I still have a supply of boards and most parts including the 74ac175 but no
interest in assembly or the kitting process. If someone would like to take
this on then I could provide the boards etc ... in bulk. Because of my
limited space the kitting process takes several hours to do them one at time
:-(

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] PICTIC II ready-made?
I forgot to add that a simple redrafting of the II as an Arduino shield
with appropriate chips and chip passives would accomplish the desired
end without losing the very careful engineering and testing that has
already been done?
Would be nice to have a way to change caps without soldering as well,
maybe just some .1" jumpers?

It might be time for a group project to design a "Pictic III" that uses
parts that are readily available. Today I'd build it around an Arduino
rather than a PIC even if the cost is more. Arduino is programmable by
__anyone__ and plugs into a USB port, no onwwouldhave to supply
programed
chips and because it is so easy to program maybe some users would try to
make improvements and offer them to others.
Other suggestions to do something like this have come up on this list
but
then someone starts talking about using some specialized technology that
99.99% of the readers don't know (like FPGAs) I'd like to see it done
with
25 cent parts and technology a beginner can master
