Hi Lance
I just found something odd with the submit to Digikey button on the trans stim page
it seems to generate a much larger BOM at their end 3 times larger
They sent me enough parts to do 3 boards ,...couldn't figure it out until I tried it again
20 item BOM on Trans stim page 57 items on digikey page
Maybe a code problem

Keep up the good work

miwyl,

I just tried it and it works normally for me.

However, you do have to be careful with the order and check it before you send it. If you visit the order page 3 times (even months apart) and click order each time, all the parts keep getting added to the order. To clear the old orders, you have to click the 'New Order' and then 'Create New Order' button on Digi-Key's site.

There is a note about this in step #2 of this page: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/mshftstimbom.htm

Hi Lance
It all makes sense now I did submit it to see what the shipping would be and did see the notation
but didn't add it it up
getting old the only thing that works really well now is the beard
Thanks

miwyl,

I know what you mean about getting older - it's not for wimps!

If you have extra components, someone here might want to by a set of components from you, I suppose. You could start a thread offering them, if you want.

Lance.

Hi Lance
Digikey has the best customer service I've ever seen, the extras are going back on their dime
except for the triplication the order was very smooth
33 hours from order to my door and I live in Ontario Can.
Thanks

Digi-Key is really amazing. I have been ordering from them regularly for many years. I am on an island on the west coast of Canada, and if I order before 2:00pm, I get the order the next morning, and for just $8 shipping. It boggles my mind! That's the main reason why all the MegaSquirt BOMs are done through Digi-Key - they have just been consistently excellent.
