"Altro"- Dynatorch Version 4
Software engineering is busy with the next generation controller.
Code named "Altro" version 4 is currently under construction.
Stay tuned, sneak previews will be updated here,
Beta testing begins ???? 2007
UPDATE* (May 2006) Hardware issues have delayed the release of version 4. The software development is continuing but until the hardware issues are solved, version 4 cannot be released. We will be adding some of the software upgrades, meant for version 4 to version 3. Once the hardware issues are solved, version 4 will be ready for BETA testing.
UPDATE* (October 2006) It appears the hardware (the servo motors) could be improved in late 2007, but will limit the version 4 release to this new motor. This will mean that current users would have to upgrade their motors in order to use version 4. We do not like this option. Therefore we are continuing to add features to version 3. It's tough when technology updates and it's not backwards compatible. We will continue to keep you informed as well as continue to update version 3.
UPDATE* (December 2006) It appears the hardware (the servo motors) will be available in early 2009. So it could be that by April or May of 2007, we have a new version 4 available. We will continue to keep you informed as well as continue to update version 3.
