Hi Clowder!
So... here's what's been happening....
The pump arrived. A very nice unit. However, they didn't list a specific cable needed to allow the pump to be computer-controlled. This was ungood.
So... I spent a goodly amount of time trying to create a cable that would work. In this, I was successful. I never knew all that arcane knowledge about serial communications would still come in handy.
After getting that rigged, it was time to fine-tune the pump, write some new software to generate pump control files ('cause what I originally wrote was too cumbersome), and toss the pump into the lab.
Another few hours were spent trying to figure out why the pump kept loosing its calibration. Found it... it was a silly little thing...
The pump is now in service and yes, it's making mixing MUCH faster.
There's still some tweaking I want to do with the pump control files, but even if I don't do that tweaking, things are running GREAT!
In other news...
We've got a couple new flavors coming... Pure Sex and Better Than Sex... be watching for those...
We're also going to start carrying hardware again after the 1st of the year. We'll only be carrying hardware that Sybil has personally used and can attest to the quality thereof. She's very big on how things work moreso then how they look, so you can be assured that we won't be selling junk.
So... I guess the bottom line is this: deejStuff is set to EXPLODE in 2014.
Hang onto your hats, people!
