Re: JackAl System Preview

Jack Purdum
 

We don't see any further changes being made to the board after V4.0. Once we've had some testing time with it, we'll go into production and start selling it. I would say that all of the remaining hiccups are my software problems and changes I need to make/fix. However, given the testing and turn around time, it should be pretty easy to get things fixed in a couple of weeks.

I originally purchased a pcb (ver 1) but have not moved forward waiting the outcome of changes. Is ver 4 the final? ?If so I would like to buy one. Understand the desire/drive of development and engineering so hope you at close if not final
