Hi,
New stable firmware v2.4 update is now available:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/muf1yn18fs2aqpa/AADi0hOnFfZlP2UAQYURqBFKa?dl=0
-Added Max Motor speed control in Unidirectional output modes for 8-bit and 12-bit outputs. This means you can now control the max motor speed on Sabertooth that use 0-5v analog (with 2.5v center), or Servomotors that use -11v to +11v (with 0v center).
-The direction pins now are active when the PID takes control, so you can use them to enable motor drives that support that function (AC servomotor drives).
-Fixed PID issues (wrong assignment of values in calculations).
This firmware is one of the series of updates pending that will add more functions to the AMC1280USB controller. I'll be releasing new firmware updates adding one function at the time so we can verify each added feature does not undermining existing functions.
Update 11/14/2017
New revision: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ukzaj0qdul5epwp/enc_6dof_AMC1280USB_v2.4_rev3.hex?dl=0
-Fixed max motor speed for 12-bit outputs as it was missing
In other news, the kickstarter PCB's were received from manufacturing and currently undergo final assembly (connectors, LCDs, MCU, 3D print cases parts fit). This involves soldering and manual assembly by hand.
Testing of all controllers will be performed before they are shipped to ensure functionality and quality.
I hope the shipping of the kickstarter rewards will start very soon. Again I apologize for any delays but you will have to understand that is huge effort to manage such project involving a complete product (hardware and firmware).
Here is a video I took a few days ago after I verified the shipment of the PCB's for damages during transport:
