Basic engine work in progress give away

paulgreg

In the previous months, I tried to assemble 5 basic engine boards without any success. :-(
I’ve soldered components on 5 boards, tried to finish one but wasn’t able to make it boot.
Since I spend a lot of time, some money (and some frustration), I decided to give up my boards, stencil and some CMS components to anyone interested to debug / finish them.
I think I’m not ready for CMS soldering yet. :/

You can take a look at the boards here to see by yourself if they can be recovered :

If you think you can fix them, I will simply ask for delivery costs (or nothing if you’re able to come to Paris, France to take them).
Also, if you’re able to make a few boards work, I would appreciate that you send me one working back (but that’s not an obligation).

Grégory,

That sounds extremely frustrating, to have ordered nice boards. Populated them with components, and then not to have them work.

I do not consider myself an expert, but I have been on the lookout for a Basic engine ebay lot or something in Europe. therefore I have interest in your stranded project. However, I cannot make any promises and it all depends on the costs to get the boards and components here....

Could you give me a rough estimation of the costs to get them to Holland?

Hello,
The package is about 280 grams.
According to laposte.fr, it seems send the package would cost about 12.55 € to send it to Netherlands.
I may try to use a bubble wrap envelope instead of a box which could reduce a little bit the cost.
Send me your home address in private message or by email (me at paulgreg.me) if you’re interested.
