Wireless firmware upgrades almost completely working.
There are still some issues with transmission errors and acknowledgment packets but we're able to change the program, recompile, and reprogram the DL2000 wirelessly through the DL2K-LINK.
This means that software upgrades in the future can be posted online on our site for download, and you can download the upgrade, fire up the DL2K-LINK control panel, and transmit. So your product can be kept up to date with the latest features, bug fixes and improvements, without becoming obsolete.
The DL2000 uses a color indicator (full color LED) to signal the state it's in and what kind of packets it's receiving. This is a small demo created while writing the firmware functions which allow customization of the colors through the DL2K-LINK
The firmware is being mostly rewritten trying to incorporate all functions which were tested separately until now, and to enable the wireless firmware upgrades which are really the most tricky RF transmission for the following reasons:
The PCB design is final, and has been tested to death. And here are the true actual printed circuit boards your product will be shipped with. White, gold-plated, classy.
The PCB is only 0.8mm thick, thin enough to test the final remote control assembly results (PCB + components + battery pack + rubber keypad coming up soon + light pipe + overlay).
The saying "mad as a hatter" came out because people used to use lead to make hats. So hatters were all a bit odd.
Now LED manufacturers are by far the craziest suppliers in China. You already know from yesterday's post about the yin/yang RGB riddle which we couldn't decipher at all.
"Dear sir, I have one question about 5mm RGB,This product is a total of yin or yang and What is the use of the product?Thanks!"
We need to have some sort of box. A thick cardboard box, with a full color printed glossy surface, and a foam insert. Windows are necessary given that nobody's seen something like this before, but we need to figure out costs... Target total size is 40x30cm and 4-5cm depth. Already lots of stuff in this picture but there may be more. The waist strap, for instance, and possibly a printed miniature male training handbook for easy reference with all our male training articles. Size may even close to double if we end up becoming CB distributors and packaging the CB3000 with the product.
How does it feel to be the kid with the biggest, coolest toy? Those days are coming back soon!!
This will *dominate* any store.
Oh, the joy... even thinking about making a larger than life 10x cardboard version of the receiver to give out to shops to promote this.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves... back to finding some foam... and more vendor begging to get someone to produce small quantities...
First the really important stuff - here are some results from the magic "nail printing machine" as seen at the Canton fair.
What's that? Oh you think they were printed in reverse heh, you anglosaxon colonialists... Chinese is traditionally written right to left so it only makes sense that the machine should output mirror images of any file it's fed :)
Miss Kim had these on for days now. She really likes them.
