Title: MNGP dummy -where?
Post by: dgd on December 07, 2014, 08:24:01 PM
I have been trying to locate a couple or more of the Classic MNGP dummy cover.
The only place I can find with stock is AltE at about $33 each. I would normally just buy from them but they seem to only offer the most expensive international shipping at $87 for one and $150 for three. They seem to have stopped using USPS.
Anyone any ideas where else these are available?

Send me your address.
What do you want them for?

Thanks Robin, emailed you.
I have 3 Lites, each with two 295w PVs and  two 120ah 12v batteries. These are with project teams of college students who are working on Arduino projects, one to make lcd displays (2line by16 as in KID), one for ethernet and simple web server and last for data logging to 8Gb micro SD card. Two of them should be small enough to fit in MNGP dummy and the rubber button keyboard may be useful to set startup parameters such as rtc, ip etc.. via microswitch kb for arduino

I will look for your e-mail and send you a care package of goodies. Mario will have his data stream done soon. Perhaps one of the students will be able to get the Kid connected up to the internet?
