It Works!

Having battled with flicker on the new PCB for some time now I decided to build another board, to do some creative rewiring, and see what happens.
So guess what? The new board works just fine. Without modifications.
To my embarrassment I didn’t much consider that there could be some freak component or connection problem with the first board I soldered up. But that’s exactly what seems to be the case. One lives and one learns. Then one forgets.
The upshot of this all is that
1) I’ve rewritten, optimised and generally improved almost every part of the firmware trying to fix this problem.
2) I am reluctant to send out kits until I figure out what caused the flicker in the first place. Any ideas?
In the meantime I will build a couple of units and put up for sale. Enclosures shall be ordered, but won’t arrive for some 3-5 weeks. Watch this space.
And with that, a sincere thank you for continued support and patience!

hi
your blipbox looks interesting
and i was thinking that a new interface may go well with a new genre and a launch of a new social media tool 🙂
a good synergy perhaps?
be well

hmmm
my flatmate is launching a bunch of stuff
the third thing is the tool
as it is only a prototype at the moment
and i wanted a couple of alternatives to get
proof of process
in the real world
eg
your box goes into production at such and such a rate
within a month
or even a week
depending on how well we use the tool together 🙂
um
email me?
i’m at googlemail
be well!
