Last chance to get a DistoX 1 board for Disto A3

Kevin Dixon writes to say that he is going to produce some DistoX1 boards for the A3, which will be the same as produced by Beat Heeb. See this paper for details about the DistoX 1.

Components have been found to make about 100 boards.

Final price will hopefully be GBP 160/board plus shipping but will depend on the cost of the obsolete parts, which have now been obtained. You will need to find your own Disto A3 to upgrade.

Boards are expected to be finished and ready for shipment around March/April.

This is the final batch of boards to be produced for the Leica Disto A3.

Beat is however working on a replacement: the DistoX2 which will be fit for the Leica DXT. (See this post)

Currently the new DistoX2 unit is being field tested, but it will take a while before it can go into production as they are still trying to figure out all the different models (apparently Leica changed the design a few times) and to improve the calibration and robustness of the overall unit.
