Engineering
The SwitchGlo Pro and
PushGlo embodies a
multilayer circuit board with low power components creating an
intelligent switch-mode regulation. They both utilizes a programmable
microcontroller enabling our custom source code to control the glow
efficiency under various voltages and conditions, as well as control the
many other key
features that makes SwitchGlo Pro and
PushGlo so great.
SwitchGlo
is designed by Zdatum Corporation, the same engineering firm to provide
circuit design for projects within the
Space Shuttle,
Mars Probe, AH-1Z Cobra Helicopter, B1 Bomber, and numerous other
military, commercial, and medical applications.
Pre-Production Beta Testing - 2007
SwitchGlo beta units were given to 30 R/C
Helicopter, Airplane, and Truck enthusiasts and professionals. We estimate
a pre-production SwitchGlo usage time of 360 flight hours. During this
time, we collected surveys from each beta tester, providing us with detailed
opinions of product perception, performance, features, size, weight, and
price. The survey responses exceeded our expectation. All beta testers were
extremely happy with SwitchGlo in all respects except size and weight. In our
final production design, we reduced both size and weight by half. The same beta
units are still in use and performing very well.
