Beta cycle looks good so far with 0.5.  If all goes well everyone should receive a download link for beta 5 tomorrow. 
 
Our servers (including email) are all completely up once again.

What I ended up handing out at TCLW we labeled 0.5.  I'll be getting it out to everyone when we get back to Nashville.
 
There are a couple known bugs with 0.5 to fix and I'll also feel more comfortable if I can run through another cycle with the beta testers before labelling it 1.0, so more realistically we're looking at about a month to work out the final kinks.  If I did my job well it may get busy around here.

I was wondering about that. I tried to get here a few times yesterday. It's great you got it worked out. Are we still looking at July for the release?]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2008 10:00:31 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=180&PID=1150#1150 0.4 Pre-Release : Yes, we're still here... http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=180&PID=1148#1148 Author: LightsOnLogan

Q: When is the best time for a major server meltdown?
A: When you 800 miles from home at a trade show with no way to fix it.... of course!
 
At midnight on 7/25 I got an automated text message stating that one of our servers were down.  Normally it would be trivial to bring up a backup server and have everything running before anyone even noticed... but from 800 miles away at the Texas Christmas Lights Workshop this isn't an easy solution.  It is even more fun when you've just handed out 100+ brochures about your product directing trade show attendees to you web site!
 
Long story short... I'm still in Houston (we're heading back tomorrow morning) but with some work I've got the site back up remotely.  Email is still down and will be for another 36 hours but the site and forum up.
 
Regarding TCLW, it was great.  Aurora showed very well.  I'm bringing back a decent size list of customer requests and have made a few good business contacts that should lead to some excellent news down the road.

No compat issues whatsoever. Ran a show with four ACx16s for the last two weeks. v.114 was a fix for the wiLink, which also works great..]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:36:32 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=178&PID=1128#1128 0.4 Pre-Release : ACx16_1_14.DLX Firmware http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=178&PID=1125#1125 Author: bdkeen

I can't seem to find what's new in June 9 release of Firmware ACx16_1_14.DLX.. Don't even see it listed in D-Light forums and don't see any 'what's new' type listing anywhere obvious on D-Light site.
Have not yet done any updates to my controllers..  Any known issues with Aurora and 1.14 Firmware? Or maybe it's too early to tell yet?
 
Thanks

And here are the videos. Camera wasn't sensitive enough to capture all the finer details (lower intensities), but you'll get the idea of what the Waveform to Event looks like along with the new D-Light ACx16 v1.13 firmware commands.
 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJUt4o9gJeo this uses an effect called "Waveform to Event", and the "Random Twinkle" along with ramping shimmers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmKmCSO1eBU A combination of "Waveform to Event", "Random Twinkle", "Random Shimer", and ramping shimmer. Look for the "secret message". :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frJLmGtBLoE Almost pure "Waveform to Event", with some Random Twinkle/Shimmer

Just survived the first night of the ID4 show, 112 channels uses the entire D-Light 1.13 command set. They are GREAT!! The Waveform to Event tool is easily abused, but a godsend for when you have "sequencer's block" and can't figure out what to put in that annoyingly blank spot!
 
All ran without a hitch, except for some doofus connecting a few strings to the wrong channel!Embarrassed
 
Will post a video later tonight/tomorrow. Sequences used will be available Sunday on the Yahoo Group.
