+Stephen Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Got my board today and it looks awesome. Can't wait to get it installed. I've got a bunch of pics here showing the beta and standard board. They may be of some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEditor Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Stephen are all the solder point I see in the pics needed on the production board or just the beta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Stephen are all the solder point I see in the pics needed on the production board or just the beta? I am now running the full production board, and yes - I have all 6 wires connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMartian Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've got a bunch of pics here showing the beta and standard board. They may be of some help. Between your pictures and Candle's instructions, I found it pretty easy to get it installed... I also skipped changing the RD4 and RD5 resistors the first time, but most of cartridges didn't work so I would say make sure they get changed!

Chris Strong Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Two of my five arrived today. So where would I look for instructions or documentation on the board? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon375 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Well here it is a full week since my Incognitos appeared on usps tracking. Still shows them as departing Flushing NY, and no other activity. Have spent 3 hours on the phone with usps and they cant seem to tell me where they are, all they suggest is I wait some more... that seems to be what I have been doing for 14 months now. I cant say when they are going to arrive. I have never had any shipment take this long, and I have ordered from Lotharek a couple times, and his stuff gets here in under a month. This is driving me nutz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon375 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 well, well, well.. My Incognitos finally got here! They just decided to take a relaxing world tour cuz they knew they would work their lil a$$'s off once I got em. In the process of installing them now. Would have been nice if candle would have included the color-coded wires with the kit (especially if he refers to the wires by color in his instructions). Be that as it may, the board is very nice quality. I will post again when I finish up the install. I must admit I was spoiled by Lotharek's "near-solderless" installation for the U1mb. These beasties are a different thing altogether. Lotsa work involved routing the wiring so it doesnt get pinched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon375 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks for the link, Stephen! It did help clarify a couple things I was trying to figure out. Somebody really needs to put together a step-by-step for installing this board, and some basic usage instructions. candle's website shows the basic info, but I get the feeling there are some skipped steps (like drilling a hole in the power board for "mechanical support", then never mentioning/showing it again. Got a hole with no idea what I am supposed to do with it). There are a number of spots like that in his instructions. I have the first one working, and am about 1/2 thru the second. Somehow it is a much larger project than I anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) The hole is to attach a supporting pylon under the board, so simply stick or glue something in it which reaches the bottom casing. These things aren't trivial installations, but there are two different step-by-step guides already.

Dragon375 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Do you have the links for those guides? I have the one on candle's site and Stephen posted a bunch of pics. Are there others? I agree it isnt trivial to install, I'm just trying to make sure I do it right, rather than doing it halfway and having to redo it later.

Foster Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Is there anyone in the USA who has not received their board yet? Sebastian pm'ed me on Feb 1 to confirm my mailing address but I wasn't able to get back to him until Mar 17. ....busy with work. I'm hoping he mailed the board out anyway as my address hasn't changed. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I don't know about them all being shipped but I don't think Candle has read his pm 's since the Feb 1st overnight pm messages. I sent him one on the 2nd Feb and 3rd March which are still unread. Oh and 22nd Sep, but think that was overlooked! Just think he is incredibly busy with work and family life. Hopefully he'll get more time soon, he made some really cool stuff! Edited March 31, 2015 by foft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuel Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm also patiently waiting. Candle pm'ed me on Feb 1, I responded within 10 minutes, and he read my message about an hour later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Firedawg Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I have been waiting on several items from Germany and Poland. Both have taken over 5 weeks and I'm just now getting notice that they are currently going through Customs in NYC. Should get them in the next 3 to 4 days when they are released back into the system. So it will have taken nearly 6 weeks to receive. I'm just so glad I can get them at all. Thanks to our technically talented brothers across the big pond!!!!!

Foster Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks for the updates lads. It seems I am not alone. Obviously Sebastian got very busy with life. I totally understand how things change when children enter the picture. It's been a mighty long time though. Hopefully he will manage to see this project through. From all accounts he appears to be a reputable guy in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Strong Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks for everyone's pointers. I've not yet had a chance to try it out. I hope my other three boards show up. I'm afraid he thinks I'm done and I am off of the list. I bought one for myself, two for friends, and two spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy01 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Any more Incognito's available? I'd like to pick one up if it's not too late. Many thanks! Lump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
