History
2021-08-14: I re-created this page on my self-hosted web server.
2020-11-18: I found two nice OLED displays, 13 inch, color, ST7789, spi, in the mailbox this afternoon. I've ordered them from eBay a while ago (25 days ago).
2020-11-12: finished building an USB extension board (US3 and US4) for the ULX3S.
2020-11-06: USB pmod / extension - I gathered parts, but am missing 3.6V zener diodes, so I ordered some from AliExpress. We shall see how long it takes here.
2020-10-21: got the VAT bill from UPS: for the small board (12F): utleggsprovisjon (fee) NOK 165 + MVA (value added tax) NOK 277.- = NOK 442.- For the large board (85F): utleggsprovisjon (fee) NOK 165 + MVA (value added tax) NOK 334.- = NOK 499.-. In total NOK 941.-
2020-10-08: got a text message from UPS, another package delivered. Went to my local UPS Access Point and picked it up. Contents: CS-ULX3S-07 "Connectors Set" which is 2 x 40-pin angled female(for PMOD) + 1 x 7-pin straight female (for an on-board display). Ok, it was two packages. I got fooled by the "two text messages sent at the same time", so I went back and got the other package, it had another CS-ULX3S-07 "Connectors Set", so now I'm all set as connectors go.
2020-10-06: Debian - detect

ok
2020-10-05: contents - the ULX3S with ECP5 12F (Early Bird!) package contains the board in an anti-static bag and an yellow Radiona sticker. The ULX3S with ECP5 85F package contains the board in an anti-static bag and a blue Radiona sticker. No headers for the PMOD sockets (learned later that they will be shipped separately).
2020-10-05: I picked up my packages from my local UPS access point (Maxima).
2020-10-02: Crowd Supply sent a "your order has shipped!" and tracking number for both my orders. UPS is used for shipping.
2020-04-14: I ordered 1 x ULX3S with ECP5 85F for USD 155.- plus shipping USD 12.- a total of USD 167.- from Crowd Supply
2020-03-16: I ordered 1 x ULX3S with ECP5 12F (Early Bird!) for USD 99.- plus shipping USD 12.- a total of USD 111.- from Crowd Supply
