why not just delete the spam posts so they don't show up to the rest of us as new posts?

You will need to buy an Ethernet to DMX adapter. Prices and current/future models can be found in earlier posts. |

After reading through all these I have come to the following concussion. When the new version of Aurora (v2.0) is released it is geared toward DMX protocol. In order to use my 25+ D-Light controllers & firefli with the new software (in DMX mode), I will have to buy new chips for all the controllers and a D-light DMX adapter. Using my controllers (not in DMX mode, but in the D-Light protocol) it will work, but WON'T fix any of the sticking channel problems or be compatible with the D-light ACx16 v1.19 firmware? Am I correct with this understanding? |

^^^^^Exactly my thoughts. My version of Aurora is stable enough for me at the moment. I just want a faster copy and paste to help me do my sequencing. I don't want a program that does it all for me, just one that lets me do what I know I can do at a fashionable pace.

Michael, To me it is more than obvious that your priorities should be:
9. Your development of Aurora In regards to the development of Aurora I think you should move forward to produce a new product that will be stable and then work on features the users are asking for beyond the core features. As far as the 1.x development goes if it is possible to put out a semi stable version without DMX that isn't going to require a large investment of time do so. Another option is to maybe partner up with another software out there such as X-lights which is a stable show playing system allowing you to concentrate on the sequencer part of the program OR go to a collaborative effort in which you would no longer be charging for the software but it would free your time up to do other paying projects... Ultimately what ever you decide to do I appreciate your efforts to date and support whatever you decide to and I am sure many others do too.

Thank you Michael for clarifying some things.
All I ever wanted was this damn copy and paste. Do I care that my setup starts on it's own at midnight? Not really since it just looks pretty and no music. Don't you have a fairly working beta copy of the copy and paste that could be sold, rented or whatever, to those who like me, don't give 2 cents to DMX? I understand that sometimes stuff might get crashing but we all work on copies of copies, don't we? If I'm able to copy and paste much faster, then half the work is right there: waiting for it to finish. Most of the time, I would just reset the damn thing and start over. I betya most users of your software are like me, happy to have what they got. No software in this world is perfect. If it is, why are there so many updates/patches and so on? I am willing to pay for a copy and paste version if this is possible. I'm sure I'm not the only one and yes, I would assume the responsibility of crashing my own setup since I'm the one harassing you in trying to get a workable copy. And last and probably the most important of all this post, I hope your mom is feeling better. BigDPS |

Michael,
I think you should just call this next DMX version "Aurora 2.0" and charge us for it. This will give you some income and hopefully allow you to work on it more. I am willing to pay $300 if it works great. I will convert my all of my controllers to DMX, if I can get some software that gives me all options that I have now with the D-light protocol.

If anyone has a better idea I'm all ears, but until then y'all are aware of the reality of the situation and why we are burning bridges to move forward.
