Koala: I realize I am trying to get in on the game kinda late, but I just got an A2 last weekend. I would be interested in buying an onion ring if your numbers will allow.

Will there be onion rings under the Christmas tree? Actually, hanging them like ornaments might be cool!

Re: A2 dumb LED rings - (Onion Ring)
Thanks to maxspeeds, he and Sgt.LED tested two prototypes. maxspeeds found out that one of the three LED socket on his onion ring is dimmer than the other.
So I tested the first 20 pieces that I have made. I didn't find any problem. They are from my first purchase. However, I found another one which has similar problem when the trimpot is set to low. This chip is a sample chip from the manufacturer. I am not sure if this is the same issue with maxspeeds's unit I need to get it back to confirm the problem. They are the same sample chip as maxspeed's unit. I have contacted the chip manufaturer(Fairchild) to see if they have anything to say about the finding. Hopefully the problem is with the sample chips. I will test all units before I send them out.

Thanks for the update. We are waiting with baited breath. Hopefully, the procrastinators among us, who did not sign up till after production
(me me mememe), will get to try a side order of onion rings (or three).
My A2's are crying for these babies...

Errrr, coming a little late to this one, probably. Is there still open space on the current sign-up/purchase list?

Please correct me if I am wrong but is there an actual sign up list for these mods? I was under the impression that this was more of an interest/progress update thread because Koala was waiting to get it just right from his perspective in terms of the build and price.

If there's a signup post, I didn't see it, but I'd be definitely in for three of these, along with some white, warm white and UV LEDs.

One of my sockets is dimmer too on low with some LED's.
With other LED's you don't ever notice it. Been having good results with some 3mm LED's. When you crank it up a bit more it goes away. You can live with it.
Or maybe add another trace?
