though I am not sure why She returned my Money instead of Shipping the 3 sets I ordered originally if She finally had them coming in ? maybe that was AliExpress though and She had no choice?
she probably thought she would get the items, then she think she could't, then her supplier ensured the supply.
It's a reasonable explanation for me.
I give her another try.
Considering that aliexpress guarantees the refund, you have nothing to lose.
I think I will try again .....Hopefully Her Technician doesn't have another Bad Date
I guess you were right about China coming to a standstill at Chinese New Year and the whole country just stopping work , and now they are catching up again.
I am curious about the 74HC165 Boards too since I made my own last time ( not so pretty ) from Prototype Board though I may stay more "original" this time and not add all the extra Buttons.
