Hi BobuS!Hello,
Just read your post and have at home one Electron which is working with borrowed ULA. I would like to buy one and since our Customs put 20% additional TAX on anything which we buy abroad and costs more than 50euros (transport included), I should look for that "partially assembled" option. How much partially it is?
I guess with that price and transport costs I will get under 50euros. I am from Serbia (not Siberia)
Thanks for your message, I've sent you a PM with your order number (2 boards left on my list), hope you get it ok.
With Partial Assembly, the top board will come fully populated with all passives but there may be a few ICs to solder, depends what JLCPCB are missing from stock - and it will need the ice40 FPGA soldered (they never see to have that). The bottom board will require it's 6 passives which are very small - as you can see in More Fun Making It Lee's video - but only 6 to do. Then all through hole parts - the pins that hold the 2 boards together and programming pins. The FPGA will also require programming too - see the GitHub page for details.
Will be nice to get you Elk up and running again and you can return the loaner ULA
Cheers,
Chris.
