Hey all! Joey here. It’s been a wild month.

大家好! 我是乔伊。这真是狂野的一个月啊。

When I last checked in, it was to inform you that the ship date for our microcontroller had slipped from this summer to next spring. Well, there’s been another change: Earlier this month, I arrived at the workshop to discover 1,650 SAM L22 microcontrollers sitting on my bench. The chips have arrived!

上一次我做项目更新，是为了通知你们，微控制器的发货日期从今年夏天推迟到明年春天。不过，现在情况又有了新变化：本月初的时候，我来到车间，发现有1650个SAM L22微控制器放在我的长椅上。芯片到货了!

On the one hand, this is great news. We have the chips! Unfortunately, we’re still not quite out of the woods on parts shortage stuff. As of right now, we only have about 400 of our 9-pin connector on hand, with the rest coming this fall. This means that I can’t make enough Sensor Watch boards today to fulfill every backer.

一方面，这是个好消息。我们有芯片了！ 然而，不幸的是，我们仍然没有完全摆脱零件短缺的困境。截至目前，我们手上只有约400个9针连接器，其余的将于今年秋天到货。这意味着如今我无法制作足够多的Sensor Watch电路板来满足全部的支持者。

But I can make 400.

但，我可以制作出400个。

On Tuesday I connected with Cyber City Circuits, my PCB assembly partner in Augusta, Georgia. They’ve graciously agreed to assemble the first 400 boards next month, and to then do the rest this fall when the remaining parts come in. This means that if all goes well, 60% of Sensor Watch backers will get their boards right on time, with the rest to be fulfilled early next year. I will admit to mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, for about 250 of y’all, Sensor Watch is going to be a few months late. On the other hand, I’m proud to say that in this year of unprecedented shortages, we’re going to be able to fulfill the majority of Sensor Watch backers on the original timeline. That feels like a win.

周二，我与位于乔治亚州奥古斯塔的PCB组装合作商Cyber City Circuits取得联系。他们已经慷慨地同意在下个月组装第一批400块板子，其他的板子将在秋天零件到货后再行组装。这意味着，如果一切顺利的话，60%的Sensor Watch认购者将按时收到他们的电路板，其余的将在明年初交付。我承认在这个问题上我的心情很复杂。一方面，对于你们中的大约250人来说，Sensor Watch将晚到几个月；另一方面，我也很自豪地说，在这个前所未有的芯片短缺之年，我们仍然能够在原定的时间表内满足大多数Sensor Watch认购者的需求。这感觉也是一种胜利。

Special Edition Sensor Watch: Field Reports

特别版Sensor Watch：现场报告

In other news, everyone who ordered a Special Edition Sensor Watch should have received it by now. I’m starting to see field reports of folks who have assembled theirs! I’ve been super excited to see the different styles of F-91W that folks have chosen for their Sensor Watch board swaps. @helenleigh, Crowd Supply’s Head of Community, chose a silver F-91W with a clear jelly band:

其他最新消息，订购特别版Sensor Watch的支持者现在应该已经都收到了。我开始陆续看到一些用户组装完成的第一手报告！我非常兴奋地看到，人们选择了各种不同风格的F-91W作为他们的Sensor Watch手表。@helenleigh，Crowd Supply的社区主管，选择了一个银色的F-91W，配上透明的果冻表带：

@GeekMomProjects chose a similar watch with a baby blue tint, here displaying the sunrise/sunset watch face:

@GeekMomProjects 选择了一款类似的手表，带有婴儿蓝（粉蓝）的色调，这里显示的是日出/日落表盘：

@IShJR opted for an F-91W with a royal blue watch bezel and sparkling highlights:

@IShJR 选择了一款带有宝蓝色表圈和闪亮星点的F-91W：

And in perhaps the coolest mod I’ve seen, @MareNextDoor transplanted parts from two different watches to create this striking A158 Sensor Watch with an inverted white-on-black LCD. I didn’t even know this was possible!

而我所见过的最炫酷的改装是，@MareNextDoor 从两块不同的手表上移植了零件 ，创造了这款引人注目的A158 Sensor Watch，带有反色的白底黑字LCD。这我之前甚至都不知道可不可行！

Join the Movement: Community Watch Faces, and the Sensor Watch Discord

快来参与Movement（“机芯”）社区固件表盘设计，并加入Sensor Watch的Discord频道

In addition to folks assembling their hardware, last month also saw folks building their own software for Movement, the community firmware for Sensor Watch!

除了看到人们组装硬件，上个月我还看到很多人为Movement（Sensor Watch的社区固件）构建了他们自己的软件！

First off, @tahnok built a productivity app he’s calling the Tomato Timer, after another popular productivity timer varietal. It counts out 25 minutes of focused time, alternating with five-minute breaks to keep your mind limber.

首先，@tahnok 建立了一个生产力应用程序，他称之为番茄计时器，这是以另一个流行的生产力计时器而命名的。它计时25分钟为专注时间，然后5分钟为休息时间，反复交替进行，以保持你的头脑灵活。

And then @spencerbyw designed the amazing Probability watch face, which lets you flip a coin or throw a die (from 4 to 100 sides, including the ever-so-popular 20-sided die):

然后，@Spencerbyw 设计了令人惊叹的 "概率表盘"，它可以让你抛硬币或掷骰子（从4面到100面，包括一直很受欢迎的20面骰子）：

This watch face is especially exciting to me, because it’s the first to make use of a unique peripheral on the SAM L22: its True Random Number Generator. When this watch face first appears, the system’s pseudo-random number generator automatically gets seeded with entropy from the microcontroller’s hardware RNG, which generates high-quality random numbers. It’s yet another situation where the versatility of this little microcontroller really shines.

这款表盘让我特别兴奋，因为这是第一次利用SAM L22的独特外设：真随机数字发生器。当该表盘第一次显示时，系统的伪随机数发生器自动通过微控制器的硬件RNG的熵来获得种子，从而产生高质量的随机数。这也是这款小小微控制器之灵活多用途的亮点之一。

Want to talk about these watch faces, or get advice about designing one of your own? Sensor Watch also now has a Discord! Check it out here.

想讨论这些手表表盘，或者寻求如何设计你自己的表盘的建议？Sensor Watch现在也有一个Discord频道了! 请在这里查看。

Thanks so much again for backing Sensor Watch! This whole process has been so gratifying; it’s been magical to see folks building their watches and designing new watch faces, and I can’t wait to get boards into all of your hands very soon.

再次感谢大家对Sensor Watch的支持！这个项目全程都让我感到格外高兴。整个过程是如此令人欣慰；看到人们制作他们的手表和设计新的表盘是那么的神奇，我真是迫不及待地想尽快将电路板送到你们所有人的手中。
