The Konker Connection - Blog 8 - 1st LCD Test

5 Nov 2017

This project is still experiencing lots of software issues and some parts have not arrived yet, but time is running short and the project needs to move ahead. My custom PCB interface card is taking a very long time to arrive. It shipped by air 20 days ago and doesn't even look like it has made it into Canada yet - that is one very slow aircraft.

For this blog, I have been forced to use a breadboard, but at least I am programming the Nucleo, and since this part of the project is all my own code, I am having a much easier time getting it running the way I want.

Nice update Douglas,

20 Days for air is indeed strange. How many airlines does it take and how many stops do they take?

Where did you get the boards done so we can avoid these types of delays.

I use itead. I've tried several others, but this one has been best so far. They take about a week to make a batch of cards. There are 3 shipping options - the courier takes a few days and their cheapest rate takes a few weeks. For this I chose the middle option - airmail. It must have got stuck somewhere...
