@EU member,

pcb fabric shipped the boards out to me (with slow post because of the customs ;-) ) Last order takes around 12 working days.

 

[Dennis Hui]

A quick update: Boards have just been mailed for those participating in the NA GB
and have paid.

Thanks,
Dennis

@EU member,

[Dennis Hui]

Another update: Boards for all participants in the NA GB requiring shipping
have gone out.

Thanks,
Dennis

Got mine today in NJ. Thank you Dennis.

Jeff, can you post a pic pf your completed board? I am trying to find the Ohmite resistor you have listed but cant. Can you post the exact number of either the R7, R8 or R10? Thanks.

Hi Nash,

Note that they're three different values, but here's one of them:

TNP10SAR500JE Ohmite | Mouser Ireland

Thank you.

Do the ohmite resistors need to be heatsinked on the main heatsink like above or at all? They have an operating temp up to 155c

Turns out they don't need heatsinking. They get warm in mine, but not even hot.

Cheers,
Jeff.
