If you could do one that said 'ZIPP' or 'LIGHTWEIGHT', I would be so in.

'ZIPP' text? must be easy..

Here you are! ZIPP spinner 4 Alfie lib

Awesome!

:) that was easy

There were a lot of anonymous patterns for Maxi (some of them by whatok, he-he), so I've organized them into libs - for non-twitterers, who cannot login on site and create a library - all here (ledus wheelus public libraries)

Thanks for your orders, hope the delivery is quick!

Yeah sorry I get carried away. Did some brands the other night.

Yup, I saw!

A bit of project news. Was experimenting with different coatings recently - nitrocellulose, alkyd-urethane, polyurethane lacquer, 2-component epoxy, silicon and hot-melt adhesives (+couple more coming). As a result, the microprocessor unit on all Ledus Wheelus devices got a transparent 0.2-0.4mm polyurethane coating. Maxi-s, that were on sale this week already have it.

IMHO, extra durability isn't a bad thing. Especially for the bike parts :)

hmm.. i've got an idea!

Is it spring already?

Ha!

Anyone got any ideas how to get one of these to work with Linux (Ubuntu in my case)?

Khornight2: Adobe discontinued AIR support for Linux (why?) => so we build Ledus Wheelus app for Win and Mac at the moment. Yup, needz AIR.
Try VirtualBox in Ubuntu - must work there.

Please tell me you're getting more stock. I NEED THESE.

And how much do they cost?

Miso Soup: Maxi devices expected next week, Mini - March 11-12 - I hope. Drop me a note pls, I'll add you to the notification list (email is in the bottom here). Thanks!

Okay, few more drawings - Angry Birds theme preview! (hidden pig, hehe :)

Holla everyone, howdy? Wanna share some project news:

1. Designed a better package for the Maxi lights, old envelopes were kinda utilitarian and a bit dull, right? So we replaced them with this box:
   
   

2. Yup, includes a mini-usb cable.

3. Old black-and-white quick user's guide replaced with a bigger colour user's manual. The most frequent questions I received from the customers covered there – now it's not only for geeks but for normal people as well :)
   

4. Added few more things inside a box, but that's a surprise, hehe ;)

It's difficult to make everything at once (and users' feature requests too), but step by step the product is getting better, which is nice.
Thanks for your orders, feedback and support – this helps to keep improving!
More news about the Mini lights coming.

Great new packaging!

The last couple of days I've noticed my light cutting out while i'm riding, I think it's from the cold, as it always turns on again with no problems once the bike is indoors. Has anyone else had this problem?

I get a corrosive build up on the positive end battery connector which causes it to cut every so often on a bump. Less so since I started removing the battery overnight and wiping the +ve connector on the unit every week or two (no special tools required, just use an old waitrose receipt, everyone has one in their pocket somewhere).

Doctor Cake: Low batt or battery freezes outside and voltage drops. That's collllld.
Ah, glad you liked the new packaging, designed by me ;) And I used some of the public user's images to create it.

Ramaye: Yep, cleaning from time to time is a useful tip. That's not only a usb gadget but a bike part, right. A bit of attention and it will put a smile on your face longer.

Okay, few more things to show:
Oppan Gangnam Style theme for Maxi. Op op op op

+Refreshed a Maxi Default lib - space invaders now pre-uploaded and also it includes some of your images. Woo!

Hi there!
Couple of pics of new improved Ledus Wheelus Mini lights (March 2013 version):
+New packaging, similar to the Maxi lights, usb cable included
+User's guide replaced with a bigger color user's manual
+Touch sensitive 'Off' area removed completely. Now 'Power' button both switches the unit on and off by click - rewired it the same way it's done on Maxi

ooh I like the sound of these new improved chaps... I don't suppose you offer any upgrade package?

These are my test mini-s

+In action - adapted few Maxi patterns for the Mini light - LFGSS chevrons and red jump flash thing by Ramaye :)

3rd must be a Dutch flag colors, hmm..

hoefla: quite difficult to offer free hardware upgrades :) but the software is getting better - for free.
But if you'll be ordering some day again, I'll give you a discount coupon of course - as an early last year tester :)
Just drop me an email, please.

My mini's turn off after a while if I go over a bump or something, and they've got the upgraded battery holder, any fixes?

alasdairw: hey! old devices can sometimes switch off because the water gets onto the touch-sensitive 'Off' area or onto the microchip - if you're riding in rain/snow/other terrible conditions - discussed that few pages earlier this thread. We've made a software in which touch-buttons sensitivity can be reduced or disabled fully - so they will not react on water touches. Email me if you need more details, please.

+On new units there's no touch 'Off' button at all, so the water will not switch them off
+Added a transparent polyurethane coating for the microchip - kinda waterproof shell for extra durability.
There is no limit to perfection, but we trying to make improvements and the product itself better. Tnx.

^^^ cheers, will do :)
