#VIEWLOADER REVOLUTION XBOARD TRIAL#

Seems to me that they produced numbers AFTER the board was made, and did NOTHING before it was made.

#VIEWLOADER REVOLUTION XBOARD TRIAL#

All they have is a SINGLE trial in which they mention average feed rates. I don't see them showing any normal distribution curves, probability density function graphs, Poisson distributions. They would need to have collected data to program formulas based from the data into the chip for max output.

Let's assume their hardware could actually do what they claim. did I mention HUGE? using the 12C508A's instruction set.

You think this is big for just adding two numbers? This was done with the powerful Intel x86 instruction set. (This isn't one of mine, I can't find it) Nobody should ever have to do this unless they are being punished for lechery or given an exorbitant amount of money. Well, I actually wrote a program like this on the x86. Ok, let's say you were to give it the ability to process floating point numbers by using a scheme to represent them with integers. Guess what? The 12C508A does not deal with floating point numbers, only integers (whole numbers). This also makes me think about what kind of numbers we're dealing with here - numbers with stuff following the decimal place. Now, these buzz words: speed, torque, spin duration, maximum possible - make me think of rotational kinematics, calculus, and statistical analysis. '.the TurboRev's computer monitors the feed rate and adjusts the agitator motor's speed, torque, and spin duration to increase the feed rate to the maximum possible.' With this in mind - it makes you wonder where they put the 'artificial intelligence software.' Remember, this chip only has room for 512 instructions. Lets say you wanted to simply multiply a list of numbers together - maybe 50+ instructions. in order to multiply two arbitrary numbers together, I roughly estimate it to be maybe a conservative 30+ instruction process - based from my experience with other instruction sets. It's kind of like having 30 people at a dinner table for 6 with 1 fork to share among them. PITA PITA PITA!! Mind you, you are doing this with a severely limited number of registers - having to pass stuff around in memory is inevitable. Typically, the next instruction would be the unconditional GOTO instruction, you would want to skip this if you didn't want it to branch to some other part of the program. Ok, so let's say you do this - you get to use their bit test instruction that either goes to the next instruction or skips it. Say you decided to use repeated addition (or subtraction if you wanted to divide), you would need some kind of repetition instruction - like 'loop.' Guess what? It's not built in, you have to make it using branching instructions. If you want the chip to calculate 3x3=9, you can't without using repeated addition. Out of these 33 instructions, the ability to multiply or divide numbers is not present. The 12C508A has 33 single word instructions, 512 words of program memory and 25 bytes of data RAM. It is a $4 8-pin, 8 bit CMOS microcontroller. I'm still looking for the 'latest state-of-the-art microprocessor with artificial intelligence software,' that's supposed to be on there. I see some capacitors, a diode, a switch, some other stuff, and a PIC 12C508A microcontroller. Now, I'm looking at this picture of the TurboRev Board. The TurboRev board immediately activates the hopper's motor and starts feeding! As the balls fall, the TurboRev's computer monitors the feed rate and adjusts the agitator motor's speed, torque, and spin duration to increase the feed rate to the maximum possible given the design of the Revolution hopper!' Unlike the standard Viewloader circuitry, there is no startup delay on the first missing ball. The TurboRev circuit board uses the latest state-of-the-art microprocessor with artificial intelligence software.
