YAPP production line - view from the factory floor

[AngusMcDoon]

Just when I read this and thought "That's exactly what I want" you stop production!

If they haven't been sold, may I order two please? (One for each berth).

Production is never stopped. However, the circuit boards come in batches of 10 when there is sufficient interest, and the other components when I can make up an order of value at least £20. I think I have 1 circuit board left from the last lot, but not 2. Anyone else want one? It takes 3 weeks to get the boards delivered, so will be a few weeks before I have them again.

I can wait especially for something that sounds superb. I was anticipating having to fork out around £400 for a Raymarine Tridata (which isn't as useful!).

Come on the rest of you!

Go on then, I will have one for my forecabin.

Please let me know quanta costa!

Thanks for the effort Angus.

Cost is my build and postage cost, about £14, plus any donation you'd like to make to my new oscilloscope fund. The new soldering iron and new multimeter funds have now both reached their targets and are complete.

What 'scope do you fancy? In my days, (very early days, as a main frame designer ( - anyone remember Ferranti?)) my Tektronix lived on a substantial wheeled trolley and took two people to lift it!

Picoscope or similar so that it is not too bulky to take boating so I can continue to YAPP while afloat, dual channel, 100MHz will do nicely thank you.

Around £700 from Farnell?

We need another 25-30 orders then chaps!

The Picoscope 2207 is about £500 including vat.

Ah, I was looking at the 3000 series. Shrunk a bit over the years haven't they?

They arrived this morning and I must say look extremely professional.

I will have no problem housing them as they will sit in a black plastic panel on the above berth cupboard end. Now to fire them up.

'Scope contribution on the way.

Thanks - brilliant!

My idea of not specifying a price as I'm not a commercial outfit and don't want to use the forum to make a profit is not working out as I expected. People are offering far more than I'm happy to accept! So here are my new guidelines - minimum price is the cost, i.e. £13.54, maximum is a tenner more than than, £23.54. Any amount between that is fine by me, particularly so if it's a super-prime or smooth number, or some other mathematically pleasing value.

Please consider the excess as our contribution to your non-profit-making R&D Department.

Mine too.
Sterling effort!

Any contribution above that will go into my new oscilloscope fund for future YAPPfoolery.

Looks good value, but my YAPPing efforts are not going to allow me to afford one. A significant number of recipients that I have sent YAPPs to have never made any contribution at all leaving me out of pocket. In total I have broken even, but only just.

That is outrageous, you should have built in a time delayed erase algorithm.

That is terrible, one hopes they have forgotten so perhaps reminders are in order. I'm 99% sure that I paid up front, but if reminders don't work, them name and shame.

Angus, I want one if you are going to continue production.

It needs sending to Switzerland but I can post a cheque on my UK bank ... or alternatively, I have a PayPal account - whichever is more convenient for you.

Must admit I am amazed that such an altruistic effort on your part can result in anyone not immediately contributing - shame on them.
