Hi All,

A while ago, Chris McClelland placed an order for some Minimus USB dev
boards.  Now Bob from Hac:Man and I were talking that it might be time
to make another order.

I contacted Modtraders and they have low stock of the 16k Flash
version, but recomended the 32k version:
http://www.modtraders.co.uk/minimus-32-avr-usb-development-board.html

Do people want to make an order, if we get enough then it will be
£4.00 each or less.

I have crossposted, this - LHS members please fill in:
http://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Minimus, Preston members
please email me off list and Hac:Man members i'll post the wiki link
when I have access to edit the wiki.

I will collate the orders and then get then confirm the price before
ordering.  If you put your name down twice you will have to pay for
them all!

Kimball

Yes, although i'd prefer if most people didn't, so it is easier to
give numbers to the supplier for greater discounts.

Not personally - add to wiki page if you do want them though, and I
will ask about prices.

No, we have never ordered them before.  These are the 32k version, as
the 16k version is no longer made.

Kimball,

Make sure you know what you are buying in terms of SRAM

The website says that they are based on the ATmega32U2 - this only has 1K
of SRAM - which you may find a limitation.

Ideally you should use the ATmega32U4 (like the Arduino Leonardo, the
Hackspace Tilda badge) which have 2K of SRAM.

The ones we had before are based on the AT90USB162 which only has
512Bytes of SRAM, so double what we have before.

Would be lovely, but we would need to design and manufacture boards,
which I don't think we could do for £4 a pop.

Sorry to send this back to the list, but mail direct to Kimball bounced.

Northackton would like to tag along on this order. I've created a wiki page
to collate at http://northackton.stdin.co.uk/wiki/Minimu<http://northackton.stdin.co.uk/wiki/Minimus>s.
What's the deadline?

Cheers,

Mat

I have now been confirmed a price of £3 each for an order over 100
pieces (we currently have 108)

I will keep the order open until Thursday, making the order on Friday Morning.

Those of you that ordered these, they are in the quiet room on the
left hand side as you enter on top of a silver box.  There is also a
box for Reading hackspace, please don't touch them.

They are all packaged in pairs, so if you ordered an odd number you
need to split a pack.

Please take them away soon, and those of you that have not payed me,
please so so asap.

Thanks,

Kimball

There are 9 left now (I think there were 13 a few days ago).

Please pick yours up soon if you've not done so!

Thanks for the heads up. I missed the post about these arriving.

I ordered twelve of them (ahem) so I guess I'll grab the remainder on
Tuesday or Wednesday.

I've finally dropped in to pick these up. As previously stated there were
only nine remaining in the box.

Sorry for taking so long and thanks for ordering these!

Does anyone have a surplus minimus I could buy? I've just thought of a
project which could use one, and I thought I'd ask to see if I can
avoid the full price and postage.
