Another interesting update.

My display was always dim...although honestly I didn't know any better. At the most recent con I trooped at I hung out with JC27 (who's a great guy and also in my garrison). I noticed his display was much brighter than mine was. I contacted Fettronics and they sent me a 4 battery case which upped my voltage from 4.5 to 6V. Attached to this post are two images taken of the same sequence screen. The dimmer one is the 3 battery case attached, the brighter is the 4 battery case. This is using just standard alkaline batteries. Do not use the 4 AA battery pack and rechargeable batteries...you will fry the board that way. It can barely handle 4 AA alkaline batteries...any more voltage (rechargeable batteries are about .2volts higher in voltage so 4X.2 = .8 more volts) will most likely fry the device.

Enjoy.
