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. |
