I'm thinking I should start a Web site called "last10percent" where guys can trade off on the last 10 percent of their projects. When you're just doing the grout on someone else's tile job - no big deal. After all, you've made the million trips to the hardware store, pulled the old floor up, laid the new subfloor, put on the leveling compound, set the tile - by this time you're sick of the project. I've found that trading the last 10 percent of big jobs with friends works really well and makes the wife happy. I know you're in the UK. I'm also an optimist and think cardboard templates sent in the mail might actually work. In the real world, you kind of need to have the car. Sorry to hear about your cat. I had to take my 16 year old cat in not long ago.

That's a brilliant idea! There'll be no shortage of work since I have about 30,000%'s lying about. I love to "get it done", just not with projects that drag on for years.
It's like "Freecycle" meets "Pay It Forward".

Just an update here. The majority of the extenders from the second batch have now been shipped. We still have 5 PCBs laying around and unclaimed though.

Yes yours was sent. Everyone whose boards were shipped should have received or be receiving a notice in their e-mail.

Yep - mine appears to be in ELLENDALE at the moment....
Hmm, how come UPS et al can't do a real-time link to Google maps?

Ellendale is the location of our local post office. The status will probably not change until it is delivered unfortunately. . USPS is actually much worse about tracking than UPS and other private shippers as far as tracking goes because they do not control carriers outside of the US. Weird thing is that even inside the US, USPS tracking is very lacking in detail. Stu

In the UK I've had parcels delivered before the post office tracking even acknowledges a parcel exists!!
(which sounds good until you realise you have to be at home to sign for it!)
Anyhow I'm now dreading starting the install...

Just to clarify, do you mean that you have sent emails to everyone or that you are still in the process of sending them ?

I've instructed the postal system to notify each recipient. I gather that you have not received an e-mail notice? Yours was amongst those shipped yesterday. To be sure I will e-mail everyone later today since USPS seems to be unreliable in their e-mail delivery. Also, I've thrown together a crude manual describing how to properly connect everything up. A print out is or will be included with each board and will also be available online at: http://www.eutronix.com/media/xtdr.pdfEnjoy, Stu

The dispaly does work when connected directly to the device.
There is no voltage between the 25 and 19 pins on the Tx board.
I was going to get a light set for this critter anyway. I'd be happy to send the whole rig in for that and pay for the repair or the undoing of my hamfisted install job.
I have his extender and Empeg here and found the problem. It seems the 3 volt fuse blew at some point. The display will work without it, but not completely or normally as certain components in the display such as the IR require 3 volts. The extenders need 3 volts for operation at all so this was the problem.

Mine arrived 2 days ago as well - nicely packed box with lots of anti-shock material. Unfortunately no spare time at the moment to install, will have to wait one or two months.... Stu, thanks for the effort.

Yes, unfortunately some recent security patches have broken the server and it is taking longer than expected to resurrect everything. Hopefully we will be back online shortly.
I'll post to let everyone know when it's back.

Hi Andy,
Did you ever receive a tracking number? I can PM it to you if you like. As near as I can tell no one from the UK has received their extenders. There were only two of you thus far anyway though. Yours supposedly arrived in the UK on July 5th, so hopefully you see it soon.
Hope this helps,
Stu

No I never did get my tracking number, but to be honest it could easily have been lost in a mass or spam (or filtered out by a spam filter).

I'm suspecting quantum entanglement or something.... My display is apparently still in Ellendale *AND* at my local sorting office awaiting pickup (and money-grabbing customs duty - ugh!) Funny, I'd have thought teleportation would have been quicker....

Parcel Force gladly delayed and returned an expensive package I sent to the UK recently. I'm a little sore about the headaches they're causing me.
My extender came in maybe a week ago. Still have yet to take it out of the box. Considering I won't need it until 2011, I'm not too rushed.
Thanks again.

I should say then that Parcel Force managed to deliver my extended intact, though for some reason that I don't understand they left it with a neighbour four doors away.

I've been at home before when the postman came knocking on the door to find somebody nearby to take a parcel. He really must not have wanted to lug it back with him as it was supposed to be for a house half way down the street.
