Aw crap! Hopefully you get them working soon.

Gonna try sort out all my resistors tonight and hopefuly get soldering this week. About how long did it take you to build it?

According to the anpost it's en route again.
Hopefully no duty to pay.

 

[theoootini]

didn't take that long altogether. 2 nights. pretty much bang on what he said in the pdf: 8 hours.

hopefully a short time of trouble shooting later!

Its dawning on me more and more every day how I'm not going to be able to put this beast together.

Depending on how fast I knock together my own one, I might offer to build some for others.
That's if we actually get the feckin things at all.

when building the only problem i had was with the input/output jacks and the dc power jack. make sure you fit them in at the same time and then solder them. i did it one by one and had to wedge them in. space in that corner of the board is pretty tight.

probably why the input doesn't work...

You've probably already done this but go over each connection again with the iron and make you touch the iron off both the component and the trace and then make sure the solder flows a bit.

I'm already building HMDs and Ann Posts, I owe them both a lot of favours. I really hope I can build them in less than eight hours each.

i finished up about 10 last night so i didn't get a chance to. but yeah, thats the plan for tonight...

you'll be lucky to get it done a lot faster than 8 hours...

dose! that's really random too, given that mine was labelled exactly the same...

Extra 23 bills each so, is it ok to give you the cash when I get them off you? I'll be in Dublin from Thursday this week.

 

[aoboa]

No problem

do you think there is anyway you can argue it? e.g, this.

To claim this relief from Customs Duty one of the following codes must be entered in box 37 b of the SAD:

I'd say it's VAT and a small handling charge.
If it was the full hit it'd be twice as much.
