Pictures of the first six DIY kits and the first 15 assemblies(approx 70% assembly complete). The pictures are fuzzy for security reasons:eyebrows:

Re: MPSciLink starting a Group3 Pre-Order
Update:
My bench/desk is a mess!
Attachment 63212
Getting the headers installed for the BT modules. This will make this version PnP for BT replacement if necessary.
I will have to hook up my 12v DC power suppy to test these on the bench. Then I'll be testing on the designated test car - Slug.
I did test a v2.7 with the last version enclosure, and everything looks accessible. So I'll be putting the order in for all the enclosures. Yay, progress!
Re: MPSciLink starting a Group3 Pre-Order
Awesome! Good to see your progress. Let me know if you still need a hand with assembly!

I have 2 kits to send to you as trial! Lol. I'll try to get them out soon.
And I'll include my personal 5" & 7" displays so you can work with them for your display bezel/enclosure designs.

So, there are spots.
I think we committed ordering 50 boards, so we have some extra for testing, development, orders, and any possible repairs.
Personally I will be very busy now through the end of dragweek. So if you are interested, just submit your order. I'll get caught up after dragweek with the wire products.
And will have to make another order for displays for all the remaining orders.
I placed an order for my unit tonight after a discussion with Morris. i would greatly appreciate a blue board if they are still available. Looking forward to getting this in my car for next season!

I think Miles was keeping track of that, and not sure where we stand on the counts. I'll check with him when he's back.

Sweet! No rush, I was just curious. I will get my bench cleared off! Haha!

You should have a tracking update in email.

Noted in our spreadsheet
Re: MPSciLink starting a Group3 Pre-Order
Update:
I know everyone is anxious, and believe me I'm anxious for this to be over with also!
I found an issue when function testing the new devices. But don't panic. This was foreseen by Morris since this next batch of Bluetooth modules has some difference in the programming and he needed to rewrite some of the mpscilink program to include this.
I have to test the latest version of mpscilink and mpscandroid to see if the v2.7 is working properly.
I can't however go back and check the new mpscilink program on the v2.5 device, since mine is in Mini in PA!
But I can try it on my v2.0 device. (Another reason why I wanted to keep a legacy version of each device for troubleshooting!)
The enclosures have all been ordered and should arrive in about a week.
I can't remember what I said last as far as the boards, but the first box of assembled units came in from Miles, and I have completed installing the angled headers for the Bluetooth modules. Thank goodness we won't have to do any rework to these modules on this version! They are now plug & play to replace if needed.
I am going to try and get some testing performed on my upcoming days off, after Weds. I'd like to have the first several ready to go once the enclosures arrive.
My free time is virtually non-existent with the other issues I'm dealing with, but I'm going to try to manage it.
I know everyone is anxious, and probably losing patience by now. Please hang in there!
If you have any questions let us know.

Progress to report!
Some of folks at the top of the paid list should receive a tracking update.
I have several of them staged and ready for testing on the car. It was rainy here today, so I used the opportunity to get caught up on everything else.
Hopefully I can get several out this week. Function testing on the car is a bit time consuming.
DIY order group: I am waiting for some new capacitors from Miles to exchange in those kits. He didn't like a variance he found on his testing. So I can get the kits i have here out once That happens.
I got caught up on wire orders also. So I did what I could. I do need to order some more spade connectors, but that isn't holding anything up right now.

Edited. This one is more accurate.
Might be able to add another 1 or 2 to this.

Thanks.
I show all but one in WI were delivered. One customer's box was pretty banged up, but the contents looked unharmed. All the packages are insured.
I have 2 more I tested and are ready to be packaged up.
Re: MPSciLink starting a Group3 Pre-Order
Wayne,
Got mine yesterday. Did you order extra enclosures? Apparently, I forgot to order one.
Thanks,

Nothing extra was ordered.
But if you don't mind waiting just a little bit, there are some recent orders We'll have to stock up for.
