Well I rev'd my order from Mouser yesterday (they delivered Friday but I was at work). So I decided to to use 1 of 2 boards I recv'd from a member here and do the assembly. Wow with all the years I have in soldering it's amazing what you remember after not doing it for awhile and what you forget. While in the military I had some NASA quality soldering but over the years well not so much.
Anyway.. It's done. I ordered my PicKit3 off E-bay yesterday so once that comes in I can program the chip and see if my soldering is good enough to make the thing go! Now I wish I had ordered that programmer months ago! lol Yeah I'm impatient I admit to it.
Thanks to everyone here for the wealth of information and for RJ and the coop managers for their time and efforts.
Now waiting on the Express coop stuff to come in and my dongle cases and I should be all set!
Well aside from wanting an SSR4 coop now. That reminds me I need to order those parts for the Freestyle... hmmmm Off to mouser.com I guess!
