Dragon Link - Production Run #1

Post by Daniel Wee »

PCBCART has sent out the PCB (27 May 2009) so I expect to get them in about 10-days or so.
RF Modules will be ready for delivery about mid-June, so about 2 to 3 weeks from now.

Had to cancel a Mouser order (#2) and re-order from Farnell. Still waiting for resonators.

Got news that the second board is in the mail and should arrive in about a week - or maybe this Friday (but I'm not around by then).

20 Receivers assembled, fused and programmed. They just need to be calibrated and tested, then have heatshrinking applied.
