I came home today and found a Mouser box waiting for me - the ESD foam for shipping the chips in this coop (I wanted to buy it before they sold out) and the resistors (I needed them for another project and they are enough in lots of 100 or 200 so that's what I buy if I need more than one or two of a value).   Oh and LED drivers and micro-SD sockets for another project...

There are just 12 more days left in this coop.

OK, the coop is closed.  I'll send out PMs with the totals as soon as I verify that component costs haven't gone up.  Thanks.

PMs just went out.  The cost ended up being $6.50 per kit.

I just picked up a package from the post office - the PCBs are here; as soon as the parts arrive, I will build one to make sure there are no issues, and to take pictures for the assembly guide.

Hi Mike,
Can you tell us more about your LED PCB/Project?

Humm... Seems very interesting : 16 led per modul?

Cheers,  Henri ;)

In addition to the soldering kits, I also got some protos for another project I am playing with.  The LED boards are for a snowfall light; I will post more about them once I get one set loaded and some code written for them.  And for the sharp-eyed folks out there, the last mystery board was a double RJ45 breakout (2 connectors in parallel, broken out to header strips), for breadboarding or for my status display, since I forgot the input connector on them  ::)

I (with a lot of help from my daughter Alyssa) finished sorting the parts for the through-hole kits.  Tomorrow I will start sorting the SMT ones.  I'm exhausted after 50 kits with 25 parts each; I don't know how JJ and RJ survive the 100-500 kit sorting.
