Are there to be any confirmations/timelines provided for all the new goodies?
e.g. Will SenseHat v2 be a commercially available product at some point, or is it just a one-off small run production for high altitude use only? Is there an expected target date for the case STL files? Next week? Next year? When they're ready, stop bothering us?
I have only recently converted the flight case v1 STL files back into solid geometry modelling in Fusion 360 to carve out on a CNC machine. I was thinking a nice piece of polished rosewood. (Not so good for heat dissipation but should be OK for an older pi.) Now I will wait, and produce a v2 case instead. I designed and built my own machine, which is capable of handling aluminium if I wanted to use that for a realistic case. What is frustrating is that although I could add on a 4th and 5th axis quite simply, the software that can create toolpaths using those is considered 'professional' level, so has corresponding price tags associated with it.
