Looking good !

I'll happily be a beta tester too - will get a Tang nano 20k ordered later today/tomorrow...

Can you confirm the specifics of the board we need?

TIA

Any recommended UK sellers for Tang nano 20k

Quick google shows amazon for 33 quid and Aliexpress just under 4 quid!!

Are these easily faked/ripped off and therefore substandard?

It's going to be a little while before I can get the boards manufactured but yes it's a TANG 20K. I have been testing with 5 of them but I did have 1 that couldn't produce HDMI output. I believe it was a clone of the TANG 20K board and not up to scratch.

re: my previous post I wouldn't go for the 4 quid ones.

If you see what happened to Mr SideCart man I understand he had to stop selling the sidecart separately without the rasberry pi pico as too many people were getting cheap/ripoff copies not fully compatible and was making support a nightmare so just a suggestion when it comes to the public release is have a recommended seller/specific type or bundle with it a load of working TANG 20K and adjust costs accordingly.

Something to think about.

Is there a way to test if they are genuine like there is for the Blue Pill?

Mine came in what appears as a correct box for the Tang Nano 20k.

Here's the sellers details if it helps anyone..

@jwd / @JezC / @PhilC

It might be better if I get the TANGS and set them up. That way if I have a duff one I can send it back etc.

[PhilC]

Fine by me @Icky, I'll try this one as well when yours arrives.

[JezC]

Works for me too @Icky
