In case you didn't see the email, I am now taking orders for the adapter harnesses!

I have under my desk 3,000 terminated wires. Couldn't find that lady from the video, so I settled for a robot :p

Glad you wrote as the email went to my junk folder for some reason yet your other emails never did before. Odd, but again thanks for the heads up. Adapter ordered :)
Oh I do have to ask... I believe I read in previous info from you that this adapter harness is NOT necessary, if the buyer is willing to de-pin the factory wire harness to take those 6 pins and put into another wire connector that comes with the BlueBus. If a BlueBus buyer also opts to buy the extra adapter harness, will the buyer still get that 6 pins connector you were originally sending with the BlueBus? I am hoping so but have to ask.

I saw you ordered! I think you're the only one in that Canadian province getting a BlueBus :rofl:. Weird that it went to spam, but I noticed that less than 100 adapters have sold, so I figured I'd post the heads up.

I can add the de-pin adapter to your order for free, but it's an option on the order page ;)

Those housings cost $1 each, so I was trying to avoid spending the extra $500 if people weren't going to use them...

Thanks!

I have a BUNCH of ppl waiting till I get mine and have installed and working to show them, they all said.

I figured the BlueBus was going to come with the de-pin adapter (and I'm extremely capable of doing it that way too), but just in case I wanted to be lazy on this (or future) installs I wanted the 54 pin adapter cable too. Sorry I didn't realize it was not included if one was to order the extra adapter but I totally see what you are trying to do for cost savings. Smart!! I'd appreciate that de-pin adapter with my order please.

Mike,

I added the de-pin adapter to your order.

Hopefully you and everyone else likes the unit!

Thanks!

I know that I am excited to receive mine [emoji16]. That said, I can be lazy and I don’t feel de-pinning but I didn’t see the option to order the adapter on the website, or know how to add it to my existing order anyway? I’m sure I missed something?

Howdy!

Can you check your spam for emails from me?

If you don't find anything, email [email protected] with the email you used to place the order and I will create a link for you to purchase the adapter.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

BlueBus units were supposed to ship overnight to me today, but instead I got this update from the Fab house:


Quote:

Ted,

The PCB's have been through the Pick N Place line and QC. We had some LED orientation issues which are being fixed and the QA manager was not happy with the board edges. The boards are being reworked and sanded. The boards will ship 3/6. I am sorry for the additional delay however, quality is something we do take seriously and while I know you want these as soon as possible, the additional delay will ensure higher quality.

Regards,

Jerry

I asked for pictures of a production board to verify that everything was correctly oriented (it is). Here are the pictures I got back:

Thanks for understanding, guys!

A bit of an update about cases: The manufacturer essentially bailed on me -- that's what I get for dealing with an individual rather than a reputable manufacturer.

Anyways, it looks like the cases are going to be mass 3D printed again, and I have gone ahead and placed an order for a small amount of units to verify fitment. If all goes well, they'll not be too far behind the BlueBus.

For you international guys, I'm trying to work with the manufacturer who bailed on me to get all the units that have already been made, that way I send completed units overseas, and send PCBs out to U.S. customers. The rationale is that I don't want to pay for international shipping more than once, but I also don't want to leave you guys hanging.

Thanks!
-Ted
