We weren't allowed to take pictures. The fact that it took them 3 hours to create a battery pack (battery, cable, connector) with the required properties to fit in our receiver enclosure underlines how miniaturized this thing has become. The cable must stick out from a certain point on the battery and at a certain angle or it won't fit.
If you have started following us recently, the miniaturization is one of the key features of this product. Would have been easy to stick a 9V battery in an off the shelf waterproof enclosure, and two of those cable glands that look like (and are as big as) a stormtrooper's helmet. But no - here we've eliminated the already tiny 24V pack, created custom miniature grommets, we have so little space that even the thickness of the battery wires (less than 1mm?) needs to be considered. We probably went too far with miniaturization, the DL2000 looks so much smaller than the CB-3000 when they are connected!
Anyway, they've learned how to create this pack now, and they will also fix up the remote control batteries. Final samples in 3 days.
One thing that's pending is to find a way to recharge these remote control li-po packs. USB recharging requires expensive certification even for a simple circuit (because it would connect to AC mains indirectly). So we're thinking, if we can get two jumbo sized 3.6V batteries and hook those up to a li-po recharging IC, and slap a connector on that, we'd have a pretty cool little board that we don't need to certify (as it uses batteries as a power source) with which you could recharge the remote's li-po pack. One set of AA sized li-ion batteries would be enough to recharge at least 30 times probably up to 50. Then you...
We're super impressed by this piece of Chinese high technology. For a near-zero price they obtained "tap detection" typical of MEMS micromachined accelerometers!!!
Let's go with order. We're trying to find a fish to become the official DreamLover Labs fish. No we haven't gone totally insane. We need to take some nice waterproofing pictures real soon so we want a fish and a fish tank. We didn't find any fish around here (perhaps because they all get eaten!) - but ...

Due to the sudden and unexpected series of tormented dreams the DreamLover Labs team has reported since the beginning of the initial DL2000 R&D phase, including vivid snapshots of diagrams, circuit layouts and pulse characteristics, and the unusual shape of the device... to the way in which they have found themselves unable to stop compulsively developing this technology in the face of all adversities... and to the unusual and superior design and technology used, some have speculated that the DreamLover 2000 construction plans are actually being communicated telepathically by a technologically advanced race with a gynarchically structured society.
