This programmer saves me a lot of trouble!
For Portable Micro AVR Programmer
I'd been looking into making a standalone programmer for a long time but never had the time to do it. This little puppy (which I just finished as a kit) programmed my Attiny44 without a hassle. I might just 3d print a cover for this and load it with all of the code I need and ditch the laptop at the shop.
The kit was easy to build and the schematic was a nice touch. I do have to add that you need some skill when soldering surface mount parts, not that many but an important one to keep an eye on.
Just to have this programmer around saves me so much trouble to get the products tested without having a long cable or moving the laptop just to get the job done.
If you buy the kit, always remember to read the instructions, more importantly if you buy the kit without an SD card. The instructions describe each step of your file programming and how to use every function, so read it properly.
Shipping was faster than anticipated so I call that a bonus!

Don't know what I purchased
For Si5351 - 3 CHANNEL SIGNAL GENERATOR with SWEEP
In my dismay I didn't write down the exact numbers but I get square waves until I get the frequency high enough then I see a sine wave. Documentation doesn't say much at all.
Response from JasonKits | Sept. 17, 2021
The si5351 is a programmable oscillator which produces a square wave on all three channels. If a sine wave output is required one can use an L/C/R filter to smooth the output and cut down any harmonic. With a Suitable L/C filter the output is very stable .

Good product, works fine.
For 3DPRINTER Filament Width Sensor Kit V4
Works great.
The Kit is easy to assemble, aside from the tiny SMD capacitors. Those are tricky to solder and make it more complicated, but its doable with a little soldering experience and a set of fine tweezers.
Values for R3 and R4 in the schematic are switched. The Documentation for Version 4 shows the correct steps: R1, R2, R3 are 1k and R4 is 10k.
Reported filament width is ok and the calibration button works.
If you have issues with wrong filament width and/or calibration does not work correctly, try to use an external, stable power supply. I power the sensor via my raspberry pi and it works fine. If I power it via my SKR 2, the reported width is too small. Printer mainboards often do not put out stable 5V or do not provide enough current for the board.
If you print the case at home, print it with black filament. If the holes for the Filament are too small, take a 2 mm drill bit or small screwdriver, heat it up with a lighter and push it through the hole.
Shipping took very long, but I guess due to Corona everything gets delayed. Excellent communication with the seller.

A must have programmer
For Portable Micro AVR Programmer
Was looking for this for quite some time,and was very happy when found it here.
Got the fully assembler device.
It doesnt disappoint my expectations in any way.
I own different, non Portable, programmers, but the portability makes this a dream.
Not only does it flash AVRs, but it basically is a complete Portable device, that brings all features for working with AVRs. A Portable avr programmer, with all the functionality of avrdude in a simple, easy to use device. No other software or laptop needed for field work.
Great purchase, love it.

Not accurate, can't be used...
For 3DPrinter Filament Diameter Width Sensor Assembled
Impossible to use it, the same filament can be measured from 1.60 to 1.84 !!
Contacted the seller, he told me to add 1K resistance to have a measurement between 1.71 and 1.79, but it solve nothing.
Doing more tests with an oscilloscope and explaining the problem to the seller, he told me it needs to change the processor !
This device is completely UNUSABLE, don't spend your money on it.

Not a real product yet
For SMD Reflow HOT Plate Controller
The PCB seems to have missing components, at least an amazing amount of blank component pads. No mounting holes in the PCB! The schematic in the manual seems to differ from the received PCB. As it is, this product causes more trouble instead of solving an issue. I'm dissapointed.
Response from JasonKits | Sept. 14, 2020
Hi
I am sorry that you feel disappointed. The board is supplied as a basic hot end controller. it has extra features which are not yet supported. Mainly
Accepts 2 mote sensors
reset switch
buzzer control
fan control
Thermocouple support -
If you wish these features just drop me an email and I will be happy to supply you with a board with such features after I implement them in software.

Works fine, but documentation sketchy
The finished product works nice and reliably.
It was difficult to get there though, documentation was incomplete and inaccurate. The PCB has many more places to solder parts than parts that were actually delivered, so I had to work out what goes where. Also part names and values were contradicory in different parts of the documentation, partly corrected by hand, partly not accurate. Bits of the features on the PCB were not explained, like old vs new solder bridge.

Please note that due to the covid-19 Pandemic, Postage shipments are taking much longer in Europe - estimate 15 to 35 working days and shipping to united states estimate 30 to 45 days.
I understand your frustration and hesitation to get your order. The order was shipped and a tracking number was sent to your email address.
if you need another copy of the email just msg me and ill send it!

Great value for the money!
For Reflow Oven Controller Universal Board Ver 2.01
Had some issues getting the temp sensor working, which I'm now guessing had to do with grounding issues in my oven itself. The kit itself is great, the user interface is simple and intuitive. The documentation of wiring could use an update and I couldn't find the source code anywhere.
But the kit works great if you just want to reflow some boards. I made a 3d printed stand and mounted the controller on the oven itself. You can find the mount here- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3797144

Buen producto
Hola,la placa esta muy bien hecha,espaciosa y muy limpio el diseño y la distribucion de los componentes.El funcionamiento es correcto,solo hay que hacer los mandos con dos potenciometros,lo demas es enchufar y funcionar.Funciona correctamente con tv TRC (de tubo y con pantallas lcd,tuve un problema con una TV de fabricación china pero es que estaba en Svideo,después de configurarla a normal funcionó perfectamente.Espero que Jason se anime y haga otra placa pero con el Space Invaders!!Muy buena compra.Gracias Jason

Hola Alonso
Gracias por tu comentario también debería ver la pantalla, asegúrese de poner su LCD en AV1 y conectar los RCA a la entrada de sonido y video Ypbr.
Estoy buscando ofrecer una actualización con dos juegos más ... Pacman y Space Invaders. aún así, tengo que hacer el trabajo pero mantente atento.
Hi Alonso
Thanks for your review. you should see the screen too make sure you put your LCD to AV1 and connect the RCA'S to the sound and video input Ypbr.
I am looking to offer an upgrade with two more games .. Pacman and Space Invaders. still, have to do the work but stay tuned.

Works good for a DIY Sensor
For 3D Printer Filament width Sensor PCB Kit
I ordered just the Kit because I do a lot of soldering for my projects. But mostly through hole components.
But like in the manual the soldering of the LCD chip is very easy. I didn't expect it to work, because it seemed like no solder was going under the chip. But it works.
Soldering the SMD capacitors I was a bit fooled by the pictures on the product page. First I soldered them in the through hole place.
Also it wasn't very clear how to orient the ATiny85 chip. This should be documented better in the instructions.
First I printed the case in red PLA. It worked by daylight was interfering with the reading. Also I printed the Remix version of the top to fit PTFE tubes and fittings. Now that I printed it in pure black the sensor seems less affected by daylight.
It took me also a while where to put the shutter from the print (didn't notice what that part would be). Here also would help a description in the manual.
The sensor is connected to a Bigtreetech SKR1.3 board. This can only handle 3.3V on analog Inputs. Since there is now Filament with more than 3.3mm diameter it would be cool if the output is limited to 3.3V. My board I protected with a 3.3v zener diode.
Thank you for this design.
I'm printing now for a while with crappy PLA (1,7-1,9mm diameter) and the prints turn out good so far. The live adjustment looks also very good.

Good sensor
For 3DPrinter Filament Diameter Width Sensor Assembled
It is a little difficult to connect to the GT2560 board. You must to do a weld and it is not so easy. You must also know the board pinout to select the proper pin and assign it in Marlin.
Then a better info from the seller would be very useful for the user.
The device runs perfectly and it is a good option to forgive the filament width issues.

Working as intended
For 3D Printer Filament width Sensor PCB Kit
I was initially apprehensive about soldering the tiny little sensor onto the board but it turned out to be really easy as the instructions were clear and helpful. Aside from some slight confusion with the SMD capacitors with the extra through holes, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise ( I am really bad at SMD ) it all went together. In total, 4 kits were purchased and assembled by myself and a friend and we had 100% success rate.
As to whether or not it is improving my print quality.... That isn't really the point.

Good concept, but QC issues.
For 3DPrinter Filament Diameter Width Sensor Assembled
I bought this a while back and just now getting around to trying it out. Instructions needs to be improved, especially when using with the supplied LCD board. The main gripe is the path for the filament, it is too small. I barely got a 1.5mm rod through the guide. When you pay a good price for this, the product should be tested before sent to the customer. Yes, they give you the stl file, so be prepared to modify and reprint the filament guide piece. Also when buying the kit with the LCD board, there should be a header that would connect the sensor to the LCD board (with a voltage regulator for the 5V sensor).

1 st board failed immediately.
For 3D Printer Filament Joiner/Fuser PID Controller
1st board failed immediately. Absolutely followed the included instructions exactly (very easy to hook up). The LCD lite up and started the count down, then a puff of smoke and it died .Contacted Jason on July 20th who said he would replace after testing his on hand stock for two days. It is now 8/16/2018. The replacement Jason claims he sent out has still not arrived. I will give a complete review after I receive and test the replacement

The DIY kit is great
For Universal NPN PNP inductive sensor interface board
I bought the diy kit, thinking my old npn sensor adapter board was bad...as the led on the npn inductor sensor was lighing up, I assumed the voltage was inputted to the old sensor board...as I didnot have a test point on that sensor board adapter for auto leveling. This kit I purchased allowed me to disconnect/reconnect wires in order to verify that indeed I was not getting the proper singaling voltage from the inductive sensr...the led light did turn on. his DIY kit is better engineered than my old one. thanks very much; glad I bought two of the kits.

Sensor filament sensor
For 3DPrinter Filament Diameter Width Sensor Assembled
Crappy 3d printed part.
Some adjustement to do.
The soldering is crappy too. A lot of burning brown mark on it. It's not affect the fonctionnality but looks bad.
And there is not the origin of the project on the paper. It will be usefull for fiemware modification and code understanding.
Okey product but need to have a some adjustement on the final touch and assembly to be a realy nice product.
Thanks for it!

Hi
Part is printed complimentary so don't complain.
Soldering is done from experienced 20 years in the field technicians . the brown stuff is the flux which is left after soldering - you can alcohol wash it !
Product works fine as described in the listing and this product is an improved version. completely re written code to get more accurate readings.
thanks for your comments - i am committed to improve it in the coming months ..

Hitting the easy button...
For Universal NPN PNP inductive sensor interface board
Upon ordering Jason immediately emailed me about my needs and gauged my experience level with electronics. He then promised he'd setup the board according to these specifications and would send along a copy of detailed instructions to go with the board.
Did Jason deliver? Undeniably, yes. The part was shipped quickly and literally was 'plug and play'. The written instructions were clear and were easily followed.
