Title: First Lynx Express Completed!
Post by: kgustafson on April 15, 2011,

Well, I have gotten to the goal!  First Lynx EX completed and I have additional blinky (to add to my not quite as capable LOR equipment!)

I would suggest that you change the last picture in the manual (the one where they show the completed board with wiring) since all the cables are in backwards in the picture.  It kinda threw me for a bit, but I went with white on the right (aka neutral as printed on the PCB) and black (+) on the left for the left power connection.  The picture in the manual is reversed.  I would hate for folks to fry their board because of that pic.

Very enjoyable build -- just 5 more to go!

Also, I did NOT have the middle display issue that some did see.

My wife says I am addicted....ya think?!

LOL

Yeah, the pictures need some updated in the manual.  Keep meaning to take new shots.  Maybe for the next Express I'll get the tripod and camera set up.

Inzeos,

By no means did I mean to imply the manual wasn't good!  It is outstanding.  That pic was a just a tad misleading.

Congrats!  I think you guys have done an amazing job with the manual but that old picture I thought was gone a long time ago. That was my goof I was in a hurry to get a pic to finish the orignal version of the manual for users and was not paying attention.   <fp.

Just finished 6 of 6 LEs.  All worked flawlessly.

Punchlist is almost complete. 

I have the wireless yet to do (thanks to Keith and the awesome COOP that is currently going on)
I have CG-1500 cases, grommets, plugs, and break-away RJ-45 connectors all on order

I am almost out of things to do!  Scary.  I guess I could go play catch with my kids!
