I'm a bit bummed about how things have gone, and not as focused on getting all my boards made as I should be. I either need a holiday or some good news on chip shipments. I'm quite tired but will get back to it soon.
You and me both. I've got my reflow/hot air workstation all ready to go, the parts organized, and no eta on chips. That combined with all the negativity here about Avalon and a scary difficulty jump soon is making it hard to stay positive. But thank you for the work you've put in so far--the community owes you a debt of gratitude even if they don't seem very gratuitous at the moment. Anyway it's nice to hear marto's good news, let's hope for more in the coming days.
Looking for some tips on sourcing parts....
Power Inductor, Low DCR, 18A 38L361C Murata 0.360uH
UK suppliers would be preferred. Can anyone help out?
I can help you with this one, I have plenty extra of the Sumida alternative on hand. I'm in the US, though.
Thanks for the replies. I've managed to order stock from aamarket's suggestion (funny when I checked Farnell they were out of stock!).
I've got the rest on back order with 4 -8 week lead times, which I guess isn't too bad considering I don't have chips in hand yet (but from the news this morning it seems samples are arriving with the group buy organisers)
Cheers.
