Looks like a few were not made correctly. hope that does not make it to difficult for you to assemble.
James has offered to send direct to anyone living in the United States if you want it sooner. If sent direct the board will not be duple checked.
If sent direct, will boards be at least single checked?
Well.....Matt and I will need to discuss how to handle this. Because I do not have a display, there is no way to test full functionality, which is the real test.
I'll make everyone a deal, if you get a board that doesn't function correctly because of the part placement (solder, bridges, etc.), I'll fix it for free.

If someone were to lend you a display, would you be willing to do a full test before shipping? I hate the idea of shipping boards over the border to Matt so he can check them and send them back over the border (seems so wasteful), but I do want to receive known-good boards.

Thanks for the progress update, btw.
Yes, I would be willing to test the full functionality of the display if someone would lend a display. I should note this will only be done for the people who prefer a direct shipment of the boards.
Is there a demo code for the display available? If so....I'll download it, and have it ready for testing.
I just checked with the second stencil supplier. He stated, that the stencil will be cut tomorrow. So we are looking at next week before finished units can be shipped.
That gives us a few days to get some other assembly jobs out.
If someone can let us borrow a screen, we will be happy to do a full functional check on the ones direct from us.
Whereabouts are you, James? Maybe there's someone in your neighborhood with a screen.
Otherwise I'll consider mailing you one if there're enough people asking for direct shipment. So far all I know of is James Michael Huselton and maybe me.

Ha....I seriously doubt it. I am literally in the middle of no-where, in Central Alabama. Not a lot of "Techno geeks here". Not saying anything bad about Alabama....just the nature of my area.
I appreciate the offer. If there are not too many, I could just ohm the boards. That will not tell if they will function, but would give results for a partial test.
I took a box with me to ABQ for James...· Packed 2 (less than perfect, but functional) screens and a courtesy breakout board of mine (just in case).· Now, just need to find a Post Office tomorrow...

Thanks Ray,
I hope the extra breakout boards help you sell those screens. I love to play with things even if they do have a scratch.
6 people have requested for direct shipping but only 4 of them have paid for the boards yet. If your paypal payment is under a company name and you made direct shipping request in your own name please send me an email. If you have not made payment I will be sending James Long the direct shipping list Tuesday so you must make payment on my web site (propmodule.com) before then if you want direct shipping.
Please remember for direct shipping your address must be in the United States and you must email me(square root of negative one @ gmail.com) the following:
I, __________, hereby grant Matthew Cornelisse and propmodule.com to release my contact information to Lil-Brother LLC
Thanks everyone for your patience and support I will do my best in the future to minimize wait times and keep providing you cheap electronic solutions.

I apologize for the brain lapse on the last post. I do know you are north of the border and not in California but Canada but the brain cells are slowing down.
Well James was up late last night assembling the boards. have not heard from him since 3AM(my time think that is only 1 for him). Hopefully he can update us today of the status.

We have the boards assembled, but the rework is going real slow. Since we used Kapton as a stencil, the apertures were not as small as really needed. All the boards came out the same. All parts were good except for the screen connector. It has solder bridges.
These boards are RoHS compliant, so the rework does take longer. We are leaving the bridges on the places that are connected anyway (on the pads which are invisible). They will not be very aesthetically pleasing, but should work fine.
I'm also trying to get time to wire up a test plug for the boards. I do not have a board that will directly fit the breakout, so I'll try to get to that tomorrow.
Next time a metal stencil will be used to insure no solder bridges on the connectors.
to connect these to the prop in 6 bit mode compatible with rays paint program you need to use the following pins(pin numbers can be changed in software)
Pins 16..23
B0,B2,B4,B6 are shorted
B1,B3,B5,B7 are shorted
R0,R2,R4,R6 are shorted

Ray,
That would be great. That woul d prevent anyone from having to give up their screen for testing.
I figure a scratched screen will work just fine. If the touch part is not damaged.

Not sure who you were directly answering ( because of the comment on customs taking time - I am in Indiana , you are in California?)
You were obviously not answering me directly but you did answer my question. If you were answering me then we have a mix-up in addressing.
Have a great day!!
