Apology time guys...
Been stupidly busy - had three court cases on the go for the past fortnight and havn't had a chance to do anything other than work. Had to go
down to my workshop today - first time in nearly 3 weeks - just to check the pikeys hadn't had all my gear away!
I was sure everyone would be quite rightly pi&%ed off with me by now so first off....
1. If anyone wants a refund due to the time it has taken me to sort this, please let me know and I'll reverse the Paypal payment straight
away
Now, to answer the flood of questions I've had via u2u/email:
2. If anyone still wants in, please get payments in ASAP. No need to check with me first, just pay using the links (you don't need a Paypal
account, just punch in your card details and their site will do the rest)
3. If anyone is still waiting for BACS or cheque details, as I've lost track of who I have sent them to, please ask again. I'd prefer
Paypal where possible, as it makes my life a lot easier, but if you must use another method I will deal with it.
4. You will get a return email saying that my chris@locostbuilders address is no longer in use. It's fine to ignore this - the payment will
come through fine as Paypal is still registered to that address, it's just the email account I no longer use. Put 2007 before the @ if you want
to email me.
Payments list is as follows:
richard thomas - JAW Option 4
GaryM - JAW Option 4
Tangerine Scream - JAW Option 4
MikeRJ - JAW Option 4
big_wasa - JAW Option 4
kyanther - JAW Option 4
zetec - JAW Option 4 Reversed
tim windmill - JAW Option 4
phoenix70 - JAW Option 4 Reversed
ecosse - JAW Option 4 Reversed
MikeRJ - JAW Option 4
RichardK - JAW Option 4 Reversed
adithorp - JAW Option 4 Reversed
If anyone wants reversed display plugs, and it's not indicated on the list above, please advise ASAP.
I'd prefer contact by EMAIL if at all possible
Anyone wanting to send cheques/BACS that has not got the details from me and advised me that payment is on the way by MONDAY 16th I will assume is no
longer interested. All payments must be in by the time my post arrives on THURSDAY 26th (1 week today). That allows those posting cheques plenty of
time. I will place the order on that afternoon.
Apologies again, hope nobody is too upset (see point 1 above if so)
Cheers, Chris

I keep debating having the plug reversed .....
The more i think about it the more it makes sense as it gives me options on how to mount the display but with the risk of having a thicker display
unit.
I know some are doing it, what about others - thoughts?

As I've said before - these LED 7-segment displays have lousy contrast in bright light. They are only clear when there is some form of filter
in front, whether it's red or grey. Mine has a sheet of 3mm red perspex across the front of a Maplins box.
If you're going to fit a filter then you need to mount the display board further back, in which case the standard connector arrangement works
perfectly well.

Remember guys...
If you're sending BACS or cheque payment, tomorrow is the deadline!
Luckily for the others, I've had no one (so far) tell me a cheque is on the way this time around, so the order might be able to be placed a
couple of days earlier.
There's still time for Paypal payments if you want in, whether you were on the original group buy list or not.
Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris, Hope you don't mind if I ask a couple of questions, have you any news, have they been ordered, has Alan given you any indication if he
had enough stock to dispatch straight away? So excited! Sad I know!
Just a quick question, I understand you will be testing the boards and readers individually but what about the lambdas, will you be testing the lambda
sensor (free air cal) with the specific JAW that's being shipped?
Cheers
Rich

I finally managed to get hold of Alan yesterday - what a nightmare that was - and finalise the order with him.
His email was sent at 16:38 his time (00:38 our time) and promised the units would be sent 'tomorrow' and that I'd have a tracking
number. Waiting on that at the moment.
In the mean time, the lambda sensors left the Chicago USPS facility, which is reasonably local to my US address, this morning... so I assume they will
arrive there today.
Components are ordered, but there is a delay on one of the voltage regulators. Still waiting to hear from them, but I will chase that today.
To clarify the above - I'm having everything sent to an associate of mine in the US, who will box it all up and ship everything over to me in
one go.
Only thing that's being a pain in the arse at the moment is the only parts I'm sourcing in the UK - the VW sensor plugs and leads!!

Now there is a surprise Who would have thought that. Looks like things are getting there. It does seem like Alan is a very difficult guy to get
hold of just visiting his forum.
Thanks again for sorting this anyway.
Cheers

More news:
Lambdas have arrived at my US address
All components are now ordered. What a mess about - try getting Futurelec to answer a simple query via email!  Ended up sourcing a
lot of the parts from Digikey instead
Alan has shipped the boards and CPUs
VW parts were paid for this morning and are on their way straight to me.
As for testing - yes, I intend to test each complete setup. The only thing I won't be doing is assembling the VW bits, as I'll leave it
up to you as to exactly how you want to go about that part. I'll make up my harness and use that to test each JAW and lambda in free air.
IF my car is done in time, I might even test each JAW unit on my car... but that's very much time dependant!
