Hybrid V3

I expect to do the V3 video for purchasers some time next week (to show progress). Things are going very well, but we changed part of the program, which led to some bugs that set us back a week or so. But we're past them now.

Below are some comparative timings from the same spin on my home PC (4 different tests):



These are not at all optimized, and my PC runs many processes. The V3 hardware will be stripped of background processes so will be even more accurate, although even the above is overkill. Remember that manual clocking computers can only be accurate to within 50ms, and the above is much more accurate. The above timings are from a moving wheel in a video, to make things difficult. But I dont expect you'll dance in front of the wheel anyway.

With the ball at roughly 700ms, this is quite fast and still you can see the accuracy of ball timings is very high.
