Hi to all and especially tootnkumin. Your last post is absolutely correct and I realize now that I am wrong in encouraging members to leave the forum. I apologize for that. Could you advise me as to better respond to those that are interested?
I understand some scepticism here, but my intent really is to provide my technology for very little money. I can't just give things away, but I really don't intend to make a profit. I'd rather not be in the buy/sell business, but very few modelers have the capability of programming micro's or even just burning them, so I can't just post the code. There's more involved than just the micro though and I post the hardware design and schematics/wiring diagrams on my web page. I'm willing to sell the programmed micro for cost + a couple bucks for my time & trouble. To supply a complete parts kit is a different story and I can hire someone to take care of that end for a bit more, but still way less than anything else I've seen on the market. All my project are for the scratch builders, I don't offer anything pre-made or pre-assembled and most everything can be done for close to $5 worth of parts.
I've been here 10 days now, 9 members have responded. 4 were totally negative, and totally baseless. The others were somewhat positive, especially yours, and 2 indicated that they might want something someday. What I had hoped to do here was to entice a few members to try a couple of my projects and pass the word. (I have given a couple dozen away to area clubs, 1 responded, the rest refused to even email a 'Thank You"! From others I learned that their circuits worked very well.) This is why I encouraged those brave souls that were interested to contact me privately so that I could make them a generous offer! The only string attached would be to help pass the word to the rest of the group. (None responded.)
Am I in the wrong group? Does this forum provide any means of private communication? How were you able to post that video from logandsawman?
