Pre-assembled mk161

Kits General
1

I would like to purchase a pre-assembled mk161 kit, is there a way to buy it pre-soldered and assembled?

2

It’s a mini kit from level 2. This means that even a 14 year old should be able to solder that together. A soldering iron and some solder from Velleman are also not expensive. Another thing I see, is that people always have an electronics enthousiast in the family who can do it.

I spent 3 hours trying to learn to do this, f’d it up royally, and now feel nausious from the fumes…
Someone out there, name your price, I WILL pay you to put one together and send it to me.

You don’t have to sniff all the solder! :stuck_out_tongue:
Soldering is easy if you understand the process. One of these months I will make a video on HOW to solder correctly and yes, that is not always what you learn at school (some schools do teach you the art correctly but there are some who don’t).
Perhaps it is easier for everybody when you mention your country you’re in. If you try to give an e-mailadres PLEASE cloak it a little or you’ll get spammed by all weird people who want to sell you the most stupid things like drugs and viagra…

I’m in the USA. I’ll pay anyone (anywhere) to just do this for me and send me the completed component. I’m not going to bother futzing with it anymore. Anyone up for it PM me.

So much easier if someone could have mentioned vm122… finally found it and won’t have to deal with soldering any more!

7

But if you want relays like the MK161, you also need the VM129…

8

Will the vm122 on it’s own work for this?

9

If the switches of the remote control connect to ground when operated, yes: you can connect the negative of the batteries of the remote then to the ground of the VM. If not: you have to use the VM129.

I have absolutely no idea what you just said. I just want to use my harmony remote to control my bias lighting. This should not be this freaking hard! Please take a look at my remote board and let me know if the VM122 is enough. SW1 turns it on, SW2 turns it off.

SEEMS like you need the relay card. Sorry but I can not spend lots of minutes trying to find out the schematic of your RC based on a photograph. IRL I just take a multimeter… :wink:
