These have been added to the BOM due to the changes made by John Wilson.

538-39890-0302 (2Pin Euro Style screw term) 1

538-22-03-2021 (2Pin vert header) 1

649-65474-002LF (2Pin Tin Shunt) 1

Now, there is a question about the color of the power LED. Is green OK or should we change it to Red? Here's the part number if you want to do that just remember to subtract 1 from the green count.

604-WP7104EC (Mini Red LED) 1

I have gone and added the list to Mouser and come up with the price of $28.18 per board.  If anybody is interested, a group buy of 30 for this board, the price  would come down to about $18.40 plus shipping. I would not mind organizing this, just let me know who would be interested.

After work today I'm going to contact John to see how we'll get this order started. Right now I have quantities for a total of 30 boards. That means I have to purchase 11. I do not intend to buy enough parts to populate mopre than 3 of them at this point. So the group buy concept might be limited by that fact.

More about this later today...

Jeff

I went ahead and did a bunch of "what if" of quantity for the BOM's from mouser.  Here's what I found:

1 Kit:    $28.18 each
10 kits: $21.87 each
20 kits: $19.08 each
25 kits: $18.40 each
after 25, doesn't matter until 50...

So as long as we get enough for 10, it's going to be worth it.

Hi, Chuck...I'm in for 4 of the boards, and I was planning on populating 2 of them, but could be tempted to do all 4, if we are getting close to the 10 kit number, but not there...that's the biggest savings, from 1 to 10, as opposed to 10 to 20...

Thanks, I know it's a lot of work...

I happened to buy several 1000 of reds, and greens...so on my first two boards, I alternated red and green, and I'm using a yellow 5mm for power...looks pretty cool, when it's all blinky-flashy!!

I ok with 1/2 red, 1/2 green, and a yellow power.  Actually might be easier to test and see with odds and evens.

Here's the counts: Me 11, Roger 4, Chuck 2, Gary Funk 3, Donald Puryear 4, Synnie 6. 30...

I emailed John this morning as he was headed to bed. He said he would get a quote sometime in the next day or two. He'll get us a price for the boards and for the shipping for 24 to me, as Synnie is in AU. I'll forward them to the rest of you from here... (on me)

Chuck, I want complete parts for 3 of them, and I might have you get a partial order for the 4th board. I have partys left over from the proto and would like to use them up. If I don't get to counting them by the weekend I'll just skip it and get a complete 4.

I will PM/email all of you as soon as I hear from John.

I guess everybody drop me a PM or email me at chuck(at)jmland(dot)com with final number of parts you want for boards.  Shouldn't change the price on color of LED's if some of you want all one color, or mix it up.

Exactly! and believe me, nothing is prettier, when you do a test scroll from low channel to high channel, and back again!

I mean, like this:

oooooooooooooooooooooo

It's only a few extra cents a board, and ohhhh, SOOOO Christmas-y!!



Roger

PS, how do we PM on this forum?? I haven't been able to find it...blind as a bat!

We can save a few pennies, on the RJ-45's, too, by using these instead - I've been using them for everything, and they are virtually identical:

http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=571-5555166-1

Mouser part number 571-5555166-1, if the link doesn't work...saves a nickel each one - hey, every penny adds up!

I have both and he's right, they're literally identical. I think I switched to the $.79 part because the DIY community bought up all the cheaper ones at one point. I had forgotten about it and never changed it back (or I just blatently copied it from the DIY Wiki...) However when you hit the 50 qty they're priced the same... and there's a larger qty on hand right now. Might be better to avoid the chance for a back order... lead time is a month min... and if you look at the 100 qty... the part from my list is cheaper. If Chuck decides to make SSRs part of this order... 10 boards will be 60 connectors...
