After lots of harrumphing and vowing that I would never do it, I have given in to the arm twisting and put a YAPP into production. At this stage only single figure production run, but I could do more. There are 9 available. The YAPP I've made up a PCB for is the mini Seatalk repeater, details in this thread...

So here is an assembled version on its PCB along with the other boards...
This is what it looks like assembled...
So who wants one? I'm not setting a cost. If anyone would like one, send me a PM and I'll assemble one for you and get my Dad to post it. (This may take a few days for him to shuffle down to the post office as he's a bit old, and forgetful too, you might end up with an empty envelope or his pension book in it). When you've got it, if you want to keep it, send me a contribution of your choosing. If you don't want to keep it, send it back.
There's no case supplied with this. Either figure that out yourself, or you can install it in a cut out somewhere with just the display showing. There are no buttons; it comes on when the Seatalk bus is powered. The backlight is controlled by backlight messages from other instruments like all Seatalk devices. No assembly is required. There's a 3-way connector which is labelled R, Y, B for the 3 Seatalk wires. That's all you need to do. No soldering, no programming, it will be ready to go and tested on my boat first. The power draw at 12V is 20mA backlight off. Another 5-20mA with backlight on - it varies with the level chosen.
If anyone wants one, let me know by PM. I don't have the components in my state of the are stock control system yet, a couple of tatty cardboard boxes lurking next to the pot-plants...
so it will be 2 or 3 weeks before you get it to give me time to get the bits, assemble them, go to the boat to run a test before hassling the old codger to get down the post office.
If anyone wants to do a more DIY job, sauce code, schematic and layout are all available that I can send, or I could send just a bare PCB, or a PCB with a programmed processor on and nothing else.
