adn6244 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) mouz, I'll register my interest here while I am not sure I may want to order from the "enterprise". Will see how this one goes first. Let me know if you need my help on this order. Edited December 27, 2008 by adn6244 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouz 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2008 No worries man, I feel the same as you. It s just an interest check to work out the costs, not confirmed anyway. 1. mouz 2. Stephen Chung 3. adn6244 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
habba 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2008 I'll like to hear about the cost first. but i'll express my interest! Count me in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouz 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2008 Tentatively, it's just USD12 for the PCB but I'm considering adding stuff not easily available from farnell and RS like PCM2707PJT and WM8501, need to look at the BOM again and let you guys know again. If just this 3, price will be USD21.30 without shipping. Depending on the weight of the shipping, cost varies, AMB uses USPS. If package stays below 1 pound, its USD23/pound for shipping. Considering how volatile the currency rate is, cost will vary quite a bit too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not advisable bro, there's SMD soldering to be done. You'll need a fine tip solder to do this project Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Base charge is abt S$13+ plus shipping fees by weight minimum S$4+. amb will ship to vpost address at less than US$10 so add up still slightly cheaper. IF..la...If you are shipping other stuff from USA, the combined costs may be cheaper. I do online purchase from time to time and if the timing of this order coincide with my purchase, I may be able to help with the order and vpost shipment. what is SMD soldering? can I buy the tools and learn? I dont mind buy few tools to learn. Bro, google will help u with some basic informations HERE This is a good article that I found when I first started into DIY soldering. May have better reference but I find it good enough for my usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
