papry Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papry Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Nice to see that all the spam postings have been removed/cleaned up. My question is the same, where is Jack Gassett? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Baker Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papry Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share 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 :-( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
