Firstly, Seasons greetings to all our customers and thanks for your support over the years!
As we close at the end of another year I would just like to mention some changes for 2015.
The I-PAC 2, I-PAC 4, J-PAC and Mini-PAC boards will be different from now on.
No change in the number of inputs but now, all inputs can be configured as keyboard, mouse, gamepad button, volume up/down, sleep, wake, power. Macro capabilities are greatly expanded.
The older WinIPAC utility has been replaced with the newer version which is already used on the I-PAC Ultimate I/O board.
This auto-detects the board type and has fully interactive configuration as it reads/writes the board config on the fly. There is no "program board" button, changes are applied interactively.
The new I-PAC 2 also interfaces trackball and spinner.
The new I-PAC 2 has an on-board high-speed expansion interface which connects to a new console adaptor. This can be switched to Xbox360, Playstation 3 or PC XInput mode. The existing console adaptors which use the PS/2 interface will be phased out.
The price of the new boards are slightly lower than the older USB versions.
The long-awaited rotary joystick upgrade for Ultrastik 360, Servostik and J-Stik will be available in January.
Have a great 2015!
Andy
