Post by thread:[EE]: Re: Re: Eyeball optics

( I got off the [OT] list year after 9/11 - some really disturbing posts back then. :-( ) Looks like EmbedInc got short changed in this article: (link from newscanner.com site) www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/business/columnists/bea_garcia/3101174. htm "As he finally developed it, the Eyeball, one or several, can be programmed from any computer. Linked by phone line to a controller, the Eyeballs can be programmed via the Internet. The controller is manufactured for Newscanner by a company in Israel." I didn't follow the propellor clock thread enough to venture a guess at this. 1. What's rotating - just the LEDs or is there a PIC on the rotating part? 2. Are slip rings sufficient at that speed to transmit data over or it power only? Thanks again for the link to the newscanner site! chuckc {Original Message removed}

Our job is to design something and stay in the "back room". The customer is welcome to present this any way they want. We just want to get paid. However, there are some misleading statements in that article. Norm Geppert did have the original idea, but he is not CEO and did not design it. Note that the article took everything he said at face value. He's a sales guy, need I say more? I also don't know where this manufacturing in Israel came from. The article correctly stated at the top that they are being manufactured in Belchertown Massachusetts. I was at the factory yesterday and can assure that is correct. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
