I've finished testing of the new wireless module for the Hybrid V3. I'm happy to say it works perfectly. The new wireless was required as per my post at http://genuinewinnerroulette.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/hybrid-v3-general-schedule-jaa.html
Old wireless: Player 2 gets prediction at +1000ms, and players 3, 4, 5+ get predictions at +2500ms.
New wireless: All secondary players get prediction at about +100ms. So after the ball and rotor speed is measured, all players will have prediction within 100ms. This is a huge difference.
Additionally, the new wireless has further improvements in keeping the signal undetectable. Previously it was virtually impossible to detect the signal even if you had this guy behind you the whole time:
Now it doesn't appear possible at all, which makes this guy unhappy:
While casinos are still generally behind on wireless detection, there's not a lot additional technology can do for them to detect the more advanced computers, because the emissions blend in very well.
As I have mentioned previously, the reason the wireless part has taken so long is because we aren't dealing with something simplistic like bluetooth. Some of my computer versions do use bluetooth protocols, but the equipment itself is not the same as typical commercial components. The worst (most detectable) form of wireless possible is wireless video from something like a baby monitor or typical wireless camera, because the signal is not encrypted, and even if it is, it is still a strong signal and it's easy to know what it is. The next worse is any kind of "constant" radio signal, like a bluetooth muse or wireless headset, like ones used by some roulette computers. The transmissions may be encrypted, but are basically a radio beacon giving a constant signal. The V3 uses common frequencies in a way that could be mistaken for radio chatter from the big bang.
Overall I'm very happy with the developments, especially regarding the minimal delay for predictions. Now the new wireless needs to be implemented into the software which will take around a week, then I can continue to do full testing on live wheels. It is hard to say when it will be ready for release – it can be used right now with the old wireless, but more testing is needed and the advantages of the new wireless are significant.
On another note, I'm moving all resources and articles to the http://www.roulettetraining.com site, otherwise genuinewinner.com will become too cluttered.
