Hi,

  Waiting, waiting, waiting ...

EDIT: I wonder if we will have to wait until the US is up and about ?

Hi

I found him there:

http://www.homotix.it/index.cfm?Page=Catalogo&IdCatProdotto=139&IdSchedaProdotto=2245

Now, I have a vision, many people all over the world scratching on there desk's even if there high on valium, and waiting for the Arduino Due, at the same time Massimo Banzi is stroking a nealy dead cat (from the endles stroke) and the tells his numbero Uno let them wait till afternoon, then a scary laugh is filling the room, and in some edge someone is playing an sad melody on his violine.

I hope nobody is killing me for this some sort of irony mixed up bad humor. I think Mr. Banzi and his team did a great work with the arduino and the boards it's really incredible how they put the word usability near to microcontroller, and now with the possibility to use an ARM for cool stuff on the horizon there will be the next level of fun. Thank you Mr. Banzi and of course his team.

Not sure how long it will take to get them in or how long you might be willing to wait, but Mouser Electronics has 25 waiting to come in and listing them at $38 US. Arduino Store has them @ $58 US, but I get errors when I place one in the cart. $20 off is worth the wait to go Mouser.

I looked at Sparkfun and Adafruit this morning and didn't see a thing. I figured the websites would have had them just after midnight and watched the sales rack up by this morning.

Its in the Arduino store
http://store.arduino.cc/ww/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=243

but you can't buy it, because it complains that one unit has beeen added and to change that to one!!

[Reply #81 on:]

But there is a technical information page now
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardDue

The main http://arduino.cc/ meanwhile still shows a UNO and has no mention of a new product.

Floris.cc (in Belgium) lists it in their shop, but is out of stock and won't let you order

The Arduino.cc shop seems to have fixed the error, it let me order one now. Postage from Italy to France is quoted as 5 days 

[Reply #84 on:]

you can download the new ide at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/SoftwareDue
I'm curious what the boards.txt looks like.
Looking at the download speed; I'm not the only one downloading
Best regards

I exspect allways bugs but I'am old school I make bugs by my self most of the time...  ...if I'am in buisness I will other let build bugs for me professionaly.

After a quick glance at the new IDE.
The IDE tools configuration looks amazingly similar to mpide with the platforms.txt files.
It looks like it will now be easy to set/modify compiler and linker flags.
It also appears that flags/defines can be set down to a per board basis using the extensions in
boards.txt similar to what is available in mpide.
This should make things like using floating point xxprintf() code or setting board specific defines much easier.
It also means that moving the maple and chipkit tools sets to this new IDE should be very easy.

One thing that looks like an improvement over mpide is that it appears that there is finally
an attempt at a separation and location for the arduino generic libraries. So now you don't have to keep cloning
library code between the different architectures if it is MCU independent.

BTW, I used the new IDE to upload a few sketches to an AVR based board, so the AVR support seems
to be at least somewhat working.

Wanting to put in an order, but 112 Euro to Australia, are you serious, almost twice the cost of the board for shipping, no wonder people buy clones...

I waited a year I suppose I can wait till clones come out, I was expecting a large fee for postage, not daylight robbery.

I don't think there's much the Arduino guys can do if they want to use a courier. I've seen this a lot with small companies who don't have the volume to cut a good deal. It can be a killer for a startup company. I've seen prices of $50 or even $75 for a single (small) bolt.

I think element14 are Arduino resellers so they should have some soon I would guess and they used to have free shipping in Aus although I'm not sure if that's still the case.
