Nice

There is going to be another delay because I'm having problems with my testing computer. :(
I want to test every unit I ship out.
I'll probably just end up using my cab for testing, but it is going to slow down the process.

Update on Rotary Interface:
Everything is back on track after a few hurdles.  It turns out the problems with my testing computer was due to a defective IPAC4 that I bought last week.  When I finally tracked down the problem, I was able to repair the IPAC.  For testing, I also picked up some very used and abused LS-30's.  I was also able to repair them, but I discovered that rotary switches that are well past their prime do not switch as clean as new sticks.  When I designed my interface I used the LS-30's on my cab which are new.  To address this issue with older sticks, I added some switch debounce code to the interface.  I am very pleased with the results.   Even this one LS-30 that I thought might be trash is playable now.  Still you have to be careful when buying used LS-30's because if the rotary switches are too worn the sticks will never play properly.

Now I have to reprogram all the boards and I still need to test them.  Hopefully they will be ready for shipping by the end of the week.

Here are a few pics of my test CP which I built in an hour from the top of a broken CD player.  It's kind of pathetic but it didn't cost anything because I had all the parts.

Man that is a brilliant idea for a quick portable CP enclosure.  Makes me want to gut out an old VCR and make a test CP hehe.
