"After spending a couple of years working on a wireless module, I'm very happy to announce the next generation AudioCubes.
You can now use 16 cubes wirelessly within a 30-50ft range without having to connect them with a cable regardless of how you use them (sensor, sender, receiver or topology). One cube acts as the wireless base station and stays connected with a cable.
The difference compared to the previous generation audiocubes is profound:
- Very high reliability and robustness of communication through custom designed and optimized wireless protocol
- Very fast boot up
- No loss in sensor resolution and great LED RGB data rate and response
- Freedom to move around with your cubes
- More cube interaction
- More potential use cases
- Easier to set up and less to remember
As from now, we'll only release new software applications for the wireless cubes, and we'll stop supporting software applications for the previous generation audiocubes."
The old ones were pretty damn expensive for Percussa to decide they're just going to stop supporting them.
ReplyDeleteI like how you need to register on their site just to see how much these new ones cost. Complete with email verification. To save everyone else the hassle, I did just that. Here are the prices:
4 audiocubes = 700 US dollars + 80 US dollars shipping
8 audiocubes = 1400 US dollars + free shipping
12 audiocubes = 2100 US dollars + free shipping
16 audiocubes = 2800 US dollars + free shipping
LOL! Wow... Well at least you get free shipping if you give them $1,400.
