[NTLK] Followup on EM300 and SER-001 boards: What a disappointment!

[Florian Voigt]

Hi Frank,

sorry to hear that. I really hope that‘s just a temporary setback. Maybe I can help a little by chipping in some money. If you provide some details, I‘ll send 20€ your way. I know, it‘s not much but maybe it helps a little to fund your research.

All the best,

Florian
