Hi Scott,
I'm sorry that these aren't working out for you. I am a bit surprised to
hear you find that they are not working very well. There are over 400 of
these boards out in the world now and, in my recollection, we haven't heard
any complaints that haven't been able to be resolved. There have been
plenty of user errors along the way, of course, and there are known bugs
posted on my website.
You have far more experience in electronics than I do. If you feel this is
a faulty product I can refund your money. Your time, of course, is beyond
my ability to refund.
As Andy mentioned, these take a long time. There are over 1200 solder
points. No way around that unless you redesign the board, which is not what
we set out to do. But in cases of extreme battery leakage (like my own,
which resulted in the creation of these boards) they are the best
alternative I know about.
If you would like a refund, please contact me via email.
Best regards, and my regrets that you are disappointed with the results so
far.
