Preparing EEZ H24005 for crowdfunding

[prasimix]

I made a list of parts that remains after campaign fulfillment. It's very limited and include various things from TFT displays, bare PCBs, enclosure parts to complete kits. If anyone is interested please contact me by PM. Your inquiry will be processed on first come, first served basis.

This morning I got an email to tell me it's being shipped, and I should have tracking online in the next 24 hours.

woohoo!

[Dwaine]

I also received an email that my unit has shipped.  Also got a tracking number.

[cs.dk]

[Helix70]

No shipping email for me yet. Hopefully soon!

[Rerouter]

Mines on its way, taken a few hops around croatia, but i'm guessing it will find a plane out in a few days.

And my second one is confirmed as on the way, so CrowdSupply seem to be getting through them pretty quickly.

[Helix70]

Yay! Mine has shipped!

It seems that I mistakenly put just two instead of four M3 x 5 mm black countersunk head bolts in B1 bag shown on Fig 3. here. Therefore spacers (B2) cannot be fixed on the bottom plate, but even without that AC/DC modules should be securely fixed if you're use that two bolts to join mounting frame (B3) with bottom plate (see Fig 6).

Hi Prasimix.  Sorry to post here, I'm not sure how to contact you directly about my H24005 order.  I tried to contact you through the Crowd Supply website, but not sure if you'll receive my inquiry.  Anyway,  I've received my order (thank you, and very well packaged as well).  I've come to discover I had only ordered "Assemblies and Enclosures".  So I have a beautiful enclosure but no electronics.  Is it possible to order the missing parts?  My original order number is 40339.  Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately there are just few leftovers. If you're interested in details send me PM. Crowd Supply team announced that they're going to organize second batch, but I don't have any details about that.

This issue is now also reported in Github here, and note about this mistake is put into latest kit assembly instructions draft (0.8).

Good to see people have already successfully built em up. Mines held in customs until I cough up the VAT/duty extortion

After building it, do a firmware upgrade to version 1.01.  Following the assembly instructions they were excellent.  I most likely will replace the binding posts with better ones this weekend.   Very nice unit.  Looking forward to future firmware updates.  Let's see were it takes us.

Good, firmware upgrade is highly recommended for various reasons as stated in 1.01 description. Upgrade process is described here (don't forget to include 3rd party libraries scpi-parser and Ethernet2).

I most likely will replace the binding posts with better ones this weekend. 

Let us know what you did. I had a hard time to found decent binding posts what is not too expensive and available via regular distributors. Take into account spacing between Front panel and PCB.

Looking forward to future firmware updates.  Let's see were it takes us.

Firmware development will continue, list of open issues are available here (maybe your votes will speed up some of them), more will be added and of course all of you who have now a real unit to work with are invited to report "usability issues", bugs, possible improvements, etc.

EDIT: Feel free to test remote control (using USB or Ethernet) by exchanging SCPI commands too  .

Yeah, IMO for those that are in the EU it would probably be cheaper to get them directly from prasimix

Depends, since Croatian VAT is one of the highest in the EU, and if you cannot provide valid company VAT number extra +25% must be paid.

indeed - i just got mine as well, delivered to my door - and the only thing i had to pay was regular local VAT. No customs -  declaration said "0% to apply", not even a DHL handling fee, probably because sender covered the customs handling. And thanks to current € exchange rate, this thing now was quite a bit cheaper than expected...
Wohoo, can't wait to assemble it  - unfortunately, this weekend is blocked by family business...
Thanks prasimix for all your efforts!

[Macman]

I've just received my letter with the charges to be paid. VAT: £68.40 Clearance Fee: 11.25 giving a total of £79.65
About the amount I was expecting but still slightly annoying having to pay the clearance fee.

[lycralout]

@Macman, Snap! at least they are consistent
