Do you have an idea of how much it will cost to get everything (board, leds, etc.) If it is still reasonable then sign me up for a complete set with everything included also

Probably about $50 for everything except the buttons and knob. Price is heavily dependent on how much of a risk we wish to take on inventory of expensive things like the LEDs.

Quite happy to pay in advance and reduce your risk, just say the word Stu.

Yeah, suprising how pricey those LEDs are! Quite the shocker first time I purchased some.

I am waiting for the board house to approve the design for manufacturability. It's supposed to take 15 minutes, but its been a day now, so I will see what happened there. The first round of inspections had some nit picking about the solder mask clearances and silkscreen line thickness. I think I fixed those. Hopefully tomorrow the boards will be ordered!

I'd like 2 complete kits with parts & instructions. I don't care what it costs. I'm fed up having waited 1.5 years for Brians.
Thanks!

Is there any chance of you providing the button LED boards also?

I will be providing LEDs for the buttons. I am not aware of any boards involved for them. It's just a resistor pack soldered to some pads on the stock display board.

That rocks. Even after reading the plans a bazillion times on Brian's site, I still didn't realize you didn't need a board. Sad, huh?

Black solder mask is an additional $50 for the run. Is everyone in agreement that it should be glossy? They offer matte as well as gloss.

Heck, you don't even need a board for a knob LED, either -- a single knob LED, that is.

How do you dim it?

Same way as with a board installed. The dimmer logic for both is already on the stock display board. The reason for the transistor on the 4-LED board is to avoid excessive current drain on the existing logic when used with lots of LEDs.

PCBs ordered! However they will be in green as they changed the price to $175 extra for black solder mask.
Should be here in about 5 weeks ![](/images/icons/frown.gif) .

Whenever the boards arrive, we will start accepting orders. It has become our policy not to take preorders.

Do the people that replied to this thread, with the amount of boards they wanted, will we be the first offered the boards? or is it going to be a first come first serve basis after you receive the boards, and setup an order form online?

It would be nice if we could do that, but how do we identify the persons who made the requests? Experience tells me that 100 should be more than enough for a quite some time. It will probably be first come first served, but I wouldn't worry about it. Oh yeah, I'm keeping one of them, but they sometimes have overage, so there may be a few more than 100 available from this first batch.

I predict that the first 100 will sell out within two weeks.

I don't check the BBS nearly often enough it seems. After waiting over a year for my order with Brian I think I can safely give up hope. I'm very excited to see development in this area starting again. I'm very interested in getting a full kit from you, pcb and full parts (knob and buttons) as soon as I can get replacement buttons too. By the looks of things Casting_Fool might be producing some soon!
Maybe it would be a good idea to communicate with Casting_Fool on his development? For someone like me I'd ideally like to buy everything together as a kit (buttons + electrics). Maybe you two could collaborate your efforts? Just a thought...

Way ahead of you there. ![](/images/icons/smile.gif) I actually sent him an e-mail on Friday but did not get a reply, as of yet.

Count is up to about 50 boards now, with most I assume wanting the complete set with all resistors, LEDs, and transistor.
