I wish I could say absolutely, positively. The code is written and works sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't. I'm very confident I can find and fix it. Will that be this weekend or next week sometime or maybe even later.


We have great confidence in the BootLoader (but it is brand new) and expect it to be very easy for people to rapidly update their firmware.


We have a 99% confidence level on the WS2801 and LPD6803 but even they may need some tweaking once we get feedback from customers. I'd put the TM180X at about 75% but with expectations that it will rise rapidly.


I hope people can bear with us over the next few weeks as we find and fix any problems as more people use the new product. I hope the solid work we've done on our other products will make people confident that we can make this product to the same high standards.

An update from Ed in the chat tonight seems to indicate that the issue plaguing just a few testers of the PIXAD8 has been found, and a few things need tidying up and the hardware will be shipping next week. I cant wait to get my hands on a PIXAD8 and take it to the Sydney Mini :)
