Hi, What wonderful development, the QIMSI GOLD has more features than I would ever dreamed about. Unfortuneatley, I can not attend public launch of QIMSI GOLD, due now being a full time carer for an elderly relative, which taking most of my time every day of the week.

I received an email PDF version of the Quanta last night

Hi,

Great news, let know how I can support the project.

Hi Finally got the Simulant WiFi modem setup on the Q68. I configured the modem to connect at 9600 Baud. I used BAUD 9600 to set the serial port speed the same as the modem.
