All,
We have reached the magic number, so the order is a go. I'll shoot for placing the order next Monday, June 3rd. The cost per encoder will be $48.60 each, with a small fee to cover re-boxing and shipping. Price does not include wiring or connectors. I'll PM the poster who made the order commitment with my address so checks can be sent. I'll keep everyone posted on the status of the receipt of the bulk order and the status of team orders. Team orders will be sent out upon receipt of checks.

Here is the updated list of order commitments:
2363: 8
696: 4
192: 8
4063: 4
1836: 8
1912: 8
2175: 4
237: 6
2590: 5

total: 55

Feel free to increase your quantity, or get in on this group-buy until the order is placed.

Then, I expect we'll have a nice CD thread about how to mount, wire and program using the encoders. I received a PM from team 1323 recommending McMaster Carr P/N 71335K52 wire.
