Gertboard availability?

Former Member

I have just had this reply from Farnell:

 

" Thank you for your enquiry.  Unfortunately we are not taking any new orders for the Gertboard at present as this one is going discontinued. We have a new Gertboard that will be launched shortly updates on this will be available through the  element14 website."

 

AFAIK it's only just been released so are Farnell right, or are they behind the times ?

  • Hi David,

     

    We have updated our Gerboard FAQ recently. Unfortunately, Gertboard is no longer available, please see full message on: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-48974/l/gertboard-faq

     

     

    Thanks,

    Farnell element14 Raspberry Pi Customer Support

    Sorry guys, you still aren't saying what's happening....

     

    'Due to overwhleming popularity" == means lots of people want it.

    "we have sold out and will no longer be accepting orders for the Gertboard Kit" == means you won;t be supplying it any more....

     

    This doesn't add up.

     

    "However, we will have new and exclusive products coming very soon."  Straight question - will you be supplying pre-assembled boards?

     

    We all know that you guys are manufacturing the RPi in South Wales (with Sony) , I presume that access to that manufacturing capability means that you can now make these boards up just as cheap as you can pick and pack the numersours components.

     

    So, I will ask again - will the Gertboard be made available either in kit form or pre-assmbled, thorugh farnell?

     

    Thanks.
