mbed Application Board availability

20 Mar 2013

Hi -

Does anyone have updated info about the mbed application board? I've checked at the two US distributors: Sparkfun has them as backordered with no ETA for availability, and RS Components US division (Allied Electronics) can't find them at all whether via the link on the mbed cookbook page or by manual search.

Have they been discontinued?

Thanks!

Regards,

Hi Jeff,

Certainly not discontinued, just sold out a lot quicker than expected!

I'll get Chris to give you an update on when the next batch is expected to land at distributors...

Edit: looks like there are some here: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/processor-microcontroller-development-kits/7694182/

Hi, Simon -

Thanks for the quick response. I'm in the US, and RS's USA distributor (Allied) doesn't list them. I'll probably just wait for US availability to save on shipping costs.

Cheers,

They reappeared in stock at SparkFun in the past few days - if they received their full quota they have already sold more than half!
