Potential Group Buy for VRDN Boards

Can this be moved to Group Buys threads so that you will also get larger notice? Is it still potential group buy?
now that you are closing around 100 good number for GB
thanks

This discussion is already in the Group Buys section. Unfortunately, I cannot change the title of the thread. I will update the wording in the first post, however, to make it more clear. As you mentioned, we are currently approaching 100 boards so I don't think the discussion is being ignored.
 
Some interesting news today: Roland968 is offering to work on the EU version of this group buy. This could potentially save a lot of euro for our friends in that region. I will let him make the final decision, but if so will ensure that he gets in contact with the members already on this list. Stay tuned.

Roland, please confirm when you are able.

Vielen Dank,, Roland! I appreciate your offer.
 
Anyone have any idea about current parts availability for these boards now? Things were pretty normal in July of 2020, until all kinds of parts had long lead times over the past 2.5 yrs. Is there a current BoM or link to a public one on Mouser?

I just walked through the BOM at Mouser and found all parts are available EXCEPT the onsemi LM317 and LM337. So either the parts might be at another location or a substitution might be needed. Newark suggests that the lead time for this part is 1/15/2024. Yes, 2024. I would dig through the actual VRDN build thread to see what substitutions could be made.

Maybe we need a group buy for onsemi parts....🤔

I had contact with Roland today. He has confirmed that he will handle the EU portion of the this group buy. This means that the following members should contact him soon:

quartensprung, sov.

And if there are any members in Asia who want to work with a European group buy instead of having it4ems shipped from the US, just let me know and I can get you handed off to Roland and off of my list. No worries either way.

As announced, you will find the link to the VRDN Board GB for EU members.

I will post more information in the next few days and look forward to your support.
 
Quick update: My apologies for the delay. Had a plumbing issue at Casa de Bhjazz over the weekend that took far more hours than it was worth. I'm back in the saddle today so will be able to dedicate time to our project this evening. More soon. Thank you for your patience.
