Title: Etherdongle (EtD) COOP *** Closed for Orders ****
Post by: kgustafson on August 25, 2012,

This Coop is for the Lynx EtherDongle.

*********************************************************************************
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 case.
You will receive all the parts you need to build a complete EtherDongle including the machined case. The Two main chips which are surface mount will be soldered on the PCB for you when you receive it so there is no surface mount for you to deal with.

Please keep in mind that this Coop will take longer than others because of the time required to get the PCBs processed and the cases machined.

Information can be found here:
http://www.diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=EtherDongleUse (http://www.diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=EtherDongleUse)
http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?board=41.0 (http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?board=41.0)
*********************************************************************************
The Coop will be limited to 150 kits.

This Coop will close on September 5th at 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time or when it fills its limit of 150 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.

Forum Coop rules
http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=111.0 (http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=111.0)

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

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.

EtherDongle Kit With PCB, parts and case.
Per Kit At Qty 100 - $93.94

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. All orders will require at least a medium flat rate box since the cases will not fit in a smaller box.

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

Post by: Night Owl on September 01, 2012,

Actually I am a bit surprised that we haven't reached the limit yet.  I already have an EtD but I wanted one as a backup.  I waited a couple of days before requesting one in this coop to allow others who didn't have one yet to get a chance.  Maybe others are doing the same?  I'll bet that once the Conductor comes out there will be a bunch of people looking for an EtD.

Thanks again, Kurt.

I do not want to clutter kurt coop with post but I need to make sure no one can complian at me later. This is it for ETD's this year so if you are waiting then you are missing out. We will have more next year but they take more to setup than a normal coop so no more this year.

I will tell you, DO NOT wait for the conductor to come out if you want an EtD built before the conductor COOP happens.  If you want an EtD this year, this is the COOP you should be participating in.

Please make sure to check your orders twice on the listing on the first page (I will be adding the couple of late additions later tonight, so no sweat to the newest members).

I will leave this open until all orders are shipped for two reasons:  One, to keep you all informed of progress from this point and two, to provide an area where you guys can provide feedback if I get something wrong (which invariably will happen *smile*)

Okay I have gotten all the quotes in.  This is good news.  Bad news is that some of the items went up in price (I hate that!).  The cases are almost $.20 more than before. I also did not have all the final shipping and packaging costs in the original cost.  End result.  The estimate on cost is actually about 40 cents lower than actual.  Hopefully this wont kill you guys.  Final cost per unit is $94.41 not including shipping (which will be medium flat box rate for most everyone -- including the 5 order folks -- I think I can get all 5 in one box!).  PMs to go out shortly.

For those wanting insurance:  Make sure you insure for $95 worth of product.  This comes to $2.35 for one, $2.90 for two units, and $7.05 for 5 units (this represents insurance for $95, $190, and $475 respectively).

The sooner we get payments in, the sooner I can order everything!

If you have paid via paypal and your name is not showing up on page 1 (post #2) as paid, please let me know.  Sometimes Paypal makes mistakes.  Sometimes your COOP manager misses a message because he is distracted by three screaming children or is suffering from lack of sleep due to crazy coding projects.

Remember that there may have been communication via pm between the coop manager and the users that we don't see here. Someone could be out of town, in hospital, ect. Usually after a reasonable amount of time the coop manager will offer the unpaid units to someone else on a first come first serve basis. Or they could just order fewer kits.

Tailan,

No sweat.  Appreciate you sending the money.

I hope everyone realizes that I post things like the percent complete and the like for information and to be a subtle reminder that payments are due.  I am not a pressure guy, but will let everyone in the COOP know where we stand so every member knows were we are in the process.  So far, this COOP has been running very smoothly (okay, now I have jinxed it!) I cannot begin to thank everyone in the COOP for making it so smooth!

All coops are well run.  Some stand out for their packaging (you might even call them obsessive in their attention to detail by wrapping each set of parts as separate units).

All,

I just realized (thanks to one of the members of this COOP) that my excel spreadsheet did something wonky and went back to a revision prior to the dropping of the 4 members for non-payment.  I do not want any of the add-ons to panic (even if your name disappeared from the list). I will get this fixed shortly and get the listing corrected.  I generate the table on the 2nd message on this forum from Excel.  I had an issue with my macbook pro that probably caused the version issues.  Anyways, I will have that corrected today.

Thanks for your patience.

Kurt

Title: Re: Etherdongle (EtD) COOP *** Closed for Orders ****
Post by: kgustafson on October 16, 2012,

Okay, I think I straightened everything out.  Please check to make sure that you are listed if you have not received your kits yet.

I know that Lburnham and sabie were two that were not on the list but should have been (it is corrected now).

Also note, you may see folks getting their packages already and you may be wondering where is mine.  Be patient.  I can only package so much each day.  Also, we still have some parts outstanding (I have a partial order on PCBs still out.)  I am shipping in the order in which I received payment.  If you were a late payer or a person added late to the COOP you will be receiving your kits last.  There is one person -- Voltorb who has received a partial order, the other two will ship when I get to them in order (in the order I received the later payment for the additional 2 ETDs.)

Make sure that you check your order when you receive it.  Take the manifest and make sure you have the parts that you should.  I am only human and I do make mistakes (as do my special elves that help out from time to time).  If you do have an issue, please PM me or feel free to discuss on this forum as I will check both daily.  You are also free to email me directly on the account that you paid your paypal on (kgustafson2@gmail.com) as this is my personal email.  I want to make sure to be notified of issues so I can rectify them as quickly as possible.

Thanks,

Kurt

it rewards early payment, and is an incentive for others to consider this in future coops.
early payment benefits everyone because it allows for early ordering of parts.

All,

I am trying to get as much shipped before Sunday as possible.  I am hopeful that I will have cleared everything that I have parts for (so far that is 120 kits).  However, there is a distinct possibility I will not make my deadline.  Why is this important?  Because I am going on a business trip to Orlando for a week and I really don't want to delay everyone a week, if I can avoid it.  (I will be at the Gartner ITExpo if anyone else is going!)  I am telling you now, so that you know if you were one of the later payees, you may not get your stuff until near Halloween.  I apologize if that really puts a damper on your Halloween plans for your show.

Again, I will do everything possible to try to get it all out before I leave Sunday PM, but I want you to know now that this may not happen.

All,

I have good news and bad news.

First the good.  I was able to ship out 51 boxes over the weekend and fill all the orders that completes the first 120 PCBs that I have. 

Now the bad.  I haven't received the final 23 PCBs which means there are 21 of you folks who have not had your COOP order shipped yet.  I expect they will arrive this week.  I will be out of town the entire week on travel for work, so realistically, these orders will be going out the week after next.  This is the week of halloween.

Thank you,

Kurt

I had issues with the power adapter not fitting the board on all five of mine.  The sides were very snug going into the holes and I had to curve the edges a little.  The back tab on all of them were too big.  I had to take my snippers and trim a little off the tab in order for it to fit.  I assembled all of them and tested so I know it worked.  I just made sure to put some extra solder on all the power tabs to make sure it got a good connection to the board and tabs.

Title: Re: Etherdongle (EtD) COOP *** Closed for Orders ****
Post by: Jeffl on October 21, 2012,

I need to retract my statement above.  I thought I read DC/DC converter chip. 

The DC inlet adapter does have one leg that is too large but as stated above looks like it can be modified easily with a wire cutter to slim it down without too much trouble.

Title: Re: Etherdongle (EtD) COOP *** Closed for Orders ****
Post by: kgustafson on October 21, 2012,

Okay.  I have gotten confirmation that the power module will probably be an issue with most people, but it is easily remedied as mentioned above.  The back tab may need to be trimmed down which can be done using a good pair of clippers (like the pair you use to remove your excess leads).  There may be some jiggering of the tabs themselves to get them to align as well.  The key is to make sure you have the tabs of the dc power unit make contact with the hole in the PCB and that you have a well soldered joint there.  The technology being used is very low tech and very forgiving and does not require finesse soldering to make happen.  Sorry that you all have to go through this extra step, however, this should not be a major obstacle for the DIY in all of you!

for the conductor. It should prevent you from having to bend the pins if you use a conductor/slave pcb on it.

The DC plug had to be substituted as they one for is not being made any longer. The newer one is the closest one we could find. It will work it takes a little tweaking to get in. The pcb will be modified on future units to handle the new part number but was these pcb were made for the previous part.

Not sure what RJ was talking about if you are using a conductor you will not need to modify.
But I will see when I get the conductor.

Not sure what RJ was talking about if you are using a conductor you will not need to modify.
But I will see when I get the conductor.

The original design of the Etherdongle had a straight 6 pin (non-angled) ICSP header that you would have to bend to get it to fit with a daughter board (like the conductor).  In the latest release of parts (for this COOP) we shipped with an angled ICSP part to avoid you having to bend the part itself. The only side-effect of this change is that you will not be able to program the board easily when it is seated in the case with the mounting screws.  So make sure to program your board PRIOR to seating it into the enclosure.

Mine's built and working great.  ;D  As with a few other people I had to squish/cut the back and side terminal on the dc connector but I had a feeling I was going to have that issue with my wireless tx/rx having the same problem.

I managed to figure out that I hadn't flashed my tx/rx  <fp.
The most interesting part was that the expresses wouldn't accept a hardline feed from the etherdongle with the wireless module installed on the express board. I hope that is by design and not a build error on my part.

At least it only took one night to figure out haha.

The packaging was phenomenal!  <res.

I have a solution for those who are concerned about the right angle 6-pin bracket and not being able to program without removing the unit from the enclosure.  You can attach an 6-pin extension to the right angle with a ribbon cable using a product such as this one: http://evilmadscience.com/productsmenu/partsmenu/586 (http://evilmadscience.com/productsmenu/partsmenu/586).  All you would need is a straight 6-pin connector to complete one end of the cable and attach the other to your 90 degree bent 6 pin bracket.  You could leave the cable attached somewhere in the enclosure (secure it so it does not rest on the PCB) or the more intrepid could actually find a way to mount it on the inside of the case.  I, for one, will not be doing this as I find as soon as I get the unit programmed and working, I seldom need to reflash it.  Just wanted to pass along as research I have found as I was asked about this particular challenge.

I have a solution for those who are concerned about the right angle 6-pin bracket and not being able to program without removing the unit from the enclosure.  You can attach an 6-pin extension to the right angle with a ribbon cable using a product such as this one: http://evilmadscience.com/productsmenu/partsmenu/586 (http://evilmadscience.com/productsmenu/partsmenu/586).  All you would need is a straight 6-pin connector to complete one end of the cable and attach the other to your 90 degree bent 6 pin bracket.  You could leave the cable attached somewhere in the enclosure (secure it so it does not rest on the PCB) or the more intrepid could actually find a way to mount it on the inside of the case.  I, for one, will not be doing this as I find as soon as I get the unit programmed and working, I seldom need to reflash it.  Just wanted to pass along as research I have found as I was asked about this particular challenge.

If you get your Pickit 3 with the adpater ZIF kit from J1sys on ebay (a popular seller of these), it comes with one of these 6 pin calbes.

We weathered the storm just fine.  Our power was out about half a day which is much better than most.  The biggest hassle was the large tree that decided to sleep in the road leading out from my house.  Good news is that each neighbor has a nice cord of firewood for the winter now.  We did just fine compared to others.  The water did come up the back yard but did not make it all the way to basement walk-out, so we were okay.  Life has returned to normal in our neighborhood.

The only damage was not being able to do my Halloween show (was going to show off my three triaxial talking skulls this year).  I guess I will just have to redress those talking skulls into elves or something! LOL.  I have a feeling (due to major time commitments through December) my show is going to be very light this year.  Just means my next year's show will be bigger than ever! *smile*

Got my EtD when I got back from vacation... Put it together, programmed the pic and tried it... Worked first time (unlike the issue [totally MY fault] I had w/my first EtD)...

Thanks, Kurt, for all your efforts !!!

Just to be clear, the ICSP header is now bent and I would assume (bad thing to do) based previous conversation the pins should point outwards on the board and no to the inside of the board.

Yes, to access it when the other board is attached.

And just to say it another way for those that come behind me, the short pins should be soldiered.  The longer bent pins should hangover the 4.7k resistor just above the ICSP.

IMPORTANT

If you have NOT received your kit yet, please PM me.  If you have, no need to PM me or notify me (I will assume you got it unless you PM me otherwise.)  I will wait two days to hear from everyone.  After this time, if I have not received any PMs about no kits, I will close this board down.

Thanks,

Kurt
