Gen 3B regualtors ready to ship!

The new batch is in, tested, flashed, and almost ready to ship!  All per-ordered units will be sent out the week of July 29th - once I get them confirmal coated.

Thank you all to those who waited SO long for this next batch; for follow on orders will be taking steps to try to reduce any potential delays.  And with the 3B regulators now available to ship the special per-order pricing will come to an end on August 10th.  In case anyone is interested. . .

Over the next month be looking for that simple 2" Dash Display to become available, as well as a per-machined plastic case for the 3B regulators design.  Plus (I hope) even more news this winter.  Already hear of a larger display in the works, and of course the App being worked on by Rick Bell (See link on hope page of this Blog).  2018 looks to be a good year for the VSR Alternator Regulator, with a lot happening around it.   2019 should be even better! 

And a Thank You to all who have contributed and support this effort over the years - 6 year now  (8 if I go back to the parent DC Generator Controller effort where this all started).    And an interesting thought: using David A. Wheeler's 'SLOCCount' tool the VSR Alternator Regulator represents over 18,000 lines of C/C++ code, 4+ Man-years of development effort with a development cost exceeding $500,000  -- proving you could find programmers for $50K a year.  And that is just the software side!

Firmware v1.3.1 released

Firmware version 1.3.1 has been released.  It is posted both in Source code and per-compiled binary in Github.  Remember, there is a simple to use (Windows only, sorry) update utility under the 'alt-Binary' link:


https://github.com/AlternatorRegulator/alt-Binary

The three major changes for this release include:

• Improved load-dump handing - Regulator less likely to pull back 100% after major load removal.
• Better support for OSEnergy Dash Display
• Some feedback for dual alts.
   

Along with the above there continues to be edits and code shifting to allow for common source code reuse among different projects current under development.  Expect more in this area as other projects progress, and also to tidy things up.
