Well, they look cheap to me...


SIRF III, with built in active antenna. £12.00 - but plus VAT and £5.00 P&P

Are you going to do a group purchase. I could use one of these.

Thanks, look interesting :)

I like the expensive USB<>UART device they are using (i.e. a whole arduino) !

I like the connectors, easy to use .

OK - I'm happy to mange this - though I think it needs to be done quickly - it was a facebook post and seems to be quite popular.

Cut off time to group buy by 1500 this afternoon.

So far I have:

OK, ordered.

I managed to persuade them to upgrade the delivery to UPS (FOC), as I don't trust Royal Mail with an envelope worth this much.

Final Cost per person is £14.94, inc shipping and VAT

I can take payment for these via Cash, Paypal or credit cards.

Hello

Thank you for your help.

I can pay by PayPal.  I know they will deduct some money.  Do you know how much they will reduce by?  I can increase the payment by that much.

Also the email you are using to post here the one to use for PayPal ?

Thank you

Ashfaq

They only take a cut if you say it is for goods and services, just say it is a gift and they dont take a cut.

Gareth, just sent you £15

Thanks for the payments guys, all good. If anyone else is planning to do this can they use paypal @ sport-alive .com as the target address.

I'll update you when they arrive.

Thanks Andy,

I'm afraid I made an error with the paypal address - in my hast to try to obsfurcate it a bit from bots, it should be paypal @ sports-alive.com 

Sorry. I'm assuming you can just recover the payment, as it's an invalid account. If there are any issues then please get in touch and I'm sure we can resolve them

They've arrived - Big brown box with lots of small shiny bags :-)

I'll bring them down to the New space tomorrow night - if that suits people. As I almost have to pass the old one on the way, I could drop in there too.
Or, if you're in Twyford and want to pick up personally please get in touch.

Gareth

I think this highlights the need to get the member boxes sorted out, so that stuff like this can be put into the members box. We probably also need a box for non-members for the same purpose.

Andy et. al.

Sorry for the delay in replying - been rather (unusually) busy.

I'll be at the space after 2000 on Wednesday. If people are not there to collect, I'll work out some way of leaving the modules behind for collection.

I may be at the SMD session - depends on when I get out of London tomorrow afternoon/evening.

regards

They're labelled.

Paul Hegarty - I think you collected yours a couple of weeks ago, first night at the new space - can you confirm (or I've managed to lose one!)

Have fun - I've got mine up and running sing the arduino sketch on the suppliers site without any problems....
