[time-nuts] M12 furono (also GT-8031)

[Mark Sims]

The M12 boards arrived today, but there is a small problem with them.  The 
holes for the receiver 2x5 .050 spaced pins are too small.  The Furuno pins 
measure around .003" wider than the Motorola pins (that fit, rather tightly) so 
probably also some PCB  drill hole/plating tolerance issues.   Next spin of the 
boards will have the holes .006" wider.

I got in my prototype Furuno GT-8031 adapter boards in and it is working well.  
 Lady Heather now works with the GT-8031.

The M12 prototpe adapter boards have shipped from OSHPARK a couple of days ago. 
 They might get here today.

I have since updated the adapter boards to add a CR2032 backup battery.  Also 
the GT-8031 board now has H.FL and SMA connectors for connecting an antenna 
without having to chop up the antenna pigtail on the 8031.   The 2mm and 50 mil 
headers have not yet arrived from China.

I have a unit out to Mark Sims for eval and testing with Lady Heather.

Furuno isn't honoring last year's quote.   For qty 100+ they quoted me
$35.00 each.  That was the quote for qty 1 last year.  I pushed back and
they dropped it slightly to $33.94 -not much of a discount and that's their
1000+ unit price.

Assuming all is well on the Lady Heather front I will offer them at the
$35.00 price+shipping, whatever that may be.  When they were several
dollars cheaper I didn't worry about moving them.  At this price, I don't
want to risk having 65 sitting on the shelf and 65*cost to pay back on the
toy card.This way I can open a time period for orders and just order as
many as are needed.  If it's over 100, I will absolutely pass the slight
savings on to the buyer.

Hang tight!
