Iron Pre Essentials Kits For The DIYA Store - Register Your Interest

[Zen Mod]

Thanks to everyone involved in getting boards and parts into people’s hands. I’m really looking forward to hearing this thing.

I should probably just be more patient, and maybe contact the Store instead of whining here, but others have received their orders and I’ve had some issues with USPS at my new address so I’m concerned... Are there any tracking numbers to be had for the Completion Kits? According to the Store, all I know is that my order fulfillment is “partial”.

try contacting somehow someone in Store

I don't need a completion kit, he he he he. Yah that's right, I got lucky with the universe.... More later.

Thanks for both your excitement and your patience; it will be rewarded. The kits need to move out in phases for logistics. If you made the "normal" order vs. the preorder, and if you don't get a shipment notification before EOW, contact the store. There is one system issue that may have impacted you, but Jason is on top of it, and it should have little-to-no impact on timing. 🤞

More for everyone vs. just you - There's no FOMO. Everyone that wants one is getting one. Some that jumped early are just getting theres a wee touch earlier than others. It seemed better to ship what was available vs. making everyone wait until all orders could be moved at the same time. Per the norm... soon...

Seriously though... very, very soon. I think some are in people's hands already.



PS - I'm not sure if the shipments are tracked or not. That's definitely one for the store.

Quick Reminder - Pre-orders for the completion kits for the 2021 and 2023 through-hole boards are closing today. If you want one, this is your last chance to get one. For the quantities currently on order, they'll ship MUCH sooner than June... maybe early February if that affects anyone's decision.

Elves are getting to work...

If I wanted a pair of bare balanced boards, no completion kits, no foncy JFETs (I got em), who might I talk to?

Houston, we have a problem. We got 19.5vac. Zero vdc. Trim posts do zilch. Where do I start checking?

 

[Zen Mod]

it could help if you say where you got that

then I would say - post pics

I think it's a quote from Apollo 13. Either the movie, or the real life event. Just guessing though. I've been wrong before.

 

[Zen Mod]

I'm getting Houston part, ZM flying blind entire life



rest is what needs some clarifying

 

[birdbox]

ZM Omnifunny, so I had to attempt one too (Ive got a long way to go)

I’ll post some pics, after coffee thanks. I’m thinking I may have wired transformers blue/green wrong.The eay I paired them up was using a multi meter on beep. Beep beep made a pair.

 

[Zen Mod]

bummmmmmmmer

beep is not having brain, you must act as brain for beep

beep is completely happy brainless, as long it beeps



though - what you mean by "pair", we can't be sure without actually seeing pics



here we go again, it seems I can put this one in my Sig:

 

[mkane77g]

Don’t see any dots. Coffees almost finished

If pic quality is sub par I can drag out the SLR.
Transformers a o218

gimme Vac read between:

AC1 to CT
AC2 to CT
AC1 to AC2

also, just for giggles - triple check placement of all active parts; I'm first one who made swap of BD transistors, same as IRF ones

 

[mkane77g]

AC1-CT 19.15vAC
AC2-CT 19.15vAC
AC1-AC2 38.25vAC

 

[Zen Mod]

ok, that's good

parts orientation/placement checked?

take your time - stare at goats and schematic and parts placement paper and actual pcb .........

what you have now on test pads, on rails, positive and negative?

 

[mkane77g]

PS transistors seem to be in order as are the IRF's

 

[mkane77g]

I stare at sheep and still get zero vdc
