simpleavr 399 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 @@PhilM @@distefanom @@bluehash Thanks for your interest in the calculator. The group buy was initiated by bluehash. I believe he is procuring all the necessary parts and will turn them into kits, and will have them shipped from US when ready. Let's give him a couple of days to update all on the progress. He's part-time managing this site. The software and hardware are open sourced for anyone who's interested to build, see the build thread for more detail. If anyone needs the Gerber files for fabrication, I will be happy to provide via PM. The circuit is also simple enough to roll your own. If there should be complications on bluehash's side in making this happen, I will be glad to take up the task and create a few of this kits. In fact I have 2/3 set of parts sitting here. The cost of shipping from Canada is a bit high though. It costs $9.50 just for the postage for Europe. PhilM 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PhilM 5 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi What do I type in the box to order two calcs for delivery to/in the UK with all parts needed to build them? I can solder but will I need any USB stuff and software to flash the chip or are they pre-flashed? Thanks Sorry if I'm being thick ... been a long time since I did any microcontroller stuff ... last time was 1985 flashing an 8748 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can preflash the chips for you, just remind me. 2. The kit is in parts and you will need to put it together. It can be done with a soldering iron. 3. You need to enter 4546 in the "Qty" box...then add to cart. If you are having any issues, please let me/us know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are a novice solderer, use a socket.. although it is not much different. I can send you a bare Launchpad v1.4 PCB to test solder on. PhilM 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
