Wait a bit on that. Frank emailed me that he is going to go over the BOM to make sure all the part numbers are current and correct and get back to me. I hope to hear something today or tomorrow.

I suspect Steve already saw that list of parts since it's on the web page he referenced.  What I bet he is looking for is matching that list to actual parts he can order, say from Mouser.  If you're a real novice at electronics it may not be the easiest task to match the described part to a specific item at Mouser (and be confident you got it right).  I bet if you search for 100nF capacitor at Mouser you'll get quite a list.

May be best to wait for Franks feedback.

In your conversations with Frank, did he indicate whether he had plans to restock the PCB at his site?

I talked to Frank last week and picked up the last of his boards.  He said that he will not reorder for quite awhile unless there is demand.  I am putting together a request total from this forum as well as a couple Halloween ones.

I would probably be in for 2 boards, I'm planning on placing a mouser order soon and that's why I'm looking for part numbers from mouser.

Thanks Steve

I think I've got some boards I never bought the parts for.   If anyone is interested in them I could be persuaded to part with them.  Let me go find them and figure out how many I have.

Looks like I have 4 boards, no parts.  If anybody wants them I'd let you have them for $9 a piece and I'll split the shipping.

Let me know.

How much for shipping to the UK?

here what I came up with, in my mouser search if any one as the time to look it up and see if I made a  mistake in my search.

I would be in for 2 boards in a future coop.

Put me down for 4.

See if I added 2 stepper motors to this setup instead of using a servo, what kind of stuff could I do? I was thinking of making a white laser so then I have make different colors and I didn't just want to do something simple with this laser if I was going to spend so much on building it. I was thinking of maybe making it write something or make patterns, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas, I know how to add the parts to make the board run a stepper motor its just what can I do with it that would be better than a servo.

A stepper motor is a whole different animal from a servo and is a whole lot more complicated to work with. 

[soakes94]

The DMX servo board says it can work with stepper motors which can be pisitioned at 1.8 degree intervals. Am I right in thinking I can move to these positions at quick intervals with a mirror on the x and y axes and then create more interesting effects like a liquid sky and things like that? That's what I think I can do but I'm not sure.
