yeah, I think its a tough time of all manufactures, both Osmose and EraeTouch are also quite delayed for similar reasons.
(though, I think Pipes was quite delayed before the pandemic)
anyway, lets hope Pipes get it back on track…
on a postive note - I backed ripcord, a ‘simple’ USB to DC power solution, it was something like 2 years later in delivery (I think inital delivery target was 6 months, and took 2.5 years) due to alot of manufacturing issues.
but in the end they delivered, and it is a great product… so lets have hope
