OH, Boy!!!
Nice work!!! DJ did you get to update the 4800 baud rate for sendserial?
EXCELLENT!!!
Louis, the 4800 is a firmware update and your request is added within the list. Firmware is different than an ARC update
The firmware is very complicated assembler machine code and is modified under strict development planning and testing. 10,000 lines of assembler
Right...gotcha! Sorry don't know what i was thinking
@louis, i know you're eager to try that mp3 player out. i'm eager to see it work
i think we're about 2 weeks away from the next firmware
hope you can hold out!
That's awesome...Wall-E is keeping me busy for two more weeks for sure
