Another Help find something post

[muddy0409]

Hi all.
I suppose everyone knows what a "logic probe" is and looks like?
Well, does anyone have any idea where I can find some of those beaut little plastic cases to build a PIC into.
There is a site in US but they only supply schools, so I don't qualify.
Maplin don't have any, and I can't find any over here in Australia.

Once again, thanks a lot.

Quick google for "Logic probe case" threw up

http://baec.tripod.com/projects/logic_probe.htm which uses a case from Maplin http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=FT31&doy=12m1&source=15

Yeah, seen both those Keith.
The first one is the one that only sells to schools and the Maplin one is not really a probe case at all, just a small square box.
I did buy a couple of them, but just not what I'm after.
Thanks anyway.

oh well.... worth a try!

I used to spend a fortune with Maplin and always got a free trade catalogue.

One year they didnt send it so I phoned to ask why....

MAPLIN: "you didnt spend enough money last year"

ME: "thats because you discontinued everything I used to buy"

End result.... I have spent less at Maplin in the last 6 or 7 years than I used to spend in a month.

I now buy most of my stuff from Rapid, CPC and Farnell

Just looked at Rapid....

WOW! That's EXACTLY what I am looking for...
Signed up and ordered.....Minimum order (outside UK) = 100quid. Dammit, don't want that many!

Have to keep looking......

Thanks again for the effort Keith.

BTW, just had a look around your website. This HA stuff is something I am very interested also, but have not done a whole lot with. I do have a few X-10 modules that will be used somewhere, somehow, soon.
I also developed an interface that plugs into a commercial alarm panel and feeds commands to the X-10 network. Works brilliantly too.

How many are you looking for ?

I order from Rapid quite often so could easily add some to the order and ship them off for you.

[muddy0409]

That would be great Keith.
I'm looking for 6 of the small ones ATM.
Can I pay you by Card, or Paypal? by any chance?
Don't forget the postage.
