Title: 1st Lynx Express v5 COOP for 2013 - ** No longer accepting orders **
Post by: kgustafson on January 10, 2013,
This Coop is for the Lynx Express V5.

*********************************************************************************
Please read this post completely before posting in this Coop.

This Coop will have only one option. It will be for a complete kit including PCB, parts, and heatsink.
You will receive all the parts you need to build a complete Lynx Express v5.

PIC Chips will be pre-loaded with the latest firmware for the Lynx Express v5. 

No additional cabling (power cables, external plugs, etc.) nor CG-1500 enclosure are included with this COOP.

More information about the Lynx Express V5 can be found here:
http://www.diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=Equipment#Dimmers (http://www.diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=Equipment#Dimmers)
http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?board=41.0 (http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?board=41.0)
*********************************************************************************
The Coop will be limited to 250 kits.

This Coop will close on January 20th at 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time or when it fills its limit of 250 kits.

Full Payment is expected when the Coop is closed. No orders can be made until all members have paid. All members will receive PMs with details or will be directed by post how to pay once the Coop closes.

Please get your PayPal payments in as soon as you get the Coop invoice PM as no orders can be placed until all payments have been received.

By joining this Coop you also agree that the Coop manager, DLA (as a board to also include all administrators, moderators, and members) shall not be held for any liability.  You are joining this Coop at your own risk.

As with any Coop this Coop is subject to the forum rules.  These rules can be reviewed using the following link.

*********************************************************************************

Here is the pricing breakdown based on the initial quotes. 
Pricing is in US Dollars and includes PayPal and Coop fees.

We have a base goal of 100 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.

Lynx Express V5 Kit With PCB, parts and heatsink.
Per Kit At Qty 100 - $70.81**

This is an estimate. As always higher numbers reduce pricing and lower numbers increase pricing. 

** THIS PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING WHICH YOU WILL HAVE TO ADD TO THE COST OF THE COOP TO RECEIVE YOUR ORDER.

*********************************************************************************

Shipping will be by US Postal Service Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes. All orders will require at least a medium flat rate box since the kits will not fit in a smaller box.  A Medium Box will fit up to 6 kit orders of the Lynx Express.  If you are ordering more equipment, please PM me for shipping details and additional shipping rates may apply.

Shipping Charges: for the “Medium” flat rate box with PayPal fees. (In US Dollars)
Domestic: $11.98   
Canada and Mexico: $34.21
All Others: $49.64

If you wish to have insurance on your package it is your responsibility to choose the amount and look up the cost to add. You must add this to your PayPal payment and in the comments explain you paid for insurance and how much. We cannot be held responsible for your package once accepted at the post office and we have a receipt of shipment if it is not insured. 

*********************************************************************************

Post with the quantity 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 strictly for people requesting orders. If you later wish to change your quantity please post again clearly stating that this is an update to a previous order and how many you wish it to be now.

Thanks,

Kurt

6 for me please.  is there a limit in this co-op or was it mentioned and I was just blind?  Thanks for doing this Kurt!

There is no limit to quantity ordered.  I mentioned the 6 unit limit fitting the Medium Flat Rate Box, just so you have an idea of the shipping costs.  If you order more, we can accomodate a large flat rate box, and after that, multiple boxes.  The only limit imposed is that when (and/or if) the COOP hits a total of 250 units, the COOP will close.  This is so I won't be spending months sorting parts.

Update 001 -- 01/12/2013

Major Activity:
 - Opened COOP
 - Receiving Membership.  151 in two days!  Filling quickly.  Remember this closes when 99 more orders are received so don't wait!
 

Awaiting:
 - Membership to close
 - Get quotes from vendors
 - Finalize pricing
 - Figure out packaging (poly bags, anti-static, foam, labeling, padding, wrapping, boxing)
 - Send out payment notices
 - All members pay
 - Finalize membership
 - Order USPS flat rate boxes
 - Order PCBs and Heatsinks
 - Order parts from Mouser
 - Order shipping supplies
 - Receipt of all items
 - Sorting
 - Shipping
 - Close out COOP

If at any time you need to contact me for any reason, please PM me.  I will attempt to get back to you as soon as I am able!

Some notes: 
I will try to post one of these updates weekly.
I will ship in the units out in the order in which I receive CONFIRMED payment notices from paypal.  That means if you are quick to respond when payment notices go out with your payment, you will be one of the first to receive your equipment when the parts and PCBs are received. 


Thanks,

Kurt

Quantity and cost:

Right now, with 176 units our per unit cost (without shipping) is around $66.09

At 200 our costs will be around $65.44 per unit
At 250 our costs will be around $63.86 per unit

(this is based on current mouser costs, does not consider backorders, and based on $16 per PCB/Heatsink cost--which may -- most likely be less at this quantity).

The more ordered, the less you all will pay.

One for me please. (If you have some resistors to suit 240V, saves me having to track them down, if not all good)

Cheers,
Rowan

Rowan,

Not sure what the mods need to be for 240V.  If you PM me with the requirements, I can order those as part of the overall order (that way you will get them cheaper).  Also, need to know where you are located for international shipping charges.

[Edit: I see that you need 16 330 ohm resistors that will replace the 180 ohm resistors.  I will make sure to order these for you.]

Thanks,

Kurt

Update 002 -- 01/19/2013

Major Activity:
 - Opened COOP
 - Receiving Membership.  204 so far.  Remember this closes when 46 more orders are received or by tomorrow at 8pm so don't wait!
 

Awaiting:
 - Membership to close
 - Get quotes from vendors
 - Finalize pricing
 - Figure out packaging (poly bags, anti-static, foam, labeling, padding, wrapping, boxing)
 - Send out payment notices
 - All members pay
 - Finalize membership
 - Order USPS flat rate boxes
 - Order PCBs and Heatsinks
 - Order parts from Mouser
 - Order shipping supplies
 - Receipt of all items
 - Sorting
 - Shipping
 - Close out COOP

If at any time you need to contact me for any reason, please PM me.  I will attempt to get back to you as soon as I am able!

Some notes: 

I will try to post one of these updates weekly.
I will ship in the units out in the order in which I receive CONFIRMED payment notices from paypal.  That means if you are quick to respond when payment notices go out with your payment, you will be one of the first to receive your equipment when the parts and PCBs are received. 


Thanks,

Kurt
Title: Re: 1st Lynx Express v5 COOP for 2013 - ** Accepting Orders **
Post by: kgustafson on January 19, 2013,
For those who are new to the COOPs,

If you look at my above update, you will see quite a few items under the 'awaiting' category.  This is basically the steps still needed to finish out the COOP.  Here is a timeline of how long things typically take:

Open for orders - 2 weeks
Finalize pricing - 2 days
Send out payment notices - 4 days
Member pay - 1 week (receive all money)
Order PCBs/Heatsinks and parts and supplies - 2 weeks - 1 month (dependent on backorders etc.  Can go longer if backorders are huge)
Confirm receipt of items (1 day)
Printing, sorting, packaging - 2 weeks
Shipping - 1 week

So you see that the overall process from a COOP lasts anywhere from 2 - 3 months approximately.  From the time you actually pay in Paypal to the time you receive equipment is quite a bit of time as well.  This can be 1-2 months of time (again dependent on many factors).  The key is to be patient.  This is done all on volunteer time and I don't get paid to do it--not that I mind doing it. 

I use the update messages (like the one above) to keep you all informed of where we are in the COOP.

I have figured out packaging and labeling last night.  It is going to require over 3000 labels and baggies and ESD bags.  The parts count is in the tens of thousands (32,224 at last count) each of which is sorted, tagged, and bagged.  This will take some time to accomplish.

Kurt

Insurance,,,,,
,Regular Insurance,,,,
,$0.01 - 50.00,,,,1.95
,50.01 - 100.00,,,,2.45
,100.01 - 200.00,,,,3.05
,200.01 - 300.00,,,,5.10
,Per each additional $100,,,,1.15

From this locale:

https://www.usps.com/new-prices.htm (https://www.usps.com/new-prices.htm)

You ordered 2 LEs @ $70 value (roughly)  so you would be in $140 range.  This is $3.05 extra.

Is $70.81 the final concrete cost for the kit?  Will the final # of kits influence this price?

I'm just wanting to know so I can go ahead and take care of payment and my final total.
Title: Re: 1st Lynx Express v5 COOP for 2013 - ** No longer accepting orders **
Post by: kgustafson on January 21, 2013,
No it is not $70.81.  I do not know the final price yet as stated before.  I have quotes in for the final price and will have a final price sometime this week.  The final count does affect the price (more usually means cheaper).  You will have to be patient about the payment and cost for the time being.  As soon as I do have the final price, I will be posting it here as well as sending out PMs to every member of the COOP about payment details.

Thanks,

Kurt

I received information about the PCBs.  Just to let everyone know, the PCBs are being redesigned to fit the newer CG-1500 posts.  This is to fit the cases as they have been designed for the last 2-3 years and are to be going in the future.  I believe this is a good thing as it will fit what you are likely to find purchasing a CG-1500 these days.  Also, the machine shop that mills the heatsink is swamped with orders, so the heatsink may take some time to get to us.  I will provide more details as I receive them. 

I am still awaiting a final pricing for the PCBs and heatsink order.  Once I get those, I will be able to send out payment PMs to everyone.  For now, we wait.  I expect to get this cost quote soon.

I will be sending PMs out with pay details.

Please get your payments in by February 3, 2012 - sooner if possible.

If you want to go ahead and pay prior to getting a PM from me, figure out what you want to pay above (TOTAL cost or TOTAL cost + insurance if you want to insure your shipment).   

Send payments to paypal to my account (kgustafson2@gmail.com)
Select "goods" as the type of service you are buying
Put "Purchase of <Qty> Lynx Express(es) from <DLA username>" in the subject field
Put "Purchase of <Qty> Lynx Express(es) from <DLA username> for a cost of <total cost>. I <am|am not> purchasing insurance" in the body of the message

Please, please, please, include your DLA username in the message.  Many of you have completely different names on Paypal than what you use in DLA.

If you are ordering from CA (I think I may have one non-US member), I will PM you with the rates (the shipping rates are different for you, the COOP kit rates are the same).

Barbotte,

No one has yet, but I will keep you on the list in case someone does.  Typically, after a COOP, the store will get PCBs in, but that is totally under the control of RJ, so I really can't speak to what the plans are for the store, and am only basing this on past experience.  So you may have an avenue to get your LE that way in the near future.

Major Activity:
 - Membership Closed (1/20)
 - Received quotes from Vendor
 - Finalized pricing
 - Figured out packaging

Awaiting:
 - Send out payment notices
 - All members pay
 - Finalize membership
 - Order USPS flat rate boxes
 - Order PCBs and Heatsinks

 - Receipt of all items
 - Sorting

 - Close out COOP

If at any time you need to contact me for any reason, please PM me.  I will attempt to get back to you as soon as I am able!

Some notes: 

25 of y'all have already sent payments in the first day!  Woohoo!  That is a great start.  You will note that I checked that a PM was sent to you 25, even though I didn't.  This is basically saying that I don't need to send you a payment PM, since you already have paid!  Don't look for a PM from me, because it won't be coming if you have already paid. 

Some of you guys (two actually) overpaid.  You will see those refunds coming from a message from paypal when I get around to sending you two refunds (probably tomorrow).

I am starting to send out PMs tonight to those who haven't paid already.  Make sure to be as prompt as possible with your payments through paypal!

Thanks,

Kurt

Okay, quick update.  I did send out PMs to EVERYONE!  (even those that have already paid).  If you have paid and your name is on the 1st page 2nd entry on this forum as being paid, you are golden and do not need to worry if I know you paid or not.  However, if you paid, and you are not on the list on page 1, this means I have not recorded you have paid for some reason, and a quick PM to tag me about it would be good, so we can figure out what Paypal has messed up (*grin*).

Whew.  89 letters in less than an hour.  My fingers are tired! (just warming up for the 84,000+ parts I have to sort later)

Sorry about that.  Will update later tonight (when I get home from work).  This reminds me to say, everyone needs to check the listing on page 1 (2nd entry) to make sure you have been checked as paid and checked with insurance (if you paid for insurance that is).  I have made mistakes in the past and am almost certain to make them in future, so please check my work to make sure I didn't miss something.

All,

I just got word that my largest order (10) just backed out of the COOP.  If anyone wants extra kits or if anyone is looking for Lynx Express Kits, I have a glut of them!  1 of 10 is potentially accounted for.

Okay,  LEs are going fast.  We have surpassed the 75% (69 of 91 have paid) paid mark!  Way to go COOP!

We have sold 5 of 10 extra units as well.  So these are well on the way of being picked up.  If you want an extra Lynx Express or want to join our merry band of COOP members, send me a PM.  We have 5 left!

For those who have paid, please make sure that I have record of it.  Check the first page of this forum section second entry and see if you have been 'X'd for paid and insurance (if you paid for insurance).  Paypal has made a couple of mistakes with me already -- which have been fixed -- so make sure you check!

Update 004 -- 02/04/2013

Major Activity:
 - Sent out payment notices
 - Received payments - All but one member paid
 - Sent PM to wait list for for the one kit available

Awaiting:
 - Receive payment for last kit
 - Finalize membership (will be completed when the last kit is paid for)
 - Order USPS flat rate boxes
 - Order PCBs and Heatsinks
 - Order parts from Mouser
 - Order shipping supplies
 - Receipt of all items
 - Sorting
 - Shipping
 - Close out COOP

Notes:
 - I will be ordering the parts from Mouser this week.  Some parts are backordered (really partial ordered), so I will be recieveing some parts in 'batches'.  This means I will be able to begin sorting some--but not all--kits when I receive these partial orders.  These will be used to fill and ship kits to the members in the order in which I received payment from you.  You can see what order number you are by looking on the member list (page one second post) and looking at the rightmost column. 
- This COOP posting and forum will stay open until I am assured that EVERY member has received their kits and there are no issues with the orders.

If at any time you need to contact me for any reason, please PM me.  I will attempt to get back to you as soon as I am able!

Thanks,

Kurt

Just a quick note.  Began receiving parts from Mouser so I am starting to sort parts.  I have all the manifests printed (BOM listings with all the parts for each member) and will be printing all the labels for the baggies tonight.  I have an outstanding order for silver lined anti-static bags and additional small baggies (2"x3"), however, I have enough to begin.  PCBs and Heatsink order is still being worked (ordered but not fulfilled yet).  I will be ordering the padding material and packing tape tonight as well (for shipping).

Progress!

Notes:
 - I am going out of town for a week for business so it will halt my abililty to sort this next week.  I am supposed to come back on Friday, which is also Sequestration day for the government. It is possible that flights will be cancelled due to TSA shortages and FAA shortages.  Let's all hope and pray that either a) congress and the president can work to break the deadlock and avoid the sequestration, or b) the sequestration happens but does not affect the airlines! I truly do love this country and the system of government our forefathers created, but sometimes, it drives me completely bonkers!

All,

Not much to report.  Just continuing sorting the parts I have. I am still waiting on the Mouser backorder, PCBs, and Heat sinks.

Good news is that when the PCBs and heatsinks get in, I can begin packaging and shipping those orders that I could fulfill with the non-backordered parts.

Will continue to keep you all abreast of what is going on.

Still awaiting PCBs and Heatsinks.

Still awaiting backorder of terminal blocks from Mouser (due in next week)

Still awaiting backorder of LED displays from Mouser (just pushed from this month to next month! Grrr)

I have about half of the kits sorted (can't complete more due to the backorders).  I am averaging about 6 kits an hour for sorting.

I am headed to the Shenandoah Mountains for a Men's Retreat with my church so I will not have access to phone or internet until late Sunday.

Update 008  - 03/17/2013

Major Activity:
 - Recieved all USPS boxes
 - Completed sorting of half of the kits

Awaiting:
 - Receipt of PCBs
 - Receipt of Heatsinks
 - Receipt of backorder of 16 port terminal blocks from Mouser (due 3/21)
 - Receipt of backorder (218 remain) of 8 segement LEDs from Mouser (now due April)
 - Continue sorting Kits as orders and backorders come in.
 - Shipping
 - Close out COOP

Notes:
 - Once I get the PCBs and Heatsinks from RJ, I will be able to ship out the first half of the members orders (based on payment order).  My best guess on this is that I will be able to ship them out this next week.  The family and I are going to be out-of-pocket during holy week (week after next), so the shipping may actually begin in the first week of April (assuming the PCBs and heatsinks arrive).  The second half of the members will be taken care of once the backorders come in which is looking around mid April.  So -- HOPEFULLY -- all kits will be out and arrive by the end of April.

- I will be posting pictures of the electronic layout that I used for shipping.  This is so you guys know your way around the various chips, as these are being placed in high-density foam to prevent the pins from bending.  To maximize use of foam, I grouped the chips into logical areas, however, the chips are not individually labeled.  I will use the pictures, with arrows to explain the layout so you know which chip is which on these foam blocks.  I have worked hard to make sure the labeling and packaging are both logical and easy and I am fairly certain the layout on these foam blocks will make sense as well.

If at any time you need to contact me for any reason, please PM me.  I will attempt to get back to you as soon as I am able!

Thanks,

Kurt

Title: Re: 1st Lynx Express v5 COOP for 2013 - ** No longer accepting orders **
Post by: kgustafson on March 17, 2013,
One side of the foam components look like this (these will be in a silver lined anti-static bag.  Note that there should be ONE per LynxExpress kit you ordered):

(http://gustafsonlights.com/images/DSCF1048.JPG)

This will have:
 -  3 X 8 position LED displays
 -  16 X MOC 3023 (optocouplers) chips
 - 1 X PIC chip. 

The MOC chips are 6 pin (not to be confused with the H11A1 Optocoupler transistor input - which is also 6 pin and on the other side).  If in doubt about a 6 pin chip, look for the tiny print on the chip itself.  it will either have 3023 (MOC) or H11A1 (the Octo trans input chip).

The other side will look something like this:

(http://gustafsonlights.com/images/DSCF1049.JPG)

This has the following chips:

- 1 X LED Display driver chip (big chip)
- 2 X ST485BN line driver chips (8 pin chip)
- 1 X H11A1 Optocoupler transistor input chip (6 pin chip)
- 17 X 6 pin IC Sockets

I really think the only real area that could trip you up is if you mix the MOC chips and the H11A1 chips (as they are both 6 pin).  Be careful.

I also just got notification that the backordered headers are shipping today as well.  They should ALSO be here in a few days.

The only outstanding (backorder) I have is the 8 position LED displays.  They are due in early April (grrr).

All,

Since I am very close to begin shipping, I need for everyone who receives their kits, to check out what was shipped.  In the least, pull out the manifest (it will be a one sheeter at the top of the shipping container inside the shipping box) and check all the baggies and sub baggies to make sure all the parts match up to the manifest.  The PCB, heatsink, and transformer (the big square 6 pin beast) are the only things on the manifest that DOES NOT have a specific label.  double check that you are not missing any labeled thing.  I don't expect everyone to look to make sure you get the correct number of items (especially for the TRIACs, LEDs, etc. since these can number in the hundreds) before the build.  It is very possible that I mis-counted somewhere.  If you find yourself short of something -- for whatever the reason -- please contact me ASAP via PM on DLA.  I will work as quickly as possible to correct any mistakes and get whatever you might need as soon as I am able to.  This also means that you may not be building your stuff until months from now (if you are like me you will not do any builds until July! LOL), it doesn't matter how long it has been, just let me know if I made a mistake and I will fix it.

Did I mention, make sure you got the right number of orders, and that you should check your manifest to your bagged and tagged parts?  Yes?!  Okay.  Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks,

Kurt

I just finished boxing, labeling, and shipping 40+ orders (around half).  I will try to update the list (second post on first page of this forum) with the exact folks who are shipped later tonight.

The others are awaiting a backorder of 8 part LED displays that are due in early April.  I apologize to the folks that are affected by the delay.  I am working to get all the orders out as soon as humanly possible.

On a side note, I will be out next week during my kids' spring break.  We will be in Williamsburg VA enjoying the sites and a much needed family retreat. I will be monitoring the forum, but probably won't be very active.

One of the COOP members asked me what the backordered part was.  It is the 8-segment LED display (there are three used in the Lynx Express) that shows the address number and also shows a boot-up message when you first power on the unit.  It looks like those old time digital watch displays (I think they called it crystal LED or something like that).  The mouser part is 604-SA04-11GWA (http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=SA04-11GWAvirtualkey60400000virtualkey604-SA04-11GWA (http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=SA04-11GWAvirtualkey60400000virtualkey604-SA04-11GWA)).  I also see by their website that the delivery date has been pushed yet again.  Now it looks like 4/26.  Driving me crazy!

Digikey has them in stock, but you have already probally put the order in with mouser, and waiting fro them to get the displays in.

hollandlights,
Thanks, I am aware of Digikey's stockpile.  I have been working with Mouser to see if I can back out of the backorder.  If I am successful, I will get those from Digikey so the delay will only be a week or so (when I get back from vacation).  The other issue is that Digikey's product is more expensive.  It has been one of the reasons I have delayed going this route.   There is about a $1 difference between the two.  Mouser is $.56 per and Digikey is $.88 per (and we need 3 per order).

You are correct about Christmas. However, my wife wants her dining room back, so i have to expedite if possible.  I am going to use the digikey product, as my contingency funds for the coop can handle the price delta.

I expect to have the next and last round of shipping come in mid-April as originally planned.

I am speechless.  I've participated in a couple of other co-ops and, not there was absolutely anything wrong with any of the others, but you win the prize for organization. Label upon label, baggie upon baggie.. Wow man... Thank you.  I'm sure those who are just putting their kits together for the first time will really find this helpful. 

Kit recieved and all is accounted for..

Thank you!

Got mine today and started putting it together.  Was thrown off by the 5 banded 1% 120 ohm resistor.  It's different from the instructions but a quick check with the ohm meter indicated 119.2 and the DigiKey color code calculator confirmed.

Great job on the packaging!  Very well labeled and packed.  Thanks for doing such a great job.  Hope to have mine assembled by tomorrow evening.  Will let you know how it goes.  Thanks, again!

Glad to hear that folks are getting their stuff and it seems in order.  Let me state again.  If you find that you are missing ANYTHING, please do not hesitate to PM me.  I will make sure it gets corrected quickly.  There are a lot of parts that I have been dealing with (over 35 thousand) and it is easy to make a mistake.   I do recommend that when unpacking and building your kits, that you do not throw anything away as it would be easy to misplace a part or a small baggie within the packing material.

For the half of the members who have not received your kits yet:  Sit tight.  Your time will come soon.  I will be back on vacation and fully expect a box from Digikey to be waiting for me with the Mouser backorder.  Mouser confirmed with me that they are backing out the 298 LED displays from my order (the backorder we had).  So it is all being fixed.  It will probably take me about a week to finish the sorting, packing, and shipping.  It is my goal to get these out by mid-April.

Thanks,

Kurt

Jamie,

Sorry about the missing pieces. The heatsinks were contracted out and i haven't bothered to check them. Perhaps i need to. As to the extra led, i must've mis-counted. No real biggie as i have over 100 extras due to many other projects i have done.

Okay,

I have all boxed and labeled except for six packages.

two are for members who have not set up Paypal correctly and Paypal claims that you do not have addresses (I will PM these two members to get me an address)

Four are for my international shipping (which requires weighing, customs forms and extra work that I will do tomorrow).  Some of my international members did not tell me they were international, so I may be PMing a couple to get the additional postage due.  Don't sweat it though, as I will get all the remaining boxes out tomorrow and I will settle up the cost differences later via PMs.

I only have ONE unsent box due to no address in paypal (PM has been sent to the member) and ONE that a member is going to pickup (he is local to me).  All internationals were sent as well today (I had 4 - 3 in Canada and 1 in Australia).  I have one person who needed a Heatsink which I have and am awaiting to hear from him (I have PM'd him).

I will leave this forum open for another two weeks just in case anyone has questions or issues.  This COOP is winding down.  I thank you all for your patience with me and patience with the little hiccup we had with the 8 segment LED displays.  Overall this was a real fun experience for myself and I hope you all had a good experience as well.  I will be updating the table to reflect the shipping later today.

I will state again for the record:  I KNOW that some members will take months before they crack open and work their kits from this COOP.  I have extra parts (by design) for the small inexpensive stuff (aka stuff that costs less than $0.10).  I did not end up with extras on the expensive stuff (which means I probably got my counts correct).  If you find months from now that you are missing anything, please let me know.  I will do everything to correct it as soon as possible.

I am still waiting to hear from two members (the one for the heatsink and the one who's address I need still).

Thanks,

Kurt

The post office has been great!

I had two different shipping times for them.

The first was 40 boxes (pre-addressed and stamped)
The second was for 42 boxes (38 pre-addressed and stamped, 4 had to go through the paperwork, weigh-in and stamping for international)

The first shipment took all of 15 minutes (They let me borrow a mail trolley)

The second took about an hour due to the international (not that I minded -- but the postal clerk was not really in a hurry that day! LOL)

I have ordered 100 nuts as it seems these are what every one is missing (for those that are missing the nuts).  Without any pun intended, let me know if you are missing your nuts and I will send them out to you as soon as possible.  Just give me a count.

I talked with the postal clerk about the changes in shipping to Canada (maybe you guys already knew, but postage to Canada actually decreased this last year from the US).  She mentioned that the USPS had figured out a way to piggy-back on shipments north and south to maximize efficiency and lower costs.  I guess this is part of that efficiency.

Hope so....just for awareness the tax man visits with the mail guy....and collects HST (our state/federal tax rolled into one - harmonized sales tax) from you at the door. have exact change or a credit card on hand. I was expecting this part...so maybe some of the efficiency comes from offloading that tax work to the last guy...it's good to get the box sooner, but i'd rather have paid all my money up front.

regardless, don't matter, i have myself two LE kits in hand and some work ahead of me now :) i'm excited. thanks again!

Quick note for anyone building these to run 240V.

The PCB has changed slightly and the 330ohm resistors are no longer required to swap out 16 of the 180ohm resistors. Instead now you need 16x 100KOhm 1/2W resistors to replace the 16x 47KOhm ones. Not a problem, but something that could trip you up.

This is a good point.  Perhaps for future COOPs we have a 240V option, as we are increasing our non-US membership.

This is not correct!

You still need to change the 180 resistors to 330 ohm. You also need to change the 47k to 100k!

This is important.

Hey Kurt,

Again, great job on the coop. One thing though. In the 5 kits I didn't get any nuts for the TRIAC / heat sink. No big deal I needed an excuse to go to ACE hardware.

Hey Kurt,

Please do not do that.  I have lock nuts that I purchased for this reason.  For some reason, there were missing lock nuts in the heatsink kits.  Let me know how many you need.  Do you need 5 X 16?  I think I have 80.

Okay,

I sent out the wrong size locknuts to some folks (bakerlights and Orion).  They should have been 6-32s and I sent 4-40s.  I will sending you guys the correct size today.  Sorry about that.  Tomwb301 and nvizzini, you will be getting the correct size locknuts.

Me neither, but I am not worried. If I procrastinate long enough, worst case I have to go the the hardware store.... Wait I go there every weekend anyway!  <fp.

I think we can move this to Finished COOPs now.  Everyone has received their orders and I think we have the locknut situation fixed.
