Hi Sety, I'm interested, but in the UK. What are we looking at for postage to here, or is the $10 AUS an overall figure?
AUD $21.20 for economy, $28.20 for tracked. :(
Unless you can somehow convince them it's a letter.
EDIT: You probably could convince them it's a letter! For $7, Max weight is 125g and up to 20mm thickness. If you can get it down to 50g it's only $3! :thumbup:

They all got sent as letters. I did have to do a customs declaration for each one which was really time consuming. I told the guy at the post office that the boards were unpopulated and so technically not electronic devices. Fortunately he was Chinese and completely understood.
Apologies on any late replies. (I've been busy in my new job) All surplus boards have been shipped, however I do get boards made often and I will give away surplus here. :)
I notice that someone has posted the Gerbers for the Falcon mainboard on dev-docs, which is really cool... For giggles I priced a production run and it was about $800AUD so too much for me (although that's for 10 units, price is the same if it's one or ten) Still, it'd be a cool thing to do if enough people are interested. :)
Cheers,
Stuart

Wow, Falcon sounds super cool, but can you get all the parts?

Surprisingly it seems you can (for now). There was a guy battling with a burned out Falcon board just last year (possible CT60 power connector error - I polarised mine for this exact reason!) He replaced almost every single IC on that board to get it to work. Most of it came from BeST.

Not as close as I'd like to be :(
4 days in bed with the flu didn't help either, and now I have a TF520, TF530 and NetUSBEE added to my to do list, along with the STF remake.
If I had a part time job or was retired, I'd be well sorted. Sadly not

Luckily RJ I'm retired but lately I've run into a bout of procrastination. Need to get crackin on the 530's I have. Good luck on the Exxos board, you must be close.
