DIY-dimmer: New Year's pre-order printed circuit boards
After the last post, a small but active line-up of the most interested in purchasing the first copies of our DIY-dimmers lined up through the VKontakte group . As in the form of sets, and assembled. We did not plan strong accelerations. It was planned that before the new year we will have only 20 sets for the assembly of dimmers, and the next delivery was expected after a long pause. Working with China makes its own adjustments. A long wait for packages, a long Chinese New Year, ending almost at the end of February.
But it seems that reality will not be so glum. Already before the new year, we should have in our hands a series of several hundred printed circuit boards. Which we would like to share with particularly interested our readers. Details - inside.
A brief introduction to the course for those who first saw our project
We are developing a complete system of smart home. The “first sign” of our system is a DIY-dimmer. Here are its main characteristics:

How much is?
We offer to purchase printed circuit boards and, in such a simple way, to support our project financially a little. If there are no surprises in the way of the party to us, the price tags will be as follows:
- 120 rub. when ordering one board;
- 100 rub. for a fee when ordering from 5 boards;
- 80 rub. for a fee when ordering from 10 boards;
- 60 rub. for a fee when ordering from 25 boards.
What about delivery?
Delivery is planned only in Russia. At least for now. I would like to do without our wonderful mail. We are thinking of trying to use the services of PonyExpress, they have an interesting tariff for parcels from the regions to Moscow and St. Petersburg: 186 rubles for a small box with a delivery time of 1-3 days. If it is inconvenient to send a region-region format from a pony, we will look for other solutions for such items. Most likely with the help of transport companies. Tips are accepted both in the comments and in the PM.
In Yekaterinburg, fees will be available simply by meeting with the author.
How to pay?
There will be no cash on delivery, it will be sent on prepaid parcel cost + delivery. We plan to make the Golden Crown as the central payment channel. They have a lot of branches throughout Russia and not only, plus rather low tariffs. With a large number of people willing to pay differently - options are discussed.
Why so expensive?
How to get cheap (but for a long time), we have already written without any secrets. Consider this proposal as an offer to support the project financially. And not just in the form of donate, but in the form of buying “buns”. A la local small analogue Kickstarter.
When to pay?
When the boards appear in our hands. Approximately the last working week of this year. If you do not have time, you can transfer to the first working week of the year of the next.
Want? Want. Want! How to sign up?
