General Updates

I've received more emails than expected over this period, but again I'm on vacation and barely have internet access as it is. I wont be able to do any emails until about 2nd January. But I'll do urgent codes after sending this update.
 
Hybrid V3: programmers are continuing work over this period. I expect in the second week of January I'll have a complete V3 to test in entirety (minus usual bugs etc). That's just estimating based on current progress. So it is fair to say we should have full completion by end of January.
 
JAA updates: The latest updates are almost completed to the point where I can test. Again these are very important updates that will automate a part so players need to know even less to succeed.
 
Many people are emailing me multiple times as if my lack of response is a problem. Please keep in mind the time of year. It is going to be one very busy January but a very productive one.

Away from Dec 24th - Jan 2nd

I've responded to all urgent emails and code requests. Just a reminder I'll be away Dec 24th - Jan 2nd. I may check emails during this period although only briefly if at all. Everyone have a merry Christmas and happy new years.

Uber Update and Holiday Schedule

The minor issue previously mentioned is fixed, but I now need to test everything. This will take a full day at least, but I may not be returning to work until early January, besides occasionally checking emails etc.
 
From now until early January, please do not expect a response, although I'll still do emails if I have time. However I'll still of course do access codes.

JAA Updates

Work has started on more JAA updates. This next one is particularly important and is the last major step for complete automation. After this, we'll do the integration with the spin collection software (for mobile phones). The estimated time for completion for this current part is 1.5 weeks but because of the time of year it will probably be around early January.

Uber roulette computer

The programmer is stuck on one of the bugs. It is an incredibly minor bug but he needs to discuss it with me first to help him find it. I don't think I'll be able to do shipping this side of Xmas. It is still possible – I'll be speaking with the programmer today to assist.
 
If the world ends tomorrow, there may be an additional delay.

Uber update

Everything except one minor bug is fixed, and it will be fixed shortly. Then I'll do a full test to check everything. When something is changed, everything must be tested again. It is not as simple as just testing the affected parts, because a minor change to the source code can affect other parts. This is painfully tedious testing, so please be patient and understand it is necessary.

Hybrid V3

I've just tested the latest version the the Hybrid V3. The updates had nothing to do with improving accuracy – they were more of a practicality thing to be easier for real casino conditions. It made it easier to do more testing against live spins from my wheel. Basically the accuracy has worked out even better than I hoped for. Reliability under normal conditions is perfect.
 
When the camera wearer is moving around a lot, I can see some room for improvement but it is not essential and can be done later. As for the final part before it can all be used, this is now about 30-50% complete. The programmers are still working on it together.
