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

Here is the pricing breakdown based on the initial quote from the vendor. 
Pricing is in US Dollars and includes PayPal and Co-Op fees.

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 Co-Op. Below this number, we will not make the order.

Kit #1 16 CH Controller PCB With Parts.
Per Kit At Qty 50 - $42.22

Kit #2 16 CH Controller Parts ONLY
Per Kit At Qty 50 - $35.64
 
This is an estimate. As always higher numbers reduce pricing and lower numbers increase pricing. 

Shipping will be by US Postal Service Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes.  One to two kits should fit in a small box. Larger orders will require a medium box.

Shipping Charges: for the "Small" flat rate box. (In US Dollars)
Domestic: $5.20
Canada and Mexico: $11.95
All Others: $13.95

Shipping Charges: for the "Medium" flat rate box. (In US Dollars)
Domestic: $10.70   
Canada and Mexico: $26.95
All Others: $43.45

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 Co-Op thread. Start a new thread in the correct area for these. Co-Op 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.

If you have any questions please post a new thread to help keep the Co-Op thread clean.

Thanks,
Rick P.

I'm confused, what does this controller do? I assume power standard 50W MR16 lamps? How do I add them to my display? I know they dont like getting wet because they will crack and fail. I can't see any reason to use MR16 lamps? Please give me some ideas.
Thanks.

Maybe people use them to uplight or downlight their house or trees. Most use MR16 LED's and build their oun enclosures.
Enclosures vary from cheap plastic cups to PVC pipe.

The controller can be used for other things besides the MR16 lamps. It can control almost any DC device (7-24 volts DC) up to 2.5 amps per channel and 35 amps total.

This final cost was as follows:

$37.22 for Kit #1 – Parts and PCB
$30.63 for Kit #2 – Parts only

The price was $5.00 less than the original quoted price.

The total savings was approximately $17.00 per kit.

That makes the total savings for the Co-Op  $1615.

I ran into an issue with the Co-Op pricing.

Mouser charges sales tax in Indiana (where I live). This was not included on the quote and was not included in the payment calculations. Since this is my first Co-Op, I did not think to include it.

The tax would be $182 which works out to about $1.95 per kit or slightly over $2 with PayPal fees.

I need to know if everyone is OK with paying the extra amount. If not, the only other option is to cancel the Co-Op.

If we decide to pay the extra amount and continue with the Co-Op, I will need to place order the soon. Some of the prices have already increased and if I don't get the order submitted before the quote expires, the cost will be even more.

I actually have enough to cover the parts order, but I would need the extra amount to cover the shipping. So, I would not necessarily need the extra payment until the parts are ready to ship.

I apologize for the error and the inconvenience for everyone.

Please let me know how everyone wants to proceed.

Thanks,
Rick

I'm OK with the increase Rick for my order.

Would it be feasible to have the parts sent to another pre-existing coop manager and shipped on to you?  Might end up costing less than shipping it to you and paying sales tax.  Food for thought!

Would it be feasible to have the parts sent to another pre-existing coop manager and shipped on to you?  Might end up costing less than shipping it to you and paying sales tax.

This would only work if they charge the sales tax according to the shipping address and not the billing address. It would also require someone to turn around and ship the parts to me. I don't really want to put that on someone else.

Rick,

You are doing the right thing.  The issue (really a non-issue) was one where mouser didn't include what they should have when you got the quote.  No real big deal.  I think all DIYers will not mind paying a few dollars more (vice the pain and time lag of having to restart the COOP - not to mention the amount of effort you have already put into it!)  Well worth a few bucks more to avoid all that agony!

If there are any of these left available, I would like to get in.  I have been reading this board for days now and think I would like to wade into this pool.  I guess I need also to get a DMX - USB dongle right to get started.  Correct me if I am wrong please.  I plan on driving strings of discrete LEDs with this.

Hopefully the PCBs will be here Wed. or Thurs.

I have the kits in boxes ready to go. So, once I get the PCBs, I will finish packing them and get them out.

Unfortunately, the Co-Op has already closed and I cannot add any orders at this time.

However, you can get PCBs from RJ and buy the parts from Mouser yourself. There are also some kits posted for sale in the Sale/Trade section.

You are correct. You would need a Dongle also.

Received my co-op shipment today.  What a great job organizing and packaging!  Let me know the next time you are running a co-op, I'll order no matter what it is.  ;D

Most of the kits have shipped. I still have a few left that will go out on Monday.

I want to let everyone know before they start building their boards that the kits have extra resistors. Because of the price break it was cheaper to buy 200 resistors than to buy 95. So, I put an one extra of each resistor in each kit. So, don't be concerned if you have resistors left over when you finish building your boards.

Next time I will include some newspaper just for you. It probably won't have any completed crosswords though.

hi,

i've just started putting my MR16 boards together and have a couple of questions.

in the co-op i received a bag of 1.2K resistors but theres no marking on the boards where they should go. am i supposed to be using them at all?

also, i got 10 of all resistors (except the ones that go above the spade terminals) but i only ordered 5 boards/kits. am i supposed to be using those for something or were they included for another reason (to make co-op cheaper?).

thanks, scott

The last package has finally been delivered.

Since I have not heard any issues from anyone, this Co-Op is complete and can be moved to the finished Co-Op section.

Thanks to everyone for making this Co-Op successful.
