Lael,
Just check the postage cost to Brazil and it is too high. It came to AU$92 with tracking number, otherwise it never makes it.
So, I will have to give up on the kit.
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Luis,

Yeah, sorry, it is not ideal. I'll PM you with some options.

Cheers,
Lael
 
A quick update to the list - more people paying - We've past half way! Woohoo! Thank You! It is great to see everyone's enthusiasm and excitement for the project.

If you are not on the list and would like a kit, PM me and I'll try to make it work.
If you are on the list - please pay as soon as you can so we can get this order under way.
If you need to pull out of the buy, please PM me and let me know so I can open up the spot for others.

I've received the final version of the PCB today, still waiting for the temp probe. The PCB looks amazing and works as expected. I'll run it through a final test when I receive the new temp probe.

I've ordered parts - received buttons, screws, nuts, nylon standoffs so far! Ordered SSRs and Arduinos yesterday, ordering Power supplies tomorrow.

The list below indicates what I have received. Please don't edit this list as it contains payment information. If you have paid and it is not indicated on the list, wait a few days. I will try to update it regularly. We should be out of the holiday season, so payments should be coming through overnight from now on. Thanks Everyone!

Details about this kit if you want to know more:
Hi Everyone,


The costing came out to $245AUD per kit + $15 postage (AusPost express) once all the parts and exchange rates are accounted for.
If you haven't seen this post: http://aussiehomebre...46#entry1251289 It has more details on pricing etc.

If you are outside Aus, the kit is almost exactly 1.5kg, which means that the calculation needs to be for 1.5-2kg to allow for packaging (appx 150/200gr I think). If you are international, the price is $245+Intl postage+$5 for packaging materials. Go to: http://auspost.com.a...calculator.html and select Overseas (parcels) and check out weights. Generally better value can be had by combining weight - eg: 2 kits =3-3.5kg and usually makes shipping cost per kit half. I apologise in advance for the expense. I guess Aus is a long way away from everywhere.

I've put together a quick (actually, it is 30mins...) video showing what is included and how it all goes together so if you are trying to figure out what is included and how difficult / easy it is, give it a watch. It is so beautifully simple to put together. Take a look:


If you are ready to pay - the information you need is here:
https://docs.google....?usp=send_form�

Based on the first survey I did, I'm looking at getting heating elements and stainless plates to make the build process easier. So there is a quick survey about that. The only question you have to complete is the one saying - Yes I will be responsible for the kit I build, not Lael (basically - you build it, you are responsible for it). Once you submit that, you'll get account details to put the money into, and I can start ordering parts! (I'll actually wait a little until we get enough people paid for this to go ahead). I'll add payment status to the above list once it starts coming in.

A BIG Thank You! to Austin and the Admin crew for giving me supporter status to allow me to handle all the messages coming through. Super appreciated!
 
Hello Lael,

Just back from the UK and have now paid and requested to join the group.

Regards
Graeme
 
[SIZE=10pt]Hey Guys,[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Not having used one of these before I was just wondering if it’s possible in manual mode to ignore the temp sensor and control the power output to the elements.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]So manually adjust the power to say 70% and just stay on irrelevant of the temp. Basically will I be able to use it like one of those PWM controller things.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]If so will this run both elements at the same power output? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]I realise this isn’t the point of the controller but I was just trying to figure out if possible[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Looking forward to getting my hands on the kit, how far away do you think we are?[/SIZE]
 
Should be possible with the new update to the ardbir code. But I havent tested it in manual mode. But it does have the pwm function during boil on auto.

That's fantastic, now I need to update the current controller!!! With 3 other projects on the run (well at this point the postie is getting some overtime with deliveries) squeezing this in might just have to wait till I pick up from lael.

jazzafish and jwa1 - I've slotted you in as per your interest - please let me know if you do NOT want to go ahead with the order.

I've received the final version of the PCB. I received the temp probe samples today! . The PCB looks amazing and works as expected. I'm hoping to run the controller through a test with the temp probes and live power tomorrow.

Received the new Temp probes and the final version of the PCB:

Thats looks awesome Lael, what sort of time frame are you thinking before these can be distributed?
 
Thanks Brendan,

Ordering parts at the moment. That is the first of the prototype fabbed PCBs. I'm wiring up the controller this afternoon and testing it. It will be a few weeks at the best. I'll post more when I get a lead time on the PCBs.
