Got mine today....not sure though, how to attach heatsink to the pcb.  I got the triacs mounted on the heatsink, but theres 2 screws and spacers and no nuts.  It says to put the screws through heatsink - not sure how theres no more holes besides the 16 for the triacs.

Am I missing something??

Mine were tight but after some coaxing they went in begrudgingly.

11) Create a program to display, and possibly make simple modifications to, an xLights sequence file.

----> yes! Esp if you are going to require that ppl convert lor and vixen to xlights.  In addition, I like the visualization in the sequencer.  I can run it in lor or vixen, but if forced to convert I now have to make any/ all changes in another prog and reconvert.  Seems like a natural progression down the road.

-------

4) Create an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch version of the Tester program. This would be E1.31 ONLY - so only compatible with the Etherdongle,  ECG devices, and some of the projects on DIYC.

--> I would love an ipad / iphone app

---
3) Merge the Scheduler and Tester programs so that you can run tests while your show is waiting to run (currently you have to exit the scheduler to run tests).

--> This seems like a good idea

---

7) Since LOR controllers, and now D-Light controllers, speak DMX, I would like to remove support for the LOR and D-Light protocols. People with these controllers would have to run them in DMX mode. Even though people might bemoan the lack of flexibility, I think they will really like the improved responsiveness (i.e. no lag) in their shows. Secondly, if we take this step, then I can simplify the scheduler to only play xLights sequence files. LOR and Vixen sequences would need to be run through the xLights converter. This would make the xLights coding much simpler (I vote for this one  :) )

--> In theory, I like the idea of simplification and speed.  BUT, I can imagine there will be some conversion issues that will plague many users.  Sounds like it may create a headache but for speed maybe its necessary.

-----

10) Display real channel names in the Tester, instead of "Channel 123".

--> Definitely

Not sure if you guys saw my post a few months ago my realtime lighting project. Basically its a program that creates a show on the fly to any music you play in the program, or through your computers microphone.

One idea I had was to add an export utility to the program where it can save a show created on the fly to a file, so that you can edit and play it in a traditional sequencer.

I fell it's to early in the year to commit to anything yet, but I would really like to develop this into something usable this year...  I already put quite a bit of work into it...


Csf,

I can't wait ... thank you for all your hard work already!  I will be eagerly awaiting the results.
