![]() Price per board tends to go down when you order a lot I ordered just a few, but if there are any demand I might as well order 50 boards. ![]() I've found quite a few breakout boards at Ebay, but they are all so large! I've tried to make the footprint as small as possible without breaking the 0.1" pin spacing (and still make it square). but in any case i have some patience and a knack for thinking ahead. however i do recall waiting several months for a t45 shipment from digi and conversely have received packages from china in as little as 3 days. admittedly the lead time thing can be a plus for domestic. I guess patriotism is a virtuous trait (not really and definitely not for me). even those who used to hit the ceiling are now recommending ebay or alli links. now looks like at least 90% or so of the members caught on and openly admit to purchases from The Evil Empire. I do recall couple years ago on this very forum and much earlier on avrfreaks just mentioning china would bring about tirades of "junk", "crooks", and "why dont you go live there with your pinko pals?". i must admit also having to do the digi/mouser (aka suckertown) thing occasionally for liability reasons. i can understand where these might not be important and for some "traceabilty" more so. usually m32 is drop in replacement for m1284 and better deal at 80 cents (10:1 cost difference).Īs mentioned countless times for me ease of purchase, availability, and bang for buck are paramount. ![]() just as strange m1284 is holding its own at around 10 bucks regardless of source. oddly current price for one relatively feature poor m328 is higher than that for m32 or m128. of course i am talking about global (aka real world) pricing. Taking into account the same features listed there is no competition between m32/m128 and any of the other arduino chips. i considered joking about bob having stock in digikey but figured the one about going out of business w/o forum was enough for this week. virtually impossible to make anything close myself considering features and cost. I have purchased hundreds of both types over the years for business and hobby. Heres another breakout for up to qfp64 that is even cheaper & smaller:
