If I could source all the parts I would offer that. Same for assembled K1s. But as long as I can't get some items at all, I won't take orders. At this time the inductors are probably doable, but the IR3895 is still impossible and more PICs are at least a few weeks away, if you believe Microchip.
Maybe board change to with new reg?
......
Maybe time to start kolondike V2.0 plans?
You're welcome to start your own project doing it the way you like.
I won't be doing any v2.0 plans for Avalon based Klondike.
**** I am putting together a deal that may get us a limited run of K16 kits. All board parts, except ASICs. No heat sink, fan, cable - that's up to your DIY hackin. This would be a one-time batch. Maybe 100 units.
I own IR reflow station so a complete diy kit is what I need. Do you know when they can be available? I'd be interested in 2 or 3.
BkkCoins are you planing to sell complete kits for self assembly? I ordered a k16 board but if you're going to source parts than I'm willing to wait for the whole kit.
I was able to snatch some parts before but I just stuck with 2 major parts. The 1.2v regulator and the power inductor. The USB controller should be available on the 18 of august or so (hopefully). Do you have any spare of those left?
These two are what I'm missing as well. I have a few emails out to China sellers... in the meantime I'll keep looking.
As for the USB controller, just order them from Bkk's site. They come pre-programmed.
I've been trying to keep count. I was going to post that I have both QFN and SS PICs coming to me next week. I thought I had 84 QFN and 186 SS still available. But then I saw just ordered 100 boards and PICs.
So now I have are no more QFN available. I have to get busy again finding more for you!
If someone can find a secret stash of IR3895 then I can make a board that uses the Coilcraft inductor. But without the reg. it doesn't do any good to make a different board.
I already ordered some of the Coilcraft inductor for testing, but they'll be a while.
