Do more software
« on: February 23, 2017, 10:25:48 PM »
  The new hardware looks good. Nice work.  I was hoping to see some improvements on the software. On thing I don't like is the 16 character  limit when making a new data block. Also why not use the underscore and the numbers. I can see the numbers be an issue but 16 character is not enough. Also when using arrays I sometimes can't use an array inside an array I get error name to long. To fix the last issue had to move the array to Dx memory and that works fine. A few issues that would good product great.
   Have a nice day.

It is very high on the roadmap to expand names from 16 to 32 characters. We hoped to get that into 2.0, but BRX was a huge effort and we simply don't have the horses to do it all. I'm not ready to say for certain that it will happen for 2.1, but that is my hope.
