To help us get some more coops going we need to know what people need. I posted this to see if there is enough demand for stuff to ask a coop manager to run them.
The poll will run for 14 days.

I procrastinated a bit last year on assembling a few items that ran early, but I would like to say I prefer a SOONER rather than later on a majority of these items. The lead time on the Etherdongle was over 4 months and that caused me to buy usb dongles instead to avoid the stress of not being able to see my new to me equipment work.
Another consideration for me is I plan to run a show in July for the 4th for a few days and hit it hard at Halloween, which to me shifts the seasons up a couple few months over this year.

Just starting. I need 1 etherdongle and 3 Lynx Express. Hope to see a coop on these soon. Jim

Can I suggest this be made a sticky until the pole is closed.

That is a good idea. I can't see how to change this to a sticky. I will see if one of the admins can change it.

I would really like to see Freestyle in this list, although I understand if there really is no demand for it (besides me! I'm looking!)

Added to the list.

The problem is now you may need to reset the pole. If you add things, people who already filled out their desires are unable to go back in to select any additions whether they want to or not.

I only made the suggestion when I noticed i could 'remove vote', but I guess its time bound... I can no longer remove vote to change it (i cannot add my +1 to the Freestyle now)

If you have already voted and you would like to add a vote for a Freestyle, send me a PM and I will add it to my list.

The other issue with this poll is that you didn't include any of the bobcat equipment.

The Bobcat equipment is not from RJ.
If the is a coop for Bobcat or pixelnet splitter kits, it will be run by N1ist. Those are his.

Hard to beleive with 5000 members there is only 145 votes. True a lot are probly not as active as others, but...

And a lot of us have been here for years so we don't need a lot more.

And a lot of us have been here for years so we don't need a lot more.
And I can think of even more reasons. They could be:
- taking January off
- busy getting their plan finalized to determine what they do need
- looking at what they bought last year that they haven't even used yet
- re-finalizing their plans when they see how much their first final set would cost. :)
- busy taking last year's show down
- doing research (both new and old members)
I fall into at least a couple of those, but I put in my $0.02 anyway to make sure I didn't forget.
Regarding the third item up there, I like to think of that extra as what I under-bought for this year rather than what I over-bought for last year. :)
-
what the chance of adding pixelnet to dmx convertor to this list?
-
I would say little to none for the following reasons.
1. This pole for some reason is only for Lynks equipment and the upcoming Pixelnet to DMX converter is not a Lynks piece.
2. Even if it were added, nobody who has already voted could vote for it so he results would be innaccurate.
3. This is a new device so there is little doubt that there will be a coop offering for it so there is no need to ask.

Just because something exists in this forum doesn't make it a piece of Lynks equipment. The DMX tester and the Servo controller also exist here and were not included.
-
We can not tell the other designers when to coop their stuff. They do it when they want to. Because of that having their items listed on the poll does not make much sense. On my stuff we find out what is wanted and then see if we can get someone to run a coop for it. They normally run their own coops. If they want a coop manager to run one for their equipment, since they are all coop managers they simple would ask in the coop managers area for someone to do it.
In my case I have a umber of items and we need to see what the priorities are to make that choice.

I don't see putting those items in the pole as telling them to do anything. It simply gives an indication to them of the desire or demand for their items just like it is doing for yours. I guess that they could do a pole of their own but it just seems easier to me to do it all at the same time.
-
As for the Bobcat coops, I will likely run some this year. I do have bare boards for the servo and the pixelnet splitter on hand if anyone needs them. I have a few ideas for improving the tester; let me play with them before running a coop for it.

I agree that it would have been nice to see the poll include ALL kits hosted at this site.
Further, it would be great to have the store include PCBs for ALL kits.
Obviously there are problems doing this with the store, since paypal needs to be directed to the owner of the boards. ...but I am wishing without regards to practicality. :)

The poll is now closed.
Time to start putting together some coops.

Yeah I am ok.
Fun: As in the coop Managers getting their coops, Members ordering kits, Managers getting money, ordering, sorting, mailing kits out, Members getting kits and soldering them up.. Fun ;D

Any chance someone will start an SSR4 coop? I would like to try and get about anywhere between 50 and 75 PCBs. I have 3 Freestyles and a big project ahead! :o

I plan to buy one of everything I need to get started using SSCs this year. I have already participated in the hub coop--2 active hubs. I will buy SSCs and an ETD, also. Haven't decided how many SSCs yet, though. Still thinking about whether I want to drive a new MT using multiple SSCs or 2 E682s....
-
If you are looking into a megatree, you may want to look at the Zeus. Think of it as a 16 output SSC with each output individually controllable.
-
Thanks tbone. I will do some research in the wiki on the Zeus. Actually I think I might just put my toes in the water this year and buy only a few SSCs to run my arches, which lend themselves more to local controllers than something like a MT. I may use my E682 plus another E682 to run my MT. But the Zeus might do that in lieu of having to buy another E682. More reading for me!! thx

Been MIA for a while and missed out on this poll... however I noticed that the item I am in need of (SSC) was one of the ones it seems a lot of others are needing as well. Looking at past COOP's the last one for SSC was done in April of 2013. I would imagine that based off the results of this poll that there will be another done at some point, I am just curious to know if there is any type of eta on when as I would like to get some in order to have a halloween display this year.

you should put out a WTB (want to buy) request in the forum.
With the introduction of zeus, some people may not be using all of the SSCs they've built in the past. Also, there are earlier versions (v1 and v2) can could be picked up for someone and then upgraded to v3 with minor soldering changes.
