Ok product. Your identity or privacy may be at risk.

Just received the goods. Went to download the documentation. The only way to do this is to sign up with Facebook, Google, or email. This means they may have personal information about you and your email address and then share it with others. I'm having trouble downloading ZIP files from my Chromebook. (OT: That 5 year software license has expired.) When I tried this on Windows, the only problem I had was that I had to unzip allfiles.zip before I could install the libraries. I uploaded a sample alarm clock. All of the B segments were lit and brighter than the other segments on both devices I purchased. The 4 digit build specs said segment B was driven from pin 6. Looking at this pin I saw that it touched the outer shell of the USB connector. Removing the shield from the base solved the problem a bit for a short time. I ended up attaching the post-it bookmark to the USB case. Inlay and body are almost the same width. This solved the problem in the long run and explains the header extensions. I had two problems compiling the example: First, the footers came with the code and I had to remove them manually. Second, the indents were lost. So far I have found the product and its creators to be intelligent, valuable and creative. If they can overcome quality control and privacy issues, they could have a bright future. I added 1 start to the previous 2. Update: I found a YouTube video describing the same issue with segment B and a similar solution. Obviously these people were copying other people's specs.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • A long time ago
