I ordered 2 boards WAY back when. I got a request to pay something like $10 for the 2 boards after shipping. Okay, well that e-mail for payment request went out almost a month ago (Nov. 6th). I made the payment with paypal a couple days later.
Since there are no real updates this is the ONLY place I can ask for some information on what's going on. They have my money, are they waiting for everybody's checks to clear or how's that working?
I'm not really worried too much but I would hate to have my 2 boards given away to somebody that just asked for a board after the group purchase. I saw somebody on the electronics board say he just finished making the board...now I'm a little confused.

 

I also sent a check in early Nov, check didn't clear yet, & I haven't seen the pc board either - expect it to show up soon, though.

n.b. that group purchase was the second GP of boards (at least), so maybe the person who finished one was in on an earlier purchase.

HTH

ps - last time I looked at the archive, the DIY EFI board had recently become moderated - which seemed to dry up a lot of the pissing and moaning posts.

It might contain some technical information again, since there seemed to be an adult in charge now. Give it a look .

 

Haven't gotten mine yet either; haven't even seen a request to pay for my parts kit request either.

 

Yeah, I signed up for one parts kit request also. Oh well, at least I'm not alone, makes me feel better .
You can let this post slide, no need for anymore replies.

 

3rd group buy, all handled by the same guy.

That pissing and moaning was about the future of various other projects. Easy to dismiss something you have no idea of what it means.
It was the same non sense that forced the DIY WB off list and took 2 years to complete.
Amazes me to no end how folks that don't bother to get any facts are so willing to voice their opinion.
The detonation detection project (using ionization levels) is about dead now thanks to some pirate in Australia. We ALMOST had a fool proof detonation detection system for the DIYers. Maybe that doesn't bother you, but for those of us that were working on it, it does matter.
Go back a few years and look at what Programing 101 started (this list being a distant off shoot of it). Tunercat, ditto. The DIY-WB is continuance of that.

 

Yes. This isn't some for profit deal where there is a make-up to include people flaking out. It's a genuine PITA with the way folks double order, change email addresses bounce checks, etc.
The last GP didn't close to like the middle of the month, and the the boards were ordered. They also take time to get manufactured. Going by the original posting every date has been meet. The Boards began being shipped on the 30th of Nov.
Hopefully the US and Canadian orders will be shipped by the end of this week. Internation orders next week.
Again, all within schedule.
If you dropped in late on what was going on, there is no need to get antsy when you could have read thru the archives and gotten up to speed.
The extra boards are what the guy buys out of his own pocket to try and accomodate people.
the guys spending all their off time doing this stuff deserve alot of atta boys, not where's my parts. If they went to answering every darn peice of email they get from folks that didn't do their homework nothing would get done.

 

You're right.

Upon reflection, I should have said 'whining and moaning'.


That I believe to be a fact. If that fact bothers you, that's an opinion.

 

Grumpy, the reason I made this post wasn't for you to tell us we're being a PITA. It was so we didn't have to be a PITA! You obviously don't see that and so I'd appreciate it if you didn't reply to this thread and would just let it slide. I haven't e-mailed them except when I told them I appreciated what they were doing.
Thank you for making me awair that there is a schedule of dates. I never heard of this and if I haven't heard of it I'm sure a lot of people haven't. I got the information about this wideband o2 project from the gm-ecm mailing list and thirdgen, neither of which have any post about these mistory due dates! If it's just on the diy-efi mailing list, please tell them to simply send it to all the lists and maybe a link would help the other people in the same situation as me.
Thanks

 

I have received my boards and parts kits.
Thanks to all the people who made it possible for me to get them.
I could never have built this my self.

You want the info., but only if it's handed to you, but don't want to do anything other then hit reply, and want to gripe when you do get the info..
Then you want to know where the info is with no response.
Please tell me how this all is supposed to work.

Where is the info., to begin with?. yep, at the DIY-EFI site. The WB in and of it's self has nothing to do with the gmecm list. It's interface with a gmecm would, so yes, it in a way does overlap a little.
It's been mentioned here, that it is available from the DIY-EFI area.
Feel free to ignore this posting, since you'd rather not have the information, and I'm posting it for the others in your situation.
Amazing when someone tries to give you a hand when you ask for it you have nothing better to do then accuse them of calling you something when they haven't.
BTW, if I was going to call anyone anything, I would do it in a way that there was no doubt of what I was calling them. If I considered you a PITA, then I wouldn't even reply.
