MOTM

Hi Tony,
 I have some questions...

1. Will the UEG still be offered as a kit and if so, when will this be
available?

2. What is the kit's expected price point?

3. After the initial batch of UEG's, how long before they're available
again?

 Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

No it will not be offered as a kit.

#3 is difficult to answer. Atmel is one of my long lead suppliers and I need
to get a grip on the sell through rate to determine when and how many to
build on the second run. The problem with that is that it takes me 3 months
to get some of the parts, so I would have to order now to have non-stop
production. The problem with ordering now is that it ties up thousands of
dollar.

Paul knows exactly what this is like, and it's a pain in the ass to deal
with.

On the plus side, I use this difficult part in several designs, so I can
usually steal them from somewhere, but that causes headaches in another
area.

Tony
