So at 27th September at “Pianeta Amiga” event, we were able to have one prototype of our Open Hardware Powerboard Tyche, more details in our past post.
Thanks to every donor we are very near to reach the goal for Prototype Campaign, we have other 48 hours to conclude, no other time left. After this last strong effort needed to pay the prototype to the manufacturer we have reached the mountain peak.
To our project have been awarded grants from NLnet Foundation and NGI Zero
II December we will receive the first part of the funds from NLnet Foundation and its partners in NGI Zero , so our Open Hardware Powerboard Tyche Dektop project have been awarded grants in the twelfth open call of the NGI Zero Commons Fund (deadline April 2026).
The final effort Around 2000 euro to donate in 48 hours
What means that we ask you to concentrate your support before this 31th October 2026, because we need to pay the manufacturer before 31th October 2026 and the funds we will receive in December. For the next few months, we shouldn’t have to pressure you to make large donations on short notice.
