Dust,
Thanks for your reply. When sourcing parts I did notice that Kliment has made a lot of expensive choices and its not surprising to me that the board costs more than competitors. It does bug me a bit though that complaining about $30 etc because as someone who has made a few boards, I have noted that it is not theoretically possible to sell boards at the Chinese prices if you are using genuine good quality parts (even if you make 10,000). I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole personally because you have no idea what you are getting. Nothing against the Chinese, I have many good friends etc, it just bugs me that people think because they can get a board for $10 then the genuine developers etc are ripping people off, without realizing, a $10 board has a load of junk on it that will either not work correctly or fail (or set on fire) etc.
I will take a look at the freenode for some help.
Still would love to hear from any 4PI users here though, anyone out there???
Thanks again!
