by the way online translators sucks

Being newly wed to my lovely Ukrainian wife, I can confirm ALL computer based translators suck for English to/from a Slavic language. She has Magic Goody, which is closer than any other, but for certain if you run a couple of normal sentences through one way, and take the translated text and run it back the other way, you have end up with much different meanings. For a computer dude, its hard to believe the first time you see it.

A human is the real translator.

Any Progress on a prototype?

anyone else really excited about the prospect of a stand alone vnt controller?

Sorry for the lack of progress reports guys! Been manic over this way! Prototype hardware has been assembled, and fitted to a rather nice extruded ally case measuring a nifty 110mmx80mmx45mm, so is nice and compact, yet extremely rugged

(also, I had a load left over from a previous project......)

Coding is where I'm at now, and really need to kick myself into gear and get going again as I lost momentum with it. A question asked earlier was what language it will be coded in, it will be assembler in this instance.

One point I'm undecided on as of yet is the release of the source code. The hardware I am not concerned about, as that could easily be used to power your toaster! Granted if you were determined enough, yes, it's not rocket science to disassemble but if you can do that you'd have found it far easier to write your own

I know I will get arguments saying I should, and I've used enough open source software myself to know the merits of releasing it. As I say, as of yet undecided.

I'll soon have summat someone can have a fiddle with, so stick with me guys!

don't, someone would be selling as their own in exactly 23 seconds

you could sell the programmed (and protected) chips along with the PC program and board (or pcb file for homebrewing)

that would offset your development costs, I would buy one if the price is right
