Received a replacement S1 yesterday and there are small but noticeable updates to the design. Pics here:

More good evidence of Yarbo’s rapid hardware iteration. Thanks for the comparison.

This is really good! New Yarbo purchasers should theoretically benefit from all the Lessons Learned and incremental hardware updates.

Yup my thoughts exactly, Agile design practices WTF​:+1:👍👍 as long as it’s documented well in case fringe case issues pop up

Documentation is always an after thought in a lot of industries and fields. It almost always lags behind reality. However, they do a good job keeping things up to date on the Wiki. Hopefully things like the different screws and other pertinent differences can be captured there.

Yep. The challenge for them will be on the support side.

Different ages of cores and modules will all have different hardware revisions. Good record keeping by serial number is necessary to make for quick troubleshooting and issue resolution.
