Hi. Everyone,
First of all, I can't english well. But I think that you can understand below contents well...hope...hope...hope...
Today I personally contacted with Lyn because of something else issue.(other issue from away this gb)
During this time, I told the Geekhack Dolphin GB with Lyn about many replys.
According to Lyn's request, I can write about the following information.
I didn't participate in the GH dolphin GB, and I can't answer any more.
Just it is written without filtering and just I delivers information from him.
If you have some questions, please contact to moderator of this GB.
Basically, Lyn is currently having a very difficult and busy time due to various personal and health issues.
Nevertheless he have been doing his best to successfully complete this GB.
1. Current progress
The housing has already been completed as seen in the photo, and the PCB is as follows
All problems have been resolved, and production and testing are in progress.
- 87 PCB: Finished production and basic test completed, final test is in progress before shipment from Lyn.
- EM7 PCB: Production in progress (Drilling hole on PCB)
2. Problems
Paypal issue was done and this was already to inform from nguyenkimtam.
Nguyenkimtam's Paypal account was held.
Due to this Paypal Issue, about 2 month ago Lyn proposed a full refund to participants and drop the GB,
but finally it was decided to continue this GB.
As a result, currently Lyn have been received only $10000 from nguyenkimtam and it is very small coverage cost.
It is just covering only Dolphin 17~18 units.
So It is expected to proceed as follows at present
Send 10 units ==> Receive ==> Particapant's confirm(Paypal) ==> Transfer of released paypal money to Lyn.
==> 10 units shipped again .......
So you can easily imagine the full shipment duration.
It is expected that it will take a long time until the entire dispatch.
3. PCB Compatibility
The internal layout of the Dolphin V2, which was progressed in Korea, and the GH dolphin, is the same.
So there is PCB compatibility between the two versions. (87 and EM7 all)
I hope that this information is helpful to understand the progress and all issue wil be cleared.
Cheers
