Here you can find the latest software for controlling the juggling props made by Aerotech Projects. Some of the versions might be upcoming versions that are not officially published (yet) and therefore could be bit unstable. On the other hand you can get early access to the new features of the latest software and - in time - you'll be able to download older versions as well.

2020.02.02: Glo Ultimate App - ver. 0.11 Download from here. This release contains several new features. The Input screen now remembers the options you selected the last time. This is helpful if you open the same .glo script several times and want to try different options. It saves you from cycling through options you alreay tried. Note that the options you selected are lost when you close the application. Added new global constant GLO_BRIGHTNESS that controls the overall brightness of the prop. It works in a similar way like the screen brightness slider on your phone. The higher the value is (max 100, min 1) the brighter the colors of the prop are. Also, brighter light draws more current from the battery, so it drains the battery faster. This constant gives you an option to balance the duration the club is able to work on a single charge. Basically for practice sessions you might want decrease the value so the props will last longer. For your stage performance you probably want to set the value to maximum - value 100. Please note that if the brightnes value is set, for example, to 50% (or any value less than 100), then the color scale of the emitting light is reduced. Therefore some color transformations - like ramp command - will not have as vivid colors as when displayed with full brightness. But the timing of the color changes will be the same, no mater what brightness value you set. What happens to your existing .glo scripts that don't set the brightness constant? Nothing terrible - existing scripts will work the same way as they used to, the brightness will be automatically set to 100%. There are 2 new example .glo scripts that show how to use the GLO_BRIGHTNESS constant. The first is the simple way by defining the brighness value directly in your script - see Brightness_example.glo script. The second example - Brightness_inputs_example.glo - shows how you can set the constant from within the input screen. It has the advantage that you don't have to touch the .glo script in order to change the brightness. You can set the brightness value on the input screen before you upload the script to the prop. The values of the options on the input screen can have additionl textual tip. Rather than displaying just some symbolic value like LOW or LONG you can now add a text to the value which will be also displayed on the input screen next to the value. So you can display for example value: LONG (10 seconds). To do that simply add a comment behind the value like that: #define SHORT 200 ; 2 seconds #define LONG 1000 ; 10 seconds #input START_DELAY SHORT, LONG ; define the initial delay This will display the input option START_DELAY and the available values will be 'SHORT (2 seconds)' and 'LONG (10 seconds)'.

2019.12.14: Glo Ultimate App - ver. 0.10 Download from here. This release contains several new features. added #input options to the .glo scripts Inputs are displayed before the sequence is loaded to the prop. They allow the user/juggler to select an option on the input screen, which can affect the behavior of the .glo sequence. You can define colors selectors, delay values, effect indexes, even sub-routine selections on the input screen. This is quite siginificant feature and you should finitely check the new example scripts that start with 'Inputs_*' name. added support for simple math operations to the .glo script You can now specify basic math expressions in constant definitions (see Math_example.glo). This will allow you to calculate some cool effects based on the input values the user selected on the input screen. For example let's say that you have 5 clubs and the odd club numbers (clubs 1,3,5) should start an effect with 3 seconds delay, but even club numbers (club 2 and 4) should start the same effect with 2 second delay. To do that define a constant EFFECT_START like this: #define EFFECT_START ((CLUB_INDEX & 1) + 2) * 100 What this formula do is: it takes a value of input variable CLUB_INDEX, reduces it to 0 or 1 (depending whether it is odd or even number) then it adds a number 2 to the result. So at this stage our result is eiter 0 + 2 for even clubs or 1 + 2 for odd clubs. At the end the result is multiplied by 100 which is 1 second delay value. But what if you'd want to reverse the timing? If you'd want the odd clubs to be delayed by 2 seconds and even clubs to be delayed by 3 seconds, you can just modify the formula like this: #define EFFECT_START ((1 - (CLUB_INDEX & 1)) + 2) * 100 We added the 1 - (...) at the beginnig of the calculation. What it does is it changes value 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 - simple as that. The rest is the same. The constant value is then used in the script like that: delay (EFFECT_START) or ramp (RED, EFFECT_START) But the main point is you can now modify / recalculate these constants later during your script development without actually changing a single line of the rest of your script. This will save you painfull modifications of the timing values on each line that were related to your effect. And if you had separate scripts for odd and even club number, you can now have just one script common for all your props. So it makes much easier to tweak certain effects and you can spend more time on doing the creative stuff. added support for color coded .glo syntax in text editors Supported are Notepad++ (Windows) and Gtk based text editors (gedit, pluma, mousepad in Linux). See the 'extras' directory for instructions how to install the color coded syntax. added MacOSX 32 bit build if you'd need to run it on an old mac - still has to be Intel based computer. You'd need a Snow Leopard version (10.6), but it might work on Leopard (10.5) as well.
