Hey Bob, do you actually have one of these? If not, I think the phrase, go away applies. If you do and you feel that a experimental product that by the builder's own admission still has some kinks to work out should be dead on reliable, many phrases apply. As it is, I have the system running without closed loop without any real issue, closed loop is not working, but I'm happy to be using a laptop instead of a dedicated computer with it's huge tower.
