I already have the Neoloch, but with development halted, I was looking for alternatives and I saw this.
Neoloch is probably all I'll ever need, but this definitely looks interesting!
Quoted from slabbi:Hi,
I am the dev of the RCT. When you have any questions I am happy to answer these.
But I have one request: Please do not post any documents in a public forum. Anyone can download the manual (and supported IC lists) from my website. All other documents are updated frequently and it is not a good idea if old documents are lying around in some forums, which can lead to errors (incorrect ordering of components, incorrect expectations because something has changed, etc.).
Therefore my request to SCUBAking to remove the BOM from both forums. On request, I will be happy to send you the current version personally.
Many Thanks,
Stephan aka slabbi (8bit-Museum.de)
This is just my opinion, but I would suggest posting the BOM somewhere on your site for us to find. If its there, none of us could find it.
I would hold off on buying one until I had an idea of what the parts would cost, what parts I already have on hand, and if there were any surprise parts in the list that were hard to find in the US.
Having a Mouser shopping list would be ideal, as most of us in the US use them as a first line distributor. And even if we don't buy from them, we can print the list out and buy elsewhere or supply our own parts.
If anyone here is unwilling or unable to solder these up, PM me and we'll make a deal.
I assume if you're here reading this and interested in 1 that your soldering skills are to par, but just in case.... I'm offering up my soldering services.
Quoted from ChrisHibler:Definitely.
I've edited my prior post and included a note in the Google "sheet" that I created.
I'll use DigiKey for some parts. GPE is my normal go-to for parts. The support that Ed provides to the pinball community is of great value. I like to reward that. Not lobbying...and YMMV as always.

My sentiments exactly. I order all my molex stuff from him. Caps not so much because I buy in bulk with all these monitors that I keep repairing.

To anyone who has their's built: Can you give us some pros and cons of this vs. the Neoloch Tester?
I already have a Neoloch, but I love buying tools and I am on the fence for buying the RCT.
