I'm confused. Are you talking about diodes, or resistors? Cause in the post with the part info, you say how there is no diodes included, but in the screenshot, I see 500 diodes. No resistors/LED's.  :-\

Yes, I did not include LEDs or resistors. The resistor depends on what LED you use so the resistors were left out.

TFR, I think there is confusion between the switch diodes and the  light emitting diodes... you said it includes everything but diodes and LEDs, but I think you meant to say ti includes everything but resistors and LEDs. You do seem to have switch diodes listed in your order list.

Edit: I see you figured that out.

I would like rectangular LEDs in purple. If no purple, then white please.

This list is awesome and better prices than I expected. Thanks for all the work!
I stay busy with work and family these days, but I'm still around, lurking.

Yeah, I fixed my mistake. Sorry for the confusion! Rectangular LEDs in purple, gotcha.

Jdcarpe wanted 10 extra. It gets us lower prices so I'm not complaining!

The only thing that will take extra time is manufacturing and waiting for the PCBs to ship and the acrylic case. MOZ and I have to revise the design then he has to get them cut and shipped to me. The parts are from Digikey and shouldn't take long to arrive. I think we are doing pretty well on time though.

What is the pricing on the purple LEDs I might need 150 total

Also I need 3 extra set of controller electronics, for future projects.

Math helps :P



25 sets + 375 extra diodes yet $8 less

So since each set has 25 diodes, 25 sets have 625 diodes, costing $21.24.

Thus total for 25 sets including $5.23 shipping is: $183.48

Hence each set is ~$7.5.

We have 25 sets, 1 for everyone (Total 8 ) except me (4) and jdcarpe (11), that means we have 2 sets extra, raccoon you can keep them as I know you will be working on more customs, or if someone wants to buy, they can do that, since you are ordering raccoon, that is up to you, and if someone wants more, we can increase the order and maybe hit new tiers.

Also, update on the switched. I will be packaging them as 25 switches, just in case any comes out faulty or is damaged in transit. This pack would be for $9.

Costs thus far:
$6 - PCB
$13 - case
$7.5 - parts
$5 - shipping
$9 - switches
Resistors and LEDs extra.

I would like green LEDs if possible.. If not, any color will do. =) Thank you.

I don't really have any diodes laying around.. :(

Ok, here's what we'll do. Everyone in the first round needs to tell me what color LEDs they want. If you already have LEDs, you can opt out. I can order the LEDs and resistors then ship them with the rest of the parts.
I'm confused. Are you talking about diodes, or resistors? Cause in the post with the part info, you say how there is no diodes included, but in the screenshot, I see 500 diodes. No resistors/LED's.  :-\

I could be really dumb right now and not know what I'm talking about.. I'm tired.

also if it's still wanted, I'd like white LED's.

Switches packed.

Each pack has two smaller packets consisting of 13 switches each. Please note that these are desoldered switches, and thus some of them have the terminal pins at the end slightly bent (Can be flattened easily with plier) since some assembly worker thought it is a good idea  >:D. And some would have some remaining solder or a pulled of pad.

When using them, remember to clean them with a soldering iron.

After the protoyping is done and all issues sorted, raccoon and I will do a GB.

There might be a second round of beta with the universal board that regack is still completing PCB for.

Ideally, what you want in a GB like this would be someone who could supply you with the PCB, stabilizers (if requested), switches, a case and/or a plate. And possibly assembly service.

If MOZ and TheFlyingRacoon can handle that, it sounds like they are ready to roll with it, once everything is final and prototypes have been made and tested.

Final PCBs for the group buy should be manufactured using pick and place, just like the final GH60s will be. So end users won't have to worry about SMD soldering.

Exactly. I figured since it was only 10 PCBs, I would be happy to do the SMD soldering for everyone. I have that Hakko 936 you sold me and the proper equipment to SMD solder.

What is proper equipment, do I need something specific, besides the normal through hole stuff and a finer tip?

I saw whitefiredragon do it with an iron, and not even a very small tip. I'm not saying its as easy as through hole stuff, but it also doesn't seem terribly difficult. I need to get a pair of those tongs for holding stuff in place before doing it though.

Moz and I have pretty much everything worked out and are about ready to invoice. For SMD soldering, it will be $10 and for full assembly it will be $10. I think those prices are fair, but just let me know if you disagree!
