UPDATE: I created a simple page to handle the ordering process [via paypal] if you would like to pay another way or prefer anything but standard post shipping, PM me. If there are any questions or oversights please let me know, the shipping and pricing should be correct.

Here is the ordering page:

http://toppobrillo.com/TWFDIY.html

the ordering window [for the 1st batch] is around 10 days from today, at that point I will send off for PCBs/ the parts for the kits will be here sooner than the PCBs so I will be shipping your orders by christmas time. remember that the PO tends to get slower around then of course!

yes I am taking preorders, and while I know preorders for certain items here in these forums haven't turned out well, or, at all these boards and myself are a known quantity and you can count on communication and honesty about delivery times. you will get an update here everytime something is ordered/received and when your items ship.

I will be ordering extra PCBs of course, but parts, not too much, count on a 2-3 week lead time for bulk parts-orders. This means if you place a KIT order after the initial qty. of kits is gone, your kit order will take a little while [I will update the ordering page with this information]. PCBs should be plentiful.

Hi, I finished my first run of Euro modules!

http://toppobrillo.com/TBmmCO/TWF.html

now i think it's time to offer up the DIY option. I can order PCBs right away, the kits will take a few weeks to get together.

There aren't any hard to find parts at all, full printed documentation will be provided to those who order, BOM can be emailed so you can get a jump on ordering parts.

The pricing is as follows, PCB only $20, PCB and all PCB mounted parts, 65$ this includes machined-pin IC sockets.

Infos::

The PCB is fairly dense with 9 ICs and 6 trimmers. It measures 3" x 4.2" [fits between euro and frac rails]

there are provisions for both Euro power as well as MOTM, the board is double sided, green soldermask with yellow silkscreen. All connections are brought out to the edges of the board and grouped into 3 and 4-pin .1" header pads.

some of the the bypass capacaitors are large SMD pads under some ICs. you could easily solder small ceramic caps here if you like.

please ask if you have any questions, vote in the poll above please so I can gauge interest on this.

thanks for looking!

Definitely interested in this. Is there a chance we can see the BOM before we order? That way I can decide whether I need to get the kit or not.

ordering time is coming to a close! get them in by early next week if possible!

oh yeah and i will be mailing out BOMs to those who have ordered so you can get a jump on parts ordering.

BTW: The full kit ordering does not work ... However i now ordered a single PCB w/o Parts.

Anybody designed a MOTM or DOTCOM Panel ?

I placed an order and paid via paypal 3 days ago for a pre-made 15V. I haven't heard anything back from this guy, I sent an email and a pm.

hey guys sorry yeah it can be hard to get to all emails and PMs right away.. doing it now. anyways tonite I am working on getting the BOMs mailed out to those who have ordered. for those who are curious- there are no hard to get parts, everything is available at mouser or many other places.

I received an email from Josh back on Feb 23rd saying my pre-built kit would be shipped the following week. That makes about a month of wait for "priority" shipping here in USA. I haven't received anything yet or received any other communication.

Has anyone received or heard anything?
