Beginning this week, I am making a change to how the USB Universal Rig Interface kit is sold. From now on, all of these kits will be sold with the chip and USB connector pre-installed. This will allow me to test each board before it leaves here. It also will avoid having to keep separate stocks of kits with and without the parts pre-installed. The rig-side connector will not be pre-soldered, but although it is SMT it’s not a challenge to install due to the large, easily accesible pads.
I am also adjusting the price – higher than the base kit, but lower than the SMD pre-install price. Cable prices will remain the same, though the cost of the 4-conductor rig cables has gone up sharply from what I had been paying before.
How do I order your new USB rig interface. Where’s the order form?
I will have it listed on the web site as soon as I have the final details. Right now the kit is still in the design phase. I’ll need to finish the hardware design and firmware, prototype it, test it, and determine the cost of the kit.
