I’ve just received an early production PiJuice and two solar panels from Pi-Supply. It’s a loaner as there aren’t many of them in existence at the moment. In this video I take a first look at them and give my perspective on how/why it came to be so late.
The DIP switch is to change the charge profile, not the i2c address as I said in the video.
It all looks very nice so far. I will start “playing” with it today. I’ve got this to play with for a few more days. I’ll publish another video with my findings some time next week.

I am interested in the PiJuice and will be interested in your tests.
Might be nice if you included a link where one can purchase the products.

I would assume this will replace the WittyPi hat as well as supplying power to the unit?
It does have some of the functionality of WittyPi – yes – in that you can use it to wake up the Pi.
Where can we buy one?
You will be able to buy one from Pi Supply once they are finished. But that will not be until the end of January 2018 at the earliest.
Exactly! See links above.
Just updated GitHub too, more updates coming – https://github.com/PiSupply/PiJuice
