Actually, the first batch of MX-980s are out the door already. We're making a couple of important changes to the software which should be ready very soon. At that time we'll post the MX-980 editor on URC Control Room.

Best regards,
Dale

If there was a date marked on the calendar, I'd tell you. Unfortunately, it's a software engineering issue. When unanticipated issues come up (as they always do in software development), any time-to-completion estimate is just a guess until you've identified the issue and all of its ramifications. Then most of the time, the solution is a few lines of code that gets whipped out in an hour. So I hate to be snarky, but if tradition holds true, it'll be released about an hour after the engineers are confident they've identified the issue and how it affects the rest of the software.

Best regards,
Dale

Lunch time has come.

MX-980 is shipping, and MX-980 Editor is now available for download on URC Control Room.

Best regards,
Dale

My congrats to you and the team as well, Dale! I know this was a long road, and I'm glad you were able to finish up before the holidays. Turkey sandwiches in the office just aren't quite the same thing. ;-)

4pt button lock means you have to move the button 4 points (pixels) before it moves the button. It is to help from accidently moving buttons when you are just selecting it.

Ps. Is the 980 part of control suite yet?
