Hi! If possible I whould like to be added to the list.
1 assembled w/enclosure.

Ash

Added: added Michael993's request for enclosures, added Deadeye to 2nd Round list
This list for the first round of boards is now closed. I've started a Waiting/Back-up list below for those that missed this first run.

Quick reminders:
1) unless otherwise noted, it's assumed you are asking for an assembled unit.
2) enclosures are optional - feel free to update/ Post a reply/ PM and I'll update the list if you are looking for an enclosure.

Payment Info posted by Lewis (from post #147):
Once assembled, I will start sending PM's so folks can provide me their shipping addresses. Inside the package will be the unit, a hardcopy of the schematic, a hardcopy of the PCB layout and a return address envelope. When you get the unit and everything is OK, just use the envelope to send payment. I am a trusting person when it comes to RL members, so I have no problem sending out the units prior to receiving payment.

Update:

45 units assembled (half way!)
9 kits bagged

Once the last 45 units are assembled, I will electrically test each one and then we can begin shipping.

I will make a trip to my local post office with an assembled unit and a plastic enclosure to see what the cost would be for first class mail (in a 6x9 manilla envelope) vs Priority Mail Small Flat Rate box ($5.20).

66 enclosures (based on Ash's list and my spreadsheet) and screws (for cover and PCB...need to order in packs of 100, so I ordered 2 of each) have been ordered today from Mouser. In stock and will ship USPS Priority Mail (cheaper than UPS or FedEx).

Total for 66 enclosures + 200 PCB mounting screws + 200 cover screws was $117.62 + 7.35 tax + 14.99 shipping = $139.96

Here is a link to the enclosures:

Here is a link to the PCB mounting screws:
http://www.mouser.com/Search/Product...546-1551ATS100

Here is a link to the enclosure cover screws:
http://www.mouser.com/Search/Product...y546-1591TS100

I bought the screws so everyone doesn't have to run to Lowes or Home Depot looking for the right size. It should add about $0.25 to each order, which I thought was OK.

Update: just received email that the enclosures and screws have shipped... About 4 hours after ordering.

NC TRACKRAT

Definitely a "class act"! A work of art like this deserves recognition. Please sign or initialize and number each creation somehow, perhaps inside or outside the enclosure.

ltc

75 units assembled.
Hope to complete assembly and electrical test this week...

Deadeye

Please add me to the list for 2 assembled units with enclosures. After years of dealing with SAI bullxxxx it will give me great joy to finally slay this EPA dragon. Lewis, I hereby formally nominate you for sainthood.

michaelh993

Ash,
please add enclosures to my 2

thank you, this is so cool!

After a marathon weekend assembly session (locked in basement listening to Stevie Ray Vaughn), they're built. 90 assembled units, 9 bagged 'Heathkit' units (the kit versions will also include a small roll of solder as well).

I will do electrical test this week (at night after work) on each of the assembled units.
The enclosures are due in this week as well.
I also need to print out 99 hardcopies of the schematic and 99 hardcopies of the PCB, so folks have them as a reference. On the schematic are all the DigiKey part numbers. These hardcopies will be with each shipment.

Once that is done, I will post for folks to start sending me (via PM) their mailing address information.

My bride (who has graciously volunteered to help with logistics) will then print out address labels on the Dymo LabelWriter. She will also print out return address labels and fix them to envelopes, which will be included with each shipment to make sending payment easier.
She is also going to take a unit to the post office this week to see if there is a cheaper way to send these besides $5.20 Priority Mail Small Box flat rate.

At that point, she can add up all the bills (PCB's, parts, envelopes/labels/shipping) and come up with the final actual cost to date for 99 units.
I should have an update sometime this week .

Here is a pic of the units awaiting test ...

and a very sincere Thank You!

Ash

Added Michael993's request for enclosures and Deadeye's addition to 2nd round list.

Lewis...that picture of all those boards is a thing of beauty. Thanks again for doing all this heavy lifting...wow!

Hi Ash,
Unfortunately, the order for the enclosures had already been placed/shipped before the request for 2 additional enclosures.

You are AMAZING Sir !

Ash

Thanks Lewis...suspected that might be the case.

I suppose we could add Michael993's enclosure request to the second list or he could place the order directly with the distributor?

FisterD

I would like to get on the second round list:
4 units, assembled with enclosures.

ltc

Yes, anyone can order the parts directly from the electronics distributors that I've used.
I have posted links in this thread (enclosures were obtained from Mouser, all other electronic components were obtained from DigiKey).

I also have no issues providing the schematic and PCB files, so anyone could arrange to have PCB's fabricated and assemble their own units, since the design work has been done.

As for the second list, I have no issues with a second run. The exact cost would depend on the # of units in that order, since it is pretty much a flat charge for PCB fabrication (again, those costs have been posted in this thread as well). It will be up to the members.
