[time-nuts] PICs

I can program/re-program here in NZ.

I was keeping quiet because I wanted to have a go building one before
ordering 10 or so boards with the Wellington VHF Group as a SIG
activity.

Hi Steve,
my thought at this stage is to use you as a guinea pig.
I'm guessing ZL is (in postal terms) about as far (and as expensive) as
you can get from my local post office.
So it will be useful to know if the PO let it go as a letter (no customs
deceleration etc.).
The next point (not unrelated) is that the board and parts are not
useful without the PIC.
I thought what I'd do is program up a couple I have on hand and get them
in the post to you. That way, you should have them when your ready to
build.
The only downside I can see is that with so many people building these
TICs, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some rapid changes to the
code. Given the price of the PICs, I guess there is no real problem
having a spare set that can be rotated.

If your happy with this idea, send me your address and I'll load the
current code and get them on their way.
