New assembly run completed!

What is your new year's resolution for your husband or boyfriend?
Make 2015 the year of total male compliance!

We have, despite great adversity, completed a new assembly run of our product line and are now fully stocked in preparation for the holidays.

This took our full attention for over three months, trying to source all necessary components, some of which were running low world-wide. We had to literally beg the manufacturers to release some stock they had allotted for sampling. Of course we had to move back to China to see this whole thing through. Sorry to everyone for the delay in approving comments.

We are also about 2/3rds of the way through the creation of a new application for the DreamLover 2000 Pro Mobile Edition which will allow you to use your android mobile phone as a remote control. You still have to connect our DL2K-LINK to the phone, but previously this only allowed a mobile to receive web commands and transmit them to the wearable receiver - now the controlling user can use the mobile + DL2K-LINK (Mobile Edition version) to transmit commands when the wearer is in the vicinity - instead of our standard remote control which is still included. The DL2K-LINK signal has greater range than the remote control.





As some of you will know we have begun shipping 100% solder-mount circuit boards for the past couple of months but this is our first fully automated SMT assembly run for the DreamLover 2000 receiver. Previously we had very hard to control through-hole components, a capacitor and an LED bent 90 degrees above the circuit board to fit the enclosure and so forth. We replaced all that with components that can be picked and placed by machines.

In the process we have increased reliability, increased LED brightness and slightly increased radio sensitivity. Rework rate was still high but only affected trivial parts of the board (some diodes and the USB connector). For the first time we had less than 1% assembly problems on the accelerometer which is the smallest chip on the receiver board (for Canine Mode and PSA).

Great to hear that you keep innovating! Keep up the good work!

Any chance that the smartphone remote control app would also become available for the iPhone?

We cannot support iPhone, as we do not own a large scale manufacturing facility and therefore cannot apply for "made for iphone" program and buy their security chips.
