"Hi Russell,

Your job is under assembly process. It should be completed in the next few days. If everything goes alright, you should get them by the end of next week.

Regards!

pretty much finished the virtual alphanumeric code now. iv left out a few companys for now

// astro
// hankin
// zaccaria

due to them not having many machines! but will get them running at some point
the rest should be cool.

if any tables dont work / are rendered wrong could you please email me with the table name / fault and ill try and sort it. i have gone through quite a few tables but not all of them.

Russdx, did you do anything with the Flipper Football table that JP did? It seems to have a much higher than normal resolution on the DMD.

Russdx,
Is there any way to have Windows treat your board as a display (albeit a very low res. one) rather than a serial port? Essentially making it a 128x32 pixel USB monitor, once the DMD is connected.

0x000000 Off
0x808080 Dim
0xC0C0C0 Mid
0xFFFFFF Full
