Thanks! How's everyone doing?
Believe it or not I am still around, just wandered through the forum a couple times in the past couple of weeks looking to replace a lost flashlight. Darn busy still, but hopefully will be getting some free time within the next year.
Still have a pile of parts here for these regulators, thinking about getting back to them if there is still any interest? Folks who want them should get some of the remaining high-current sockets, not sure there's any good replacement for those KIU units. I see Waion has some on here now. For low current bulbs lots of sockets work, but for the higher currents those are really better than any others I've tested.
I think when I get this moving again I'm going to have to simplify it for me. Something along the lines of I'll build, program test and calibrate the PC board, and ship a "semi kit" with the mechanical parts and PC board EXCEPT THE SOCKET. The user can solder in their socket and assemble it. User programming is still possible but it can be tricky to get all the software working and many folks don't want to mess with it. I can optionally provide low current sockets, but I can't provide the high current units.
I still have KIU sockets that a few people sent me, these will be returned with their order, or separately upon request. I'll probably give folks who already sent me sockets a priority, but don't want anyone else to send me sockets in the future.
I also have extra machined aluminum drop-in bodies for folks who want to roll their own setup. This is very nice machining.
At any rate I have to take it slow as it cannot overtake other higher priority activities.
