Same in Indiana. So, I took the week off vacation and am
building the 5 modules I received on Christmas day. When I
get done with that I expect Dave shipment of panels should
arrive to me. I will get started soon on those who I am drilling
for.

Publically, you are welcome. I knew collecting an organizing
the money woudl be a headache. So, I wanted that off your
back so you could be "creative."

Yes. I was too easy. Last call IS last call next time guys.

With Moe's permission, we will include 831 and 822 panels
in the next run for anyone who has purchased a PCB but does
not have a panel for it yet.
BTW, two things for you 822 and 831 builders:
1. I will be sending you two documents soon:
a- revised schematic with the IC identification
and pin number changes reflected by the
change from protoboard to PCB. There are
no electrical changes (other than the ferrite beads)
b- calibration instructions.
One more note of interest. I am working on a new bracket
that can be used with the 831 and 822s that will attach to the
panel without drilling holes. NO, I cannot promise a delivery
date. However, I thought I would let you know so if you
wanted to wait on attaching your to your panel, you could
save the two holes. If I am drilling your panel, I will contact
you privately so you can decide if you want to wait for bracket
development or have me drill now and ship soon.
The 831 and 822 PCBs are designed to fit on Paul's bracets if
you want to go that way. However, two new holes will be required
in that bracket. In my opinion, the screws through the front are not
such a big deal if you use nice ones. I use # 6 hex head black. They
are almost not there. I have photos from my Blacet conversions if
anyone wants them e-mail mne privately.
