\/p>\n<p>Exciting stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Stay Tuned, and make sure to whitelist my e-mail address so my announcments make it to your inbox. Not only am I excited for this release, but I have more cool and much needed devices planned. The trailmark is forging the way with this new chip.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for sticking with me on this journey, I&#8217;m looking forward to this release as I know many of you are as well.<br \/>\n-Steven<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have been following the progress of the TrailMark, you probably know that it&#8217;s been an incredible journey that has tested patience and perseverance.
