We're just finishing up the latest hardware version and then we will need some testers.

Early prototyping:

Sign me up as a tester! I was just about to go out and invent a controller for myself. I am currently using a typon controller on my DIY set up but I find it too limited. I'd love to help you guys out where I can (I am an engineer and product design)

Looks interesting! Does it deal with the meanwell drivers that domt go below 10%?

Cost?

How are you selecting testers?

I believe this is part of the driver functionality, and not related to the control signal being fed into the driver.

Cost is to be determined, but likely between $130-$150.

We don't have any specific criteria for testers yet, as we're not quite at that stage. Having an appropriate light setup to test the controller with would be a good start!

Here's my DIY LEDs, the biggest build that I have seen on here thus far. Would be willing to test it out on these.

I am in the process of ordering an LED setup for my tank. Would love to be a test subject. I am especially interested in being able to control my lights from my iPhone.
Let me know if you still need testers.
If not do you have a more precise estimate as to when its coming to market?
