Hello Brice,

   I placed an order for a PSIM-1 module on 3/17/04. Could you please
give me some idea of when I might receive it, if ever? Thank you.

Mike Jeffries

Hi folks.  Sorry for the delay in an update.  As you all know, I started a 
new job and shortly after starting, I had to get things ready and fly out to 
do a show.  I've been out of town at the NAB show in Las Vegas. 
http://www.nabshow.com/  It was a great show, but it was also the first time 
I've done a show at a booth and that was quite an experience in itself.  10 
to 12 hours a day *standing* (not being able to sit down) on a hard floor 
and all the walking to and from the convention center.  If you've never 
been, it's huge.  I've never done so much walking and standing before in my 
life.  But, the new job is much different than the last and this is one 
thing that is involved.

So, I haven't been able to work on the modules in the last two weeks, nor 
have I had Internet access to check emails or anything.  But, I'm back in 
town now (I got in Friday night about 11:00 PM) and after a day of trying to 
recover... have already started on the modules again.  I am making progress 
and another update will be coming soon.

I'm glad to be back in town.  Las Vegas was "interesting" but I was so tired 
by the end of the day I didn't get to enjoy it that much.  It's nice to be 
home.

...back to the modules...

- Brice

Thanks for the update, Brice.

Gary

To all:

	Tomorrow Brice and I will be putting in 8-10 hours each on your
modules.  During the day both of us intend to keep you appraised of our
progress and hopefully (I am going to keep on him until he covers the
status of every un-shipped module so you know where yours is).  I am
hoping that we will be able to ship a good few Monday after the holiday.
 As you heard several days ago Brice has a new job, hopefully this means
we will be able to get several extra hours in each weekend as we both
have Saturdays and Sundays off.  Expect to hear more here tomorrow, and
I will do my best to keep you guys in the loop, and get you an update as
to the future production schedule.

Good to hear from you, Andrew.

Ok, here's the promised update:
* all the led boards for the faceplates are done
* all the PSIM boards are soldered
* 7 faceplates have the ground wires done and are ready to attach to
psim's (we should get most of these done next week)
* 4 are fully wired and will ship to the next people on the list during
this coming week.  These module still requires calibration and testing
therefore they will probably not all ship Monday. but you should hear from
Brice if yours will ship.

I spent most of the day working on the LED boards, while Brice was
matching LED's, this process actually takes longer than soldering them
onto the board.  Once we finished those we moved on to the face plates and
were able to finish several of those.

Gary, as your board has a specific configuration I can give you a status
update on it.  The front panel grounds are wired, and the board itself is
complete.  The LED's are mounted on the front panel but we still have to
put the front panel and the board together... (now where did those damn
standoffs go?)  Once the board is mated with the faceplate it will still
require calibration and testing but should be shipping soon.
