I’ve been waiting patiently for Element14 to start selling the new Raspberry Pi Model A+

A couple of days ago, they posted an ad saying that it it is available in limited quantities – see image below:

I’ve been waiting as patiently as I could, as I really want to test it as I think it will be a great board for many of my projects, so this morning I contacted their customer service using their on-line chat.

Here is the start of my chat:

Ray: Hi, how can I help?

you: Introducing the Model A+ The least expensive, most compact single board computer.Limited quantities available!

you: when will I be able to order it?

you: an inactive link has been up for about three days now

you: https://canada.newark.com/raspberry-pi-accessories?rd=raspberry+pi&catalogId=15003&langId=1&storeId=10196

you: you can see it at the link above

Ray: we are not going to stock the model A+

you: Really? then why are you listing it as being available?

Ray: it is coming for our UK sister company

Ray: part 93X7446

I admit I complained to Ray about the situation, and asked for the email address to use for customer compaints (which is customerservice@newark.com)

I searched for the Model A+ by the part number Ray provided, and did find a listing page at

https://canada.newark.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-moda-256m/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-a-256mb/dp/93X7446?ost=93X7446

This page shows “Awaiting Deliver”, and stock & lead times shows

“Per the manufacturer, more stock expected week of 02/03/15”

Now this suggests a few possibilities:

1) the Raspberry Pi Foundation BADLY underestimated the demand for a $20 Model A+

2) Element14 in Canada is confused – web site says they will stock it, customer service representative says they will not stock it.

(This may mean that they will only make it available as a “direct ship” product from the UK – likely increasing costs for customers)

I’ll order a few from the UK or the states (assuming I can find some in stock somewhere) – but that means that I’ll end up paying FAR more than $20 each.

I strongly suspect the Model A+ will outsell the proverbial hotcakes…

Now I am off to search the web for a few to play with.

p.s.

I appreciated how Ray was trying to be helpful, and I know he is in a tough spot. Apparently I was not the only upset customer. Element14 should carry the A+ in Canada, after all they are “THE” official distributor.

I suspect they will be getting a LOT of complaints…

Update#1:

MCMElectronics now expects A+’s on Dec.13 … they keep pushing back the availability date.

For “normal” computer use, you can’t beat large LCD monitors – and the Raspberry Pi comes with both an HDMI interface, and an LCD display connector, for which the Raspberry Pi foundation will be releasing LCD displays.

But what if you don’t need a large, colourful LCD display?

The Raspberry Pi Camera has been around for a long time, unfortunately I have not previously had time to use mine.

I thought others may find the list list the resources I found to be the most useful so far for using the Pi Camera – so I started a blog page for Raspberry Pi Camera Adventures!

PiBoe was way too tall due to how I mounted the Raspberry Pi on the Boe-Bot chassis.

I decided to replace two decks, and the spacers between them, with a single sintra deck, with the Raspberry Pi mounted closely on top of the sintra. This allowed shaving over an inch of height from PiBoe!
