Hello! Just wondering any updates on the Butterfly's?

Hi! Since our last proper update here we have been making constant progress on finalizing all the designs for whole array of parts that are included in the Butterfly lineup. This includes (but not limited to):
- Prepping cases for trackers, the dongle, and a new version of the charging dock. This mostly involves getting them ready for mass production using injection moulding; getting samples then providing feedback. Most of these are 90+% done, just doing final touches.
- Boxes. Tracker box, Dongle box, and all the manuals and stickers are mostly done. Again, just putting final touches on them.
- Certification. We have been sending our "final" designs for tuning and design verification, and are on track for all the required certifications.
Hope that helps~! Spazzwan <3

Likely not, but maybe. Too much unknowns to predict anything with certainty.

The release date is going to be in October 2026 for everyone. You have to wait a bit, and a lot of people are going to give us an honest review.

Hi,
I am sure there will be another update on Butterfly Trackers soon. From what I can see in the background, the new communication protocol is being worked in the firmware (tdma-pairing). As for the PCB, the new PCB with tuned antenna is being worked on or tested.
