I and my colleague are going to exhibit at SPS IPC DRIVES on 26. – 28.11.2013 at Nuremberg, Germany. This is the very first time we go out for such event as exhibitor.

The Argon offer available from our booth! The banner says Open Source firmware, which is planned to be release right after the exhibition.

I warmly welcome everyone to visit the greatest automation fair SPS IPC DRIVES with a free entry voucher. To register as visitor, use Granite Devices voucher code 130748463 at www.mesago.com/sps/tickets. Trust me, there’s tons of amazing stuff to see and one full day is hardly enough to walk trough it.

Two more days left on introductory pricing of Argon. When it’s gone, it’s gone!

On the other news, we’re today shipping the very first batch of products to a warehouse service located in London where they pack & ship the products around the world. This yields more consistent shipping response time, faster delivery method and reduced shipping cost at the same time!

The fulfilment service has warehouses also in the US and Hong Kong where we may expand stocking later on. This would enable very low shipping cost and freeing from customs hassle from the US or Asian customer point of view. The service soon opens new warehouses also in Germany and Australia which makes things even better!

I’m currently working on a Argon firmware update that has significance to most of users. It should be ready until Friday. Stay tuned!

Granity got updated, already! Many of it’s new features are inspired by an excellent user feedback. The changes are:

• Set Abs and Set Inc buttons to change setpoint manually
• Display list of all parameters together with graphs – becomes useful when saving graphs as the list of parameters gets included in the file as well
• Safe Torque Off status is now displayed

Granity 1.0.1 with more information and control

Keep the feedback & ideas coming! Fixing the found issues and making important improvements is the first priority for us.

I made work-in-progress preview version of Granity available for download so one can already take a look around it and perhaps even provide some initial feelings about it! I also added a new poll about how you would like the software to be distributed.

The preview version is able to connect to a drive but will not change drive settings, just yet
