Hello Ralf, thank you for your quick feedback!
I just uploaded a new revision to fix this bug. The hardware implementing expEYES can be assembled anywhere as per the free license of the design. It is currently made by Indian companies, and will be available through Hackable Devices soon. Please would you know some people willing to translate the User Manual to your language? This would be most appreciated. Best regards, Georges.
