Does anyone in Central PA have a KFD100 for sale or onr I can borrow to keyload?

[dmason04]

Howdy y'all,
I'm looking for a KFD100 tool and since they are sold out, I'm looking for one on RR that I could borrow or buy from someone. I live in Central PA near Penn State. If anyone knows of one for sale or that I can borrow, please send me a message or reply here!
Thanks,
David

I'm looking to buy one of these as well. I have the software and hirose adapter. I ordered the hirose cable from the KFD website but have not recieved a shipping notification from them. I ordered it on Oct 21 of this year and have heard nothing. Does the owner of KFDtool come on here at all?

The device is a project from another website. You can ask about status over there.

In the same place, one could even learn to build one themselves with parts readily available.

That would be a $500 or more hassle in parts and labor to build an item that retails for $200. I suspect there are only a handful of people on this entire planet that have successfully built a working KVL and the guy who makes the KFD100 is one.

Can you link that website here?

I believe that would be against the RR rules.

Would you be able to PM me? I didn't realize that was against the rules

I don’t know if it’s against the rules. A moderator will have to say if we can link to the other site.

Ok, thanks.

If you just Google KFD tool store, you'll find what you're looking for.

Where is that information? I don't see it on the site.

I was speaking of the Arduino project. If one has the gumption, they can make it happen with open source code and off the shelf components that are not in limbo.

 

[mancow]

What arduino project are you speaking of?

How would one go about creating one with the Arduino Project?

Link away. No issues.

I believe that would be against the RR rules.

I believe that the rules you refer to prohibit buying, selling, or sharing copyrighted software on this site. I'm not aware of any prohibition against links to sites where construction of a hardware device is being discussed.
