PIXAD8 Testing and Production Notes ...

[David_AVD]

If you're looking for an actual distance, I think it's generally agreed that 1 to 2 metres between the controller and first pixel should be ok. Shorter is better. As usual YMMV and all that.

OK -


It looks like the hardware is stable. I've worked the last 5 days to get the software to at least a testing and shippable status.


Today we tested all the units needed to fulfill orders that have been invoiced and paid (you know who you are).


They will ship out tomorrow (Wednesday 7/13 USA Time). The shipping software will automatically send out a shipment advisory email.


We will then send out invoices to all others who have ordered in the past week and ship upon payment receipt.


We will be posting some preliminary documentation and software files tomorrow.


There is still a lot of software features to test and add and they should be available by the time most of you receive your hardware.
