Bryan Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 I want to give everyone an update: I have been working full-time on renovating my house to sell. As many of you know, my wife and I spent 3 1/2 years in Costa Rica and I had a large freelance job lined up that I thought would provide income while we were there. Well, it kinda fizzled due to a lack of interest from the other party and when my wife and I moved back, we were deeply in debt. I bought a cheap fixer-upper house in Michigan so my wife could take care of her mother with advanced diabetes. At first, we were going to live here and slowly work off our debts, but with the rising real estate market combined with a generous offer to live cheaply with friends, it has become important to finish up my repairs and sell the house ASAP for a fresh start. To this end I've been living in a construction zone and maxing out my credit cards to get the work finished and I hope I'm in my final month of this gigantic task (this house was cute, but completely trashed in every way). I'm shipping out current orders as I can make the time, and I hope to resume development of future products as soon as I get my lab set up again somewhere else. I know I still have PMs to answer and I'll fill as many remaining orders as I can, but I'm not planning on ordering any more boards until next year. I just wanted to explain why I dropped out of sight for a little while. -Bryan 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective, those are much more important than hobby stuff. Take your time with my PM; you have much more important stuff going on, and I'm perfectly content to wait 'til you get caught up with others and have more time to devote to fun stuff again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got a chance to openly thank you for your courteous help a while back and for making such a wonderful product. Thank you again good sir!

dakidski Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Finally got mine installed in the 130XE. Thanks for a wonderful product Bryan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarland Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Bryan thanks for the update. I hope very much things work out well with your house and life situation! I would like some more as well, please. No rush. Next year is fine. Would you please add some form of brightness adjust on the UAV for a future run? For all my 3 UAV-D's the image is much darker than all of my stock machines. I'm forced to max the brightness settings on the Dell 2007WP screens to use the UAV-D machines. That would be fine except that going back to stock machines I need to use the terrible/clunky menus in the monitors to drop back to regular brightness/contrast settings.

That would be fine except that going back to stock machines I need to use the terrible/clunky menus in the monitors to drop back to regular brightness/contrast settings. The UAV puts out the correct peak-to-peak video level of 1V, which is the industry standard rating. example The UAV takes the horribly inconsistent video of the 8-Bit series, and finally makes it right. Sure you could boost the UAV's output via a brightness control to make it match with whatever X,Y,Z Atari system's stock video output you are using as a reference. But you would be tweaking it from the wrong end in my opinion, and be far better off to install UAV's in all of your systems, or possibly do one of the alternative DIY video fixes such as ClearPic to bring it more inline. My main point is that there is nothing wrong with the UAV in it's present form. But there is something very wrong with the video in nearly every A8 system made following the 800. Probably everytime the engineers began working on the video circuits, they took a toke off of a big fat joint . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakidski Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 And installed in my 800 XL, which took MUCH longer to do than the 130 XE. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazWhite Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hi Bryan When things have settled in your personal life - I would very much like to order one of these for my poor ailing Atari 400 unit. Please let me know info regarding payment etc... Many Thanks & Good Luck Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hueyjones70 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I am in the process of installing a UAV in a 130XE for the first time. Do I need to solder the wires to the ferrite beads or can I remove the beads and solder the wires in the back holes (nearest the monitor jack)?

_The Doctor__ Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 having the signal go through the beads only helps, but plenty have bypassed them... I would keep them in line personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hueyjones70 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Does anyone have pictures of their 130XE installation? I have finished mine and I get only black & white. I did connect the color wire from GTIA pin 21 to slot 6 on the UAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hueyjones70 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The 130XE install is no longer a problem, I just ran the chroma wire to the DIN connector. I couldn't get chroma using the connections referred to in the instructions. It may be due to some of the other mods I have done on that computer. Why not just run Luna, chroma, and composite directly to the DIN connector? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 As long as things are disconnected from the 'legacy' circuit on the system side. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
