"L" in this table means "ON" and the LEDs or signal lines are otherwise OFF. Until last night we had three LEDs all hooked up to the charging IC, giving the remote a total of 6 LEDs. However because the placement of these LEDs is severely restricted due to the number of components already on board, they ended up being lined up in the middle of the remote with unpleasant aesthetic results.

The new PCB has been approved by the PCBA company for automated assembly; therefore we will submit the design for production.

Delivered current is lower and lower voltage, motor vibration is reduced, until eventually a pulse delivery attempt just resets the device, an indication that the battery must be replaced.

2010-05-19 23:53:57 (5262 views) After going ahead and shelling out yet more cash to mold metal pieces to be attached to the motors, so as to make Mr Tang's job simpler (he already messed up 70 motors and we still don't have a good, clean and professional outcome), now the company that welds the metallic bits to the motors used such a pressure and temperature that they melted the motors and the metal bit together and the two are damaged and looking real bad - the 10 test motors probably got damaged in the process, but it's useless to even test them because the amount of molten metal on the bottom will create problems for the mold.
Today Jason learned for the first time that Mr Tang has already consumed 70 of our rare motors (maybe 75). He said from now on he will manage this himself, which is really good news because he is the only person in China who has consistently solved problems and never lied.
In the meantime, we already waited 24 hours for the assembly house to OK our new remote control design, and now they're saying it has a problem, but won't say what, and we're again waiting.

2010-05-18 23:47:11 (4506 views) May 18th, 2010: the date the first Male Management Company was created. Write that on the history books! Or better, on Wikipedia.
We're waiting for official documentation and we will then proceed to open our corporate bank account. With that done we will apply for payment processing. THEN we will finally be able to operate our business.
