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.

I thought you had vanished!


I had a complete PC meltdown. That was no fun at all.

HI CircuitGizmos, thats the same unit I am using for a project with the uMite. Works quite well and has the 3w amp built in.





EDIT....

I soldered this with my toaster oven reflow setup. It works super well. I am using the Zallus controller for $99. My very first ever board worked right out of the oven. HERE is a picture of my setup including a little laser cut acrylic case I made at work.

WOW! That is a LONG time! It is not uncommon for me to get my orders from China in about a week. The norm is 10 to 14 days with a rare really long wait being three weeks.

Crikey. That WAS a long time.

I always select and pay for the $3 postage option if they give you that option.
You have a much higher chance of things arriving in about a week, maybe two, if you pay the small extra postage fee. Some eBay listings don't give you that choice though.

They are a great wee module - have fun.
