DIY Curve Tracer for PC - Page 7

JBdV · 09:07 AM

I will order one set on Taobao this week through a Chinese friend, who will arrange shipping to Holland, please confirm that the unit will be of the latest (newest) version and in very good shape, on the Taobao website the pictures show holes in the enclosure that are not very well made.

@ locky_z
Finally, this curve tracer is available to ebay or it is selling in China, only?

Hello all!
It seems the curve tracer draws a lot of attention here on DIYaudio...

I live in China and contacted Locky_z to see what we could do to bring the tracer in Europe, USA ...
The problem is the device with power supply and casing is heavy (3kg) and shipment gets prohibitive (~100 USD)

We could get away with a kit of assembled PCB only with all components soldered, MCU programmed and tested, and then you add your own power supply (32-40V / 2.5A) + casing and heatsinks

This solution would allow either a shipment from China at a more acceptable price, or from France (I return to France from time to time and could bring a couple of PCBs with me to ship from there)

A group buy could be organized , although with strict DIY rules applying, support would be limited because of the obvious language barrier, and one has to understand that in case of damage, sending back the unit is out of question because of import duties in China....

Price would be in the neighborhood of 60 to 70 Euro + shipping (at todays exchange rate to be determined in case of strong interest from you all)
That would cover the cost of the assembled board by Locky_z , and a couple of euros for myself to handle the Paypal, currency exchange, packing ... (I will not run a business from it, but I don't want to lose money on it either...)

In a nutshell, I would like to check interest from you all.. without guarantee that I will manage it in the end...

so Please raise your hands if you are interested !

Cheers

Fred

Add me, and if you want I can build one for you in return (send 2 boards in that case).

Though I nearly completed the Elektor unit last weekend (after 16 months), but this one has some added properties
