Making sure i haven't missed anything here. Any movement on this? I'm anxious to fire up my soldering iron.

Just a bit of an update - I've held off doing much with this, until I had the finalized BOM. We now have that, but I haven't had time to check out the BOM, and come up with any figures. There's probably enough people and boards, to save a bit, plus, I tend to buy bulk, whenever I can, on resistors, caps, etc, and that might save a bit, also. I have been pretty busy, but hopefully will slow down a bit, in the next few days, and get a chance to go over some numbers. It will probably be into next week, before I come up with any numbers.

I'll keep everyone posted, through this thread.

thanks,

Roger

Update - I am getting things figured out for a group buy, seeing if we can save any money. It is taking some time, as Mouser has DRASTICALLY changed the pricing on some of the items, and I am comparing them with other places, Jameco in particular, and comparing everything. Also, since we are dealing with several different boards, it is taking a while. I'll keep everyone posted. I know everyone is anxious to get soldering, and if you've decided to get parts on your own, please let me know as that can change the amounts. Christmas is still a long ways away...

Thanks.

I'm decreasing my plans by one SSR Daughter board. I'm still interested in 2 HNC, 2 SSR DB and 2 USB to RS485.
Thanks,

Roger,

I have the boards now but will need the BOMs for all above.

Roger,

I decided to go ahead and order my parts on my own, so please remove my 1 HNC and 1 HNN from the the totals.

Thanks,
