Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all
Does anyone have a current email address to Circuitgizmos as the one in his web page is like a rubber ball.
Thanks

He has been very quiet lately. That's not like him. The web site still seems functional.

Hey I'm still here!

I just got mail on gizmo2009 @ circuitgizmos.com so I'm not sure why there were bounces.

I also have circuitgizmos08 @ gmail.com and have been receiving email on that without issue, too.

  Quote  is yet another vendor gone off the map......


Shy of fatal accident, I intend to be here for the long haul.

  Quote  He has been very quiet lately. That's not like him. The web site still seems functional.


I guess I have been. Getting the document put together was a big push that took away from some other things. The other things have pushed back. I'm seeking equilibrium.

Also: When I run out of CGCOLORMAX2 to produce, I will be making CGCOLORMAX2-b that has a couple of very minor design fixes.

CG,
How about a jumper to enable/bypass sound output RC filter for PWM square-wave use?

Not a criticism ... you've got a great board already.

I already put a header in for connection directly to the PWM lines.

I am interested and yesterday I used Gizmo's online shop to order.

But the shipping and handling to Thailand is somewhat unrealistic:
$ 5,000.00 is presented when processing the cart.
The final cost for one Gizmo color maximite is $5,049.99.

Add to that 30% import tax and vat and it will be at least 6500$. :)
I guess it goes haywire with a wrong decimal point (comma) or different currency.

I am also in Thailand, whereabouts are you?
It might be handy when we can share shipping in some cases.

Notheast, Roi Et, since 9 years.

I don't order many times a year and the chance to share is most probably not many times given. Last time I used to order in Australia. But the Gizmo's Model would fit to my project in a better way then the original maximite. I own one of them, the first model, standard B/W maximite. This controls very reliable my own built "Solar hot water" istallation.
My home country is Switzerland and my native language is german. And what about you?

Hi Gizmos

This is what I get when I try to email you.

The following message to <gizmo2009@circuitgizmos.com> was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.4.7 - Delivery expired (message too old) 'Multiple DNS queries were attempted and failed: DNS Soft Error looking up mailhost.cnchost.com (AAAA) while asking recursive_nameserver1.parent. Error was: unable to reach nameserver on any valid IP'

any ideas

I just tried it out and I can see it from Internode.

Please let me know if anyone else has issues with either email address:

gizmo2009 @ circuitgizmos.com

circuitgizmos08 @ gmail.com

You can drop me a line to say HI.

Even better let me know what you are doing with your CGCOLORMAX or CGMMSTICK.

Probably your service provider his DNS server is not working very well.
I had the same problems with mine until i got tired of it and changed it to googles public DNS.
You can change the DNS your computer is using by going to the tcp/ip configuration of your router (DHCP settings on LAN) or your computers network card (TCP/IP). Specify it, so not use DHCP to get the DNS information.
Googles public DNS is on 8.8.8.8 and the secondary is 8.8.4.4
You could also leave the first as it is now and put in one of googles as a second.

Some posts before I talked already about this.
I use a B/W Maximite to control my Solar Hotwater installation.
Now I want to replace the Maximite with CGCOLORMAX.

But you still not answered my questian about the shipping cost to Thailand. And you also not aswered my message sent from your Homepage (2 or 3 weeks ago)

Asking a few times an no respose, sounds to me like:
http://www.circuitgizmos.com/ is probably not a reliable onlineshop.


But I am patient. Gizmo has still another chance to answer.

My Problem: shipping cost to Thailand is noted with $ 5000.-

You can't send something to a home page. Do you mean email?

Did you ask a few times, or just once?

It might be that your email is filtered out as looking to my server's email scanner as spam.

My reply is that CircuitGizmos does not ship to Thailand. Please read this page:

If there is a Form it would be possible to send a message from a webside.
And this is exactly what I did. But not from gizmo's page. It was sent from "thebackshed". Memberlist, Gizmo, Email Button opens such a form. No mailaddress is to see so I can not answer where it was sent to.

Do to missing answer I sent also a very commen mail to an mail address found somewhere on "thebackshed" or on "circuitgizmos".

The Gizmo's Cart let customers choose Thailand as destination country and this is why I not searched the website for mor information about this item - sorry.

Problem solved, thanks for reply
