Dear CS Backers,

Happy New Year! We hope that everyone has had a relaxing and wonderful holiday season. We are finally preparing to start production. Our final obstacle with the hardware has been the GPIOs – we are now confident that everything is working as it should, and we are ready to go into production.

This has obviously delayed us further, and with Covid-19 surging in China, yet again, it’s been very difficult to make progress. We are trying to go into production prior to the upcoming Chinese New Year, but we are unlikely to complete full production before it begins. CNY and Covid-19 are amongst our final challenges, and Covid-19 is likely to be an ongoing issue, as it has been for everyone worldwide.

We’re closer than ever now, and we expect be able to start shipping as soon as we possibly can. I’m expecting to start production prior to CNY, and to finish production in the weeks following CNY.

We know this has been a long time coming, and we greatly appreciate your patience. We’re anxious to ship the boards and looking forward to completing this next step in our journey. If you’d like to cancel your order due to the many delays, we completely understand and apologize for not being able to deliver in a timely manner for you.

As we make further progress, we will let you know. We’re hoping everything goes smoothly here on out.

Thank you and Happy Holidays!!
The Hackboard Team
