Starting from around 12th November, I’ll be better able to assist in sessions. It would be earlier normally, but I’ll be away until mid next week, and need to do some final testing when back.
Still don’t book sessions with me involved until I’ve confirmed everything is fully tested. This should be by the end of next week. None of the remaining tests are difficult or time consuming, but they still need to be done.
REMOTE HYBRID: Except for one part, the Hybrid mod is complete and working even better than we expected, once we implemented the precision timer component. Also users will find setup signficantly easier because the ball detection algorithms are muich more selective about what it considers the ball. This means it’s much harder to get false detections. The last part is just adding a part that we’ve already coded. Last time we did such an integration it only took about 45 minutes.
REMOTE UBER: Players can request server access anytime, but after the last remote hybrid part is done, then some final adjustments for the Remote Uber will be done, as mentioned previously.
The work took a lot longer than expected because the source code is exstensive, and the programmer needed to work on it very carefully to avoid affecting other parts.
GENERAL SCHEDULE: I’ll be away for a few days so can’t test until around mid next week. But all the major testing is already done. For the hybrid, all that’s left is testing the code integration, which is relatively easy testing. This should be comfortably done before the end of next week.
The Remote Uber mods are only minor, but it’s difficult to test and work while I’m away. The programmer needs me to assist with some testing, so we’re delayed a few days while I’m away. But there’s very little left to do, and if everything is not done before the end of next week, it wont be long after.
The instructions are basicaly a modified version of the Remote Hybrid instructions. It will be another day or so before they’re complete and available.
Some of the Remote Uber phone apps will be modified, so less equipment is needed. But before these mods, the programmer needs to complete other unrelated tasks I’ve requested.
Before the end of this week, Remote Uber players will receive the instructions.
This will at least get everyone started. Then after the app mods are done, I’ll edit the instructions to reflect the changes.
The expected timeline is:
* 2 days to complete instructions for surrent version
* 1-2 weeks for programmer to complete other tasks
*1-2 weeks to modify the Remote Uber apps
* 3 days to edit the instructions to reflect the app mods
Everything is already functional so the Remote Uber can be used, but the mods are worthwhile improvements.
I’ve been doing lots of testing on some updates so many things I hoped to get done this week haven’t been done. At least there are only a few issues remaining before the updates are made available. At the current rate of progress, the updated Hybrid, and the Remote Uber, should be available for use in around a week. But it’s more conservative to say 1-2 weeks.
