Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer
This I could probably do when the time comes.
What Albert said, not so much.:shakehead
To be honest, I think Albert is practising some sort of obfuscation technique. lol
Albert, it is not as complicated as you are making things out to be. For one, the reason Intel is not updating USB 3.0 drivers is because Microsoft is including all that stuff in the modern OS'es. The reason Intel and the such had to bring out USB 3.0 drivers in the first place was that the USB 3.0 standard wasn't fully ratified by the time they brought the hardware and Intel et al ended up having to support their own implementations of the USB 3.0 hardware, hence why the problems were mostly localized to the early versions of chipsets supporting USB 3.0.
For those concerned about updating firmware, don't be concerned. When the time comes and SkyRC release the firmware then we'll know what will be required and I doubt very much that it will be a complicated process requiring some outdated Operating Systems and exotic cables.
USB cables - if you have any Micro USB data cable around or under a metre long and it came from a reliable source (Samsung, Canon, Logitech, etc.) then you will more than likely be fine. The problem cables are the cheap and nasty stuff that only contain a strand or two of copper. There are plenty of the rubbish ones about, even the ones that cost more than $1/£1/€1, that's why if you use a reliably sourced third party cable you will be fine. The reputable companies do not supply rubbish cables because it's too much of a support headache and ends up costing more than they save on a cheap cable.
