FireCat Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 How do I get on this list? @Finn. You are on. I'm on the list. Will the instructions how to order be placed in this thread? @wolle. Keep checking the post for instructions from MilesD. Cheers FireCat.
MilesD Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Count me in too! Guppy, Great Pit, the whole feel of the room is very zen, I felt calm and enlightened just looking at pictures of it. Do you have jet fuel scented candles burning out of frame. But seriously, I can't let my wife see that or she will say "why can't your pit area look like Guppy's" So are these in the process of shipping then? Also any estimate on how many per week/month will ship? I just checked tracking and the latest revision of the PCBs should be here Monday. I am concerned though, because the size of the package can’t include the solder past stencil required for scaled production. I am using an in-house (literally) re-flow oven and implementing the pick and place machine. Even without the pick and place, it’s still a short cycle for PCB production. The bottleneck is 3d printing of the enclosures, but I am addressing that. I am concerned about Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ, term for you Six Sigma guys), especially with the international market, so international shipments will be slightly delayed until local customers have confirmed product satisfaction. Thanks Harlikwin This will be a small revolution in VR gaming for DCS in my view. Really great work Miles. Thanks hakjar, I don’t know if I would go that far, but it does simplify cockpit interaction. Joe S, who has a prototype had a great way of summing it in one sentence, but I can’t remember how he put it. No pressure, but I am looking at you Joe. After working through this list, I really can’t see more than 3 or 4 orders a per week for PointCTRL. I plan on fixed monitor implementation PointCTRL after this. I'm on the list. Will the instructions how to order be placed in this thread? Hi Wolle, I will have instructions, videos and online purchase on the web site and posted here. I just want to keep this within this community first, which is why I have not updated the web page and why I have put my efforts here instead. I know it does not make business sense but that is not my focus. Here is the link to the post with a PDF start of the instructions ( a whole page just to turn the damn thing on). https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3823202&postcount=495 Thanks everyone for your patience, Miles Edited March 9, 2019 by MilesD Now shipping up to website Pre-Order Form date 2022/11/15 Pre-Order Form Submission https://pointctrl.com/preorder-form/ PointCTRL Support Discord https://discord.gg/jH5FktJ PintCTRL Website https://pointctrl.com/
Fusedspine33 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Miles, your time to bring this forward has been extremely fast and you are doing this on the side. You have been amazingly transparent in communicating milestones and set backs as this product has gone thru development. A lot can be learned from you by some of the “leaders” in this industry. Two years we have been waiting for an add-on stick from a certain company which refuses to communicate with their customer base. Bravo to you, I am sure you see the goal post now and are looking forward to finishing it off and getting them out the door as we are to get them. Thank you!

FoxDelta Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 looking forward to get this great device, i guess there are several people on that list owning a 3d printer themselves. i would be completly fine printing the enclosures myself if u are willing to ship without my projects: https://www.sim-addons.com/ https://www.shapeways.com/shops/sim-addons-1 AV8B nozzle lever https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=233670 F18C fingerlifts https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234747 F18C radar elevation https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=248080

joca133 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I agree, and I think there will be a gloveless solution also. Essential a really good Leap Motion. Which I am surprised has not advanced. The first prototypes of PointCTRL tracked finger motion with a gyro and accelerometers as well as XY position with the same HMS sensor we now use. It read whether you moved you finger up, down, forward and backward. Down, Forward, or Backward = left click, Up = right click. The sensing worked well, but their was just something missing when you moved your finger in mid air. The tactile feel of the real button really made it feel right. I guess the ultimate solution could be gloves that squeezed your fingertips when you touched something. Capto-glove is doing some really cool stuff with heat sensing. Just some thoughts Miles Yes, future is full of possibilities. When big developers decide on the technology, I am sure it will be amazing. Until then, PointCTRL is here, and it looks amazing too. Leap Motion I used for about three weeks and returned. It works, with accurate hand movements digitalization and tracking, but had no interface with any software I used. Also, the camera was of terrible resolution. If it had a better camera I would have kept it just to be able to check my surroundings and use a real keyboard whith VR on. An IR camera like that of the Leap, activated by a simple head movement is awesome and Oculus Rift certainly lacks a camera. Looking forward for your solution, Miles :thumbup:.
