papry 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2020 Sorry, not really the right place to ask. I haven't visited the forum for some time, and I see that there are quite a few spam postings, which I'm surprised haven't been deleted. So I checked twitter and see that there hasn't been a @gadgetfactory tweet since Feb 2017. So just wondering is Jack OK? I'm a big fan of the Papilio FPGA boards as this was my first FPGA dev board purchase, and I have had much fun and learnt quite a lot since then, despite having lots of problems when I initially tried to get my Papilio One to do something :-). All sorted now! I was kind of hoping that there might be some new Papilio boards using newer FPGAs, but I guess this is now very unlikely :-(. regards... --Papry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Baker 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2020 I'm a new Papilio Pro user (bought one a few months ago from Seeed Studio) and have bought a few wings recently from the GadgetFactory store. I think the Papilio boards would still be great for beginners but unfortunately they're not for sale anymore. It's a shame so much work went into this product and it's seemingly abandoned. I also wonder what happened to Jack Gassett. I hope he's well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papry 1 Report post Posted September 1, 2020 Hi Ben, yes the Papilio boards are a great choice. One of these boards was my very first FPGA board, and I have had lots of fun and frustration. Iniitially using the Papilio One didn't go well, but I managed to work through the various problems and finally was able to start writing my own code. Still no idea what has happened to jack :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope my order is fulfilled. ----- November 10 Until now my order was not fulfilled. I will update this thread regarding my purchase. ------ November 12 They shipped my order today! Someone is running the store. It is just a shame Jack has gone away. They could give us an update! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
