excellent, so if you hear drums PD and orac are both working fine…
its just MEC
and I found that I forgot to enable NUI when I built it on the dev box 
anyway, Ive uploaded a new version… (previous post has correct link)
as a bonus, Im now going to update the demos, and will update the post above with links for those too
(give me 5 minutes or so)
thanks for your help!
