Microchip PicKit 3 recipients

DEAR ALISTAIR WINNING,

IT IS BETTER TO DISTRIBUTE THE PICKIT3 KITS FOR EVALUATION MAYBE A WEEK LATER, RATHER THAN DELAY IT FURTHER. MAYBE THE REST ARE UNAVAILABLE TO RESPOND TO YOUR MESAGES.

BEST REGARDS,

THOMAS KUNJUMMEN

Hi Thomas,

Sorry, the matter was completely outwith my control. I was told that there would be kits available for the RoadTest ending, but by that time they had completely sold out and we had to wait for two different kits to come back into stock and get bundled. The fact it happened over Christmas and at a time when there is a delay getting deliveries just didn't help

I do try to have the kits on my desk before I start the test, on the Microchip occasion it just wasn't possible.

Alistar,

does that mean that the Microchip PicKit 3 are still coming?

If so, do you have some kind of an ETA?

Regards,

Christopher Singleton

Christopher,

Alistair can correct me if I'm wrong, but yes the kits are still coming.  Check the "Road Test Update" posting for the date.

Regards,

Gordon Margulieux

Hi,

Yeah, the kits are still coming. Apologies again, there is quite a long lead time for us on the kits. The Microchip and Freescale kits are in the US at the moment. I received a message last night that the US winners have been mailed, but because of some custom problems (you guys don't want a customs bill on receipt?) the European winners will have to be mailed to me first. I should have them early next week and I'll mail them straight out

Hello Allister,

I wonder if you have a drop dead date on the delivery of the North American kits. I have yet to see it and I am curious as to which shipping method was used. I am afraid that UPS delivered it and it is sitting under a large pile of snow on my front porch. Is there a way that we could confirm delivery of the packages?

Thanks,

Isaac

Hi Alistair,

I had some projects running the last time, so I was not able to be active here...

Are there still some PICKit 3 - Kits available for testing?

Kind Regards

Chris

Alistair,

Still no sight of the Microchip PicKit's . . . any update on delivery for Canadain participants?

Hi Christopher,

I'm looking into both the Microchip and the Freescale dev kits at the moment. I'll get back to you and the group on both by the end of the week

Hello,

I'm in the US and never received the Microchip kit ....

Any status on this matter?

Thanks,

Gregory

Hi Guys,

I'm extremely sorry about the delays. We have had some trouble securing the stock. The good news is that the PicKits are kits are here now and will be delivered as soon as possible. This could be up to three weeks because of customs if you are out side the US. We will put a small gift i with the parcel as an apology for the extreme delay on this test.

Other updates. I now have the Freescale Accelerometers for our Euro guys and they will be mailed today

The TI kits will also be mailed today. I'll post the winners after the test has finished.

Once again sorry to anyone who had to wait. We are working on a more robust process to ensure that this doesn't happen again.

Hi Allistair,

are the recipients now finished, or is it still possible to get one?

Kind Regards

Chris

Hi Christoph,

The winners have already been chosen for Microchip and Freescale.

Hi Alistair,

Thank you for the info.

May be the next time...

DEAR ALISTAIR,

I AM A LATE ENTRANT INTO THIS. IS IT POSSIBLE TO REGISTER FOR THE PICKIT3 EVENT NOW. IN CASE IF YOU MAY SPARE ONE FOR ME.

THANKS,

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the info regarding the Freescale kits.

I was just about to ask for the status as I have not heard from it yet

HI ALISTAIR,

THANKS FOR BEING CONSIDERATE. GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

THANKS AGAIN,
