BTW, before you guys start talking about how touch screens don't work in cold weather...this is resistive touch, not capacitive like your phone, so it will work just fine in cold weather.

Thats cool, I like to feel the buttons as pushing them. Eventually they wont have buttons. Why they making to different types? To get people hooked on them with the buttons then do away with them?

I think some people require the buttons, or really want them, so for now we're keeping them just in case. There is also a "classic" mode on the controller that does away with the new GUI and just uses the old menu-based structure that the ASC/3 currently has. In that case, I think you have to have some of the buttons, but I could be wrong.

The button thing applies to Intelights X2. The earlier version of their controller software "MaxTime" was more generic and didnt have a GUI or touch screen option.

They've moved into an android based version of the software

The video made me laugh!...

At 0:26 and at 0:39 look at the MMU and all the conflicts...there is no power to the load switches so the monitor is spazzing out with the red fault indicator on :rotfl:

Still waiting on our units here at the office to play...I mean test with!


Very cool Dan. Really glad to see some newer technology pop up in cabinets now!

I'm a professional QA and tester, so if they need any testing, well.. :Wink2:

Interested to see how these turn out!
