Do to what appears to be enough demand for express kits we are opening another coop up:
This Co-Op is for the Lynx Express version 5 kit.
*********************************************************************************
There is no options on this coop. The PCB's or Heatsinks alone are avaliable from me already.
This coop is for parts, PCB and heatsink.
No kits will contain the Cases as it is just as cost effective for the users to order them and easier for the coop managers.
This Coop will close on March 26th 2011 at 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time zone or when it fills its limit of 100 kits.
NO MORE THAN 100 KITS will be allowed on this coop and it will automatically be considered closed at that point!!!
Full Payment is expected when the coop is closed no orders can be made until all members have paid. All members will receive PM’s or be directed by post how to pay once the coop closes with details.
Please get your paypal payments in as soon as you get the Co-Op invoice PM as no orders can be placed until all payments have been received. You will have only 7 days to get payments in before you orders will be dropped.
By joining this Co-Op you also agree that the Co-Op manager, DLA (as a board to also include all administrators, moderators, and members) shall not be held for any liability. You are joining this Co-Op at your own risk.
What is a Lynx Express you may ask?
Well the Lynx Express is a 16 Channel controller based off the popular Lynx and FreeStyle designs but with some nice new features. The Lynx Express supports on board push button start address programming, the ability to program the Pic without removing it from the controller, and On board diagnostics. In addition this controller has some advanced features.
Some of the features are:
1. Custom dimming (LNT) curves that can be assigned on a per channel basis. What this means is that you can have standard and Led light strings plugged into your controller and be able to get them to dim at the same rate.
2. Testing. If you have problems with your LE. You can now put the LE into a diagnostics mode that will help isolate those problems.
3. Wireless Yes that’s right this controller will support a plug and play module that allows your controller to go wireless with the addition of the wireless equipment.
4. Built in snubber resistors to help LED users. no need to add the resistor plugs on you led strings as they are built in. This does not effect standard light users.
As with any Co-Op this Co-Op is subject to the forum rules. These rules can be reviewed using the following link.
Forum Co-Op rules

You will receive all the parts you need for the complete kit. To complete your setup you will need power cords for the AC hookup and a DMX dongle to use along with the Vixen or LightShowPro software programs. At the time of this writing I can only suggest the use of the Lynx USB DMX adapter or the Enttec Pro. There are other adapters that can be used but due to issues that have been found with them I cannot recommend them.
Now for the pricing.
We have a base goal of 50 kits. This goal allows the cost per unit to drop low enough to make it cost effective to run the coop. below this number we will not make the order.
Pricing is below broken into the 50 unit levels. The pricing below will include all fees, shipping and handling charges to get the items to the Coop Manager.
*****50 Kit Level*****
Lynx Express Complete Kit /w heatsink (No Case) $68
This is an estimate and the previous coops have all beat this in the past. The larger the amount the better the pricing most times.
Shipping will be based on the USPS flat rate box. This is the box that will ship in the US for $10.95 a box and international for $45.50 Canada and Mexico $27.95. This is the shipping cost per flat rate box we can fit about 6 kits in a single flat rate box but can go to a larger flat rate box for larger orders for a few dollars more up to twelve. If you wish to have insurance on your package it is your responsiblity to choose the amount and lookup the cost to add. You must add this to your paypal payment and in the comments explain you paid for insurence and how much. We can not be held responsable for you packaged once accepted at the post office and we have a receipt of shipment if it is not insured.
Post with the quanitity you wish in this thread. Please do not post questions or your thoughts in the coop thread. Start a new thread in the correct area for these. Coop threads are strickly for people requesting orders. If you later wish to change your quanity please post again clearly stating that this is a update to a previous order and how many you wish it to be now.
If you have any questions please post a new thread to help keep the coop thread clean.
Thanks for all the help in completeing the coop.

I got 2 boxes today. Each box had ten kits including the correct number of kit packages. Aside from a few loose screws that worked their way out of the heat sink bags everything looks good. I have enough to keep me busy for some time.
Thank you RJ for running these Coops and allowing the rest of us to participate in this fun.

lol well an update for you then.. all 4 are built... and tested. Although I still can't program the channels via software. Always have to do it manually on each board. Makes me wonder if the light curves will program correctly.
But after this coop I'm now at 6 which makes me happy.. Now to get the wireless coop stuff and I'll be set with the exception of cords and cases... Love this addiction!

RJ
I got mine on Wednesday. Everything looks like it is here. I built my first one with only one small mistake. I did not get one of the buttons down tight to the board. But everything has tested out great. Thank you very much RJ and everyone who helped you. Also your video was a great help. I like that better than reading directions.
Thanks Again

Received my well sorted and packaged LE order this week. I'm just amazed at the amount of time and effort the volunteer coop managers put into these. They are spoiling me with this level of quality each time. Thanks to everyone in the Jordan clan involved, yet again, in a successfully run coop.
-Mike

Glad everyone is happy you should all have them as they were all in the U.S. this coop. I am moving this to the finished coop section.
