    thanks.
    Payment received - thanks much. List on post #2 updated.

    The standoffs did not arrive on Sat, so Eric and I are going to work with UPS tomorrow (Mon) to try to find out where the package is, and why it is running late. As soon as we know more tomorrow I will let you and everybody else know.

    Another update guys ...

    We are still going to try and find/locate the package with the large number of standoffs that is somehow MIA (missing in action!), but to make sure I can get your paid packs completed and shipped "for sure" I went ahead and just placed a new order with McMaster-Carr for enough standoffs for these packs and paid extra for next-day (overnight) delivery, so basically this order (parts show in stock) leaves tomorrow Mon and will arrive on Tuesday for sure

    I will keep with updates as I get new/updated information. Once again my apologies for these unforeseen delays

    McMaster-Carr isn't the cheapest supply house around, but their inventory is incredible and their service is unmatched. Because they are so close to me, if I order today, I'm delivered tomorrow..UPS ground.

    My office, workbenches and storage cupboards and cabinets are filled with their baggies.

    By the way guys, I finished the 4 packs just now. I have to work on the documentation, serial numbers, and packaging, but I am first going to have some lunch. I will post pictures later today when I come back from shipping them.

    Very good service and selection, although sometimes pricey.

    By the way, I shipped both of your PhD-M6 packs in a single small flat rate USPS box, so I refunded you $5 for the shipping in the second unit.

    OK, some photos of today's work ...

    Since each pack is unique, I keep very good records of everything. Before I go to the bench I have my work order, as shown here (the 4 assembled driver boards on top-left):



    Once a board has tested OK in taking to the programming station, I then do the initial assembly into a battery holder as shown here (new steel standoffs at bottom of first picture):





    I then do my tests and calibration, and when everything checks out perfectly, I then test with real cells on a real M6 (with the MN21 bulb):



    After each pack has passed all tests, I note the owner and voltage set, so that I can later make sure I send the right pack to the right owner. That little blue label stays with each pack, and then on the outside of the actual shipping box until I can verify that the shipping label matches the intended owner:



    Here are all 4 packs ready for serial number, documentation, and packaging:



    I just came back from the post office - all 4 packs have now been shipped. Tempest UK since you paid extra for EMS, I just sent you an email with your international tracking #.

    The "missing" package with the original standoffs has been found and it might arrive here in my house by end of this week - I am happy I decided to order a handful of parts from McMaster so that I would not delay your orders any longer

    Still, I am not perfect. Although I have done this process many, many times, and created the serial numbers for each pack, updated my database, and made sure all shipping information was perfect, I did forget one thing: I created the small serial number label for each pack, but forgot to stick it to the top cover of each pack .

    Since your packs have new steel standouts, that means that your packs start with A6. Then your respective packs have C7, S2, and C5 to denote the custom voltage settings. The last 4 digits of the serial number are just a plain number incremented by one for each pack. The serial number is printed in each of the user guides/handouts, so when you get your respective packs you will know/have your unique serial number. Sorry about forgetting to stick the label there guys.

    Thanks to everyone for your awesome patience with the standoff problems - you guys are great!

    When you get your packs, please do post here so that I know they arrived, and if you can, please post your impressions in the feedback thread.

    Will

    Guess what guys? The package with the steel standoffs arrived today - now I have "plenty" on hand




    On the left the new steel ones, in the middle the steel ones I got from McMaster, and on the right the "questionable" Aluminum ones:

    Hi Will!

    Will,

    My PhD-M6 landed in Australia yesterday . On initial inspection, everything looks to be in good order. I can see that a lot of thought has been put into the design of the pack. I just need to wait for the package with my batteries to arrive before I can light it up.

    I'll take #6.

    I'd like the C5 voltage settings.

    $195 + $5 shipping, plus additional for some machine work you're doing for me, as per our email.

    There's no hurry on this; please hold the PhD-M6 until I send you the parts for machining and send them all to me at once.

    Thanks so much!

    Your PhD-M6 pack is ready. Of course I am holding off shipping until I can do the other work once it arrives.

    Your pack is complete, packaged, and ready to leave, but I did not finish in time today to ship, so it leaves towards you Monday morning.



    Some pictures from today's work. My "work sheet" so that I know what I am supposed to do:



    Pick two new driver boards. Make sure they are functional - program with initial settings:



    Once boards check out, assemble packs:





    Once calibration is complete, test with real cells in an M6 with the MN21:



    Once pack passes all tests, it gets labeled so that I can track during data base entry, serial number creation and stickers, and (most importantly) so that I ship the right pack to the right owner/address:



    Here I am doing the second one:



    Both packs done and ready:

    I finished your pack last night, but I will not be able to ship until Thu/Fri of this week when I am back from travel. Here are some pictures

    Initial test of the board/driver:



    Calibration of the board now mounted on the battery carrier:



    Ready to test the pack in my M6 with the MN21:







    All ready to pack:
