No, it's totally through-hole construction. Some of the components (resistors, mainly) are pretty small due to lack of space on the board(s), but there is no surface mount assemble involved.

Patrick, is there going to be a signing-up sheet on here? Or a separate website. Will this be the 1st place to look in any case?

The way it's probably going to work is that I will set up a website with information, downloads, and order taking as soon as I am ready to start shipping. The credit card facilities I will start with are explicitly not usable via the web, IE they say that I am not allowed to accept CC numbers via email. It has to be done via mail or phone. The secure web site CC facilities cost considerably more if the turnover isn't very large, and at least at first I'm trying to keep the costs down.

However, in many ways this is a good thing. It is at least more secure. I will take orders via email, inculding a vaild phone number and time offset. When the order is ready to go out, I will phone the person in question and get the CC number, charge it, and ship the product. This pretty much assures that the number can't go adrift in the net, and that I haven't been given a fraudulent number.

Anyway, I am still waiting for PCBs, which will be a couple of weeks. I'll announce the availability of the tuners here when they're ready.

no probs dude, Im in NZ too, I can probably assemble it for you, along wiv da fee, I work for a laptop repair co, we do board level repairs as well, so have most equipment at work.

I however already have a original Tuner for my empeg, however will think about this one since it has more features
but depends on price for me.

cheers,
Jai

What? No SOT-23's or 0402 SMT resistors? Where's the fun in that ?

Take a crack at our unassembled digital output board kits when they become available later this month. No 0402 SMD resistors or caps, but plenty of 0805s and even an SOT-23. Should be great fun for you .

I am thinking more and more of Carmegeddon right now




Does anyone remember the 007 aston martin in 'The Living Daylights"?

He had missiles mounted under the bumper and used his radio to aim them. The controls on the Rio Car are just about perfect for something like that.

We could use the serial interface to control the firing hardware, and the nic to recieve simplified IR data......

New thread? Never. This is the Thread That Will Not Die. It's the Jason Voorhees of the bbs.

Speaking of which, it seems Freddy vs. Jason got the greenlight to begin production.

Looks very impressive PCA. By the looks of the thread it seems that 72 tuners might not be enough. I would request 3 for myself Keep up the good work.

It is now officially impossible to find anything in this thread

Is somebody talking about building an accelerometer pcb?

I agree, but that's why I couldn't find any specific info on the accelerometer that people were talking about (the FlanceDoor people being flattened posts).

Thats an idea. I would love to see something like an accelerometer for the empeg... that would just be a blast to screw around with.

Hi.

Just wanted to repeat my offer to assemble tuners for others. I expect a fee of 30-40$ would be fair. So I offer the assembly of a tuner for 40$ including worldwide shipping. Any additional tuner will be 5$ less, starting with the 5th tuner, each tuner will be assembled for 30$.
I advise that everyone who does not assemble the kit on his own tries to find someone either in his own country or in the European Community do to it for him. This way, the tuner wouldn't need to pass through customs twice, possibly increasing the cost considerably. US citizens might be able to have a Canadian assemble the kit for them and vice versa for the same reason.
This being said, I happen to be in the EC.
I am accepting credit card payments through paypal at an additional fee of 1$ for each tuner.

cu,
sven

They are not. I imagine you will see a big announcement when they become available.
