DM41X user manual - pinkman - 05-22-2020 06:51 AM
Hi,
I know it’s part of the SwissMicros site, but I would like to highlight the quality of the work done on the user manual of the (future) DM41X.
Robert Prosperi and Ángel M Martin are credited as contributors, not only for the manual of course, many thanks to them.
I was wondering if I would buy a DM41X, now that I’ve read the manual I’m only wondering how I could wait for the official release probably in Q3 this year...!
The link to the manual: https://www.swissmicros.com/dm41x/doc/dm41x_user_manual/
Regards,
Thibault

Thanks for your kind words, but David Jedelsky, SwissMicros' programmer (and the "D" of the DM-41X, DM42, etc.) deserves the credit, producing great documentation as well as great software, a rare combination in my experience (though Angel clearly must be mentioned in this context as well, for his amazing modules). But fear not, David does admit to liking working on software more than writing manuals...
Unfortunately, the BETA DM41X units have all been purchased and are no longer available; the next units will be coming in Q3. You can sign-up to be notified when they will be available here:

Nice to have all the people credited, thanks.
D for David, and I guess M for Mikael? Great mystery unveiled!
So I’ll wait next quarter, I still can play/work with my other toys/tools.

No mistery, actually. ;)

It's odd but after I enter my email and the system is satisfied I'm not a robot, the SUBSCRIBE button is dead to the world.
Tried using Firefox and Opera, no luck. Anybody have luck signing up?
Thanks for posting the doc links!

That happened to me as well. So I can’t tell if I’m subscribed.

I see what you mean... checking with Michael....
I entered an address and he'll confirm it was received and added to the list, and will confirm so here once I hear back. I suspect it is being properly sent, and simply not acknowledged, but will let you know.

The tool to add your email to the 41X notify list has been fixed.
Note that this sign-up is now for all new SwissMicros model announcements.
https://www.swissmicros.com/models.php#signup
Everyone interested should please re-enter their email address on that page, just to be sure you are notified. Prior submissions should be intact, but it's impossible to know for sure if any were missed, so best to re-enter.
Thanks again to HP67 and smartin for pointing this out.
RE: DM41X user manual - HP67 - 05-27-2020 06:37 PM
Thank you, Bob
I have been on their list(s) for a long time, bought several calcluators, and never received a single mail except from Michael!

Exactly the kind of problem this is trying to fix...

Click the "SUBSCRIBE" button.
An indeterminate progress indicator appears, and spins with no apparent subsequent action.

Confirmed using FireFox on Windows, but Edge (Chromium) on Windows is OK.
If you have Edge or Chrome, try again with those, meanwhile I'll report it.
Thanks for the report.

Worked fine with Brave.

And Opera, too, among the rest.
RE: DM41X user manual - rprosperi - 05-30-2020 03:42 PM
Trying again just now with FireFox, it worked fine, so maybe it's fixed, or maybe something transient. But will still report it to check.

Working with FF too now. Apparent funkiness with the stupid reCAPTCHA thing fixed.

Yes, I've concluded it was something with the CAPTCHA tool; it's been file all day now.
