Xpantastic!

Hi yall,
Good to see a Xpander list. I tried subbing to a Matrix one months ago 
when I got my Xpander but never got a acknowledgment.

-Here is a photo of my Xpander with a few friends:

A local carpenter built a little stand for me to keep it propped at the 
angle. Allot easier to access this way.

-Help with the Xpander Mod Matrix:
> Can anyone offer some tips, web references, and/or guidance for
> understanding, navigating, and programming the Xpander Mod Matrix ?
> Trying to get my head around it.

-My encoders need spayed every few weeks and worked or they get 
intermittent. I know the encoders are very hard to find and hard to  
mod off the shelf ones. Would anyone have any info on a source for drop 
in replacements or be up to the modding of them ?
