Hello, to everybody, and especially those who sent eMail with help, advice(s) and offers.
In the meantime I received 10 partially populated units from a friend, whom I hadn’t heard from for half a century, and who had 10 pcs. w/ SMD parts ordered at JLCPCB.
No idea how he got the connection (... must have been my name, khtroubleu).
He recently gave up on his project (for various reasons), thus doesn’t need his boards any longer.
From my point of view ... issue closed.
I'll post some more stuff once I get the stuff up'n and running.
Special thx to Ron, who offered to send bare PCBs. No longer needed, thx anyway.
While we are at it, is there anybody close to Gummersbach, Germany, being active in the openPnP world?
Karl
