First and foremost it's worth pointing out that this is a "build it yourself" project, save for the SMT passives that will come preattached, so if you're just looking to get an ST to tinker with, there are much easier paths. :)

OK I'm in :) Put me down for a board (assembled) if possible please.
Cheers!

H5 ordered :D

Given my glacially slow progress with the second H4, I'd better start the ordering/hunt for a donor system now :lol: :roll:

True...though a lot of the chips for the H5 are not using the same packages as the original STF/M & H4... :shock:

First batch of 30 under review.... :hide:

Seeing how much this order is, it probably would have to have been split over a couple months anyway else it would max out my credit card!

@exxos - I would go with a first 30 batch and see how they turn out. Then if all good go for the next batches.
