Hi,

 

I have released a version 1.2 of the solution. Please refer to the readme front page file at the git repository with details:

 

While I am writing this note - a group buy with 35+ participants is happening for this same version 1.2 - organized by Cal (AD8Q) and Stan (KC7XE).

How do I sign up for this group buy?

I  will commit to this buy

Will

If anyone is building more than 1 and is willing to sell the other one, I'd love to volunteer! Interested in the full monty — the board with ATU, battery, and speaker. 73, Merry Christmas,

Randy K7RAN

 

As far as I know the first group buy is closed, participants paid their shares and are in the process of getting their kits.

 

The best way is to contact Cal (AD8Q) and Stan (KC7XE) by email.

 

You can find more group buy discussion (although it is quite outdated at this point) in this thread:

l think a lot of us missed out on the first group buy.  Would you (Cal and Stan) be willing to do another group buy if we can get 10 more folks to commit?

I'll commit to one (possibly two) if there's another group buy.

Few thoughts about group buy.

 

Cal and Stan probably are busy with a holiday season plus receiving, packaging and sending out kits. Please give them few more days to respond and feel free sending an email.

 

At the same time, I want to remind that this is an open source project. All PCB fabrication files, BOM, firmware and assembly documentation has been published on GitHub. Anyone can use those to order and build the solution.

 

The minimum PCB order size is 5 from JLCPCB - this is where the scaling factor and an advantage of a group buy comes to the picture. Theoretically, if group of 5 is there anyone can organize a group buy. Although - the bigger the group the lower the ROI per each individual PCB set.

Would love to be part of a group buy.

To all who are asking about being part of a new group buy of the ABS add-on for the QMX+:

Cal and I have you on our list for a potential new group buy of the ABS boards and components.  Sorry for the delay in responses.

 

We are still busy getting the current group buy out to the 30+ who subscribed to the initial buy, and resolving some (hopefully minor) issues we have found in further testing.  When we have completed that, we will look at logistics, etc., and make a decision about another group buy for those who missed the first one.  The prices for a second group buy, if we decide to continue with it (which is likely), will depend on the number who subscribe to it, since the cost depends on quantity discounts.  Please be patient with us as we get the first buy completed.

 

Here are the ones we have on the list so far who have requested to be part of a second group buy:

ZL1ANY Stephen

W9LG Michael

KF7EJ Will

K7RAN Randy

KS4NS Dale

OZ1ES Erik

Nico Smith

Dave Campbell

 

Thank you,
