Picked mine up from the post office this morning and dumped the parts out of the box and all I can say is, Thanks Lou!!!! Thats a LOT of counting considering this is just ONE box of all the parts you have sorted!

Picked mine up today as well. I'd better hurry up and finish cleaning off my workbench so I can have them done this year.

Thanks guys!

I don't like them anyway so I installed a standard terminal block as used by many of the controllers already. Also - - why are there no sockets provided for the RS485 chips or ZC chip? I had a bunch of 8-pin sockets and pulled 2 pins out of one for the 6-pin ZC chip.

I'd suggest the BOM be adjusted for these items for future buys IMHO...

I think it is a standard porblem, I think that I have read some place (can not remember where) that you have to cut some thing of the spades to get the fit in.

Any way, I have also changed them with a standart connector, it is just easier

(Not that I have got my parts yet)

But yes it could be nice if some one changed / modified the bom

Well, just FYI, there should have been one extra 2 position terminal block in the kit to "replace" the spade connectors. I do not use these and yes, they have to be filed down to fit. The BOM is under the control of wjohn (I think). So I would send him a request to have it changed.....

Good Luck,
Chris

What!!! No place to put my power wires!!!! What are SPADEs!!!! Sounds like something for another product line!!

Just kidding, I've got a couple spare connectors so I'm good. Thank's for the offer, you've already done great!
