I know everyone is waiting for ID-O-Matic IIs, but not yet. However, I do have UKA-2 boards available, assembled and tested. Just pick that option (there’s a drop-down box at the bottom of the item page) when ordering.
Of course I also have PicoKeyer-Plus kits available assembled and tested. Oh, and I fixed a problem with the comments so you can post comments again, sorry for the broken link.
Things have been crazy busy around here for a few weeks now. I’m trying to keep caught up on shipping orders, but to be honest I am frequently falling a couple of days behind – so if your order doesn’t ship immediately, I apologize in advance.
I will soon be shipping Rev B of the ID-O-Matic II. No big changes, just a couple of component values are different and a couple of minor PCB errors corrected. I’ve also started introducing pre-assembled kits, beginning with the PicoKeyer-Plus. I plan to add the UKA-2 and ID-O-Matic II in the near future.
And lastly, one of the reasons we’ve been so busy: Say hello to Burke Thomas Wissman, our first grandchild! He was born this afternoon. Mom and baby are doing fine, but everyone involved (including grandparents) are exhausted. Now, I’m going to grab a quick nap and finish a couple of furniture refinishing projects so the nursery can be ready!
Ain't he cute?
Today I finally received new UKA-2 boards. I changed the power input connector from the old RCA jack to the new 2.5mm/5mm barrel connector, commonly found on many “wall wart” type power supplies. It’s also the same connector used on the MK-1, and of course I have listed a matching power cable on the web site.
Not many people liked putting a power supply on an RCA connector — there were just too many things that could go wrong. So, this revision will fix that and make the UKA-2 a little friendlier in the shack. Other than that I rearranged the components a little, but functionally there are no other changes. I’ll have the new kits with me in Dayton, and will have the web site updated later today or tomorrow.
