New SSC

[rdebolt]

Planning on replacing mine.

2,500 SSC's with 128 nodes each is a total of 320,000 nodes or 960,000 channels 

If COOP went to 2,605 SSC's, they could effectively control over 1 million channels...

All this math makes my head hurt!!

Ya Zwiller does not have a life either!!

I wonder how many SSCs are already out there?

At this point before this coop it was just over 7000 with the coops and ones I mailed out form the store. So it will be getting close to 10,000 at the rate the coop is going plus the people that always order a bunch of pcbs right after the coops.

Revised figures 

10,000 SSC's @ 128 per = 1,280,000 nodes = 3,840,000 channels

OR another way of looking at it:

1,280,000 nodes @ $0.40 per node = $512,000.00

bare minimums...

10,000 SSC's @ 1 per = 10,000 nodes = 30,000 channels

10,000 nodes @ $0.40 per node = $4,000.00

Shouldn't you guys be calculating how much cheaper each V4 controllers will be since there are 2,250 being purchased instead of 250??? Jeez

And at 5000 units they become free. At 7500 they start paying you for helping them clear inventory. But that just a rumor

Please DON"T put prices up for a active Coop

ONLY the Coop Manager can do that. It can cause confusion and problems for people unfamiliar with the coop process and the manager.

Sorry Rick. Good point.

I removed some post from this thread,

We have ask on a number of times that people do not post estimated coop pricing as it has lead to issues in the past. They are never correct as the people forget that the cost has to include the shipping to the coop manager of the large quanitity of parts divided and the paypal fee that paypal will charge plus coop fee and packing supplies that can be costly. Like the static foam at $45 a sheet, Static bags, plastic bags,shipping supplies labels etc.

So members that do not know better go order based on the amount and then get upset it was more when the time comes to pay. So they drop out mad and leave the coop manager hanging.

The coop managers themselves do not know what it will be until the coop is done they have the total quanitities and get pcb quotes on the larger amount. Then they still have to try and come up with an estimate of the shipping.

This is why we post a minimum amount on the coop with the cost at that quanitity. We will not be more than that it will only go down. This way the person can decide based on a number they can be sure of not being more. If the coop does not get enough to meet that then it will not run and so the issue is resolved.

Btw.. most people assume everythign is cheaper in larger quanity but the truth is shipping sometimes goes up per order at a point when it gets large enough. not alot normally, and it still comes out cheaper for the items on coop overall because we save a lot on the bulk price of parts.

I am concered that some newbies don't understand what they are ordering. I noticed a few entries that are for one of the 2 pigtails only with no ssc's. And some ssc's without pigtails which make it so much easier to do quick substitutions for troubleshooting problems especially if your display is already set up.
