I rechecked the posts like three times  "did he really mention this was going out monday?"  then i was like, "well if he sends it monday, i should get it wednesday" i checked outside this morning, as was like "i don't get mail this early" then i checked it this afternoon "still not there"    then i saw people saying they got theirs and ran to the front door. " still not in the mailbox.   as i was closing the door, i looked down. it was right by the front door!!!

Received mine today - THANK YOU guys so much!!!

One complaint which SOCKED me  <yk.. - The tape on the cases (Box Tape) wasn't the easiest to remove and left a little resedue (was able to remove with elbow grease).  Wish it had a "tab" at the end of it or used painters tape or less adhesive - I have a feeling this was applied by the case company just doesn't feel RJ standard.  But AWSOME and THANK YOU so much!!!!!

a word to the wise... the PCB has 4 resistor locations marked 49.9  and the kit has 4 - 49.9K resistors. (Member L8teron caught this)  I am sure RJ will straighten us out on this.  I would hold off installing those 4 resistors until this is resolved.

I got mine today also!  Thanks RJ and JJ!!!

PK, Thanks for the heads up.  I just looked in the build instructions and it clearly says 49.9 ohm and what I got was a 49.9 K.

Did anyone get an email that the EtherDongle shipped?  I have always got one in the past.  Not this time though.

trekster - RJ made a post stating that they (JJ and RJ) had everything ready to ship and it would go out on Monday.

Yes this appears to be a pulling error from mouser. The order was for 49.9 ohm and I just check we did receive 49.9K on the reel.

do not install them I will have to get the correct ones ordered and send them out. It is important we use the proper resistors on these. 49.9K will not function correctly.

Rick can you please post something in the wiki about this maybe in the maunal or somewhere to stop people from installing the incorrect resistors.

Innovation beats imitation - and it's more satisfying
