Minimus 32 USB AVR

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!

One question - how do you program them on Linux? The webpage mentions
FLIP, which seems to be a Java app, plus some JNI code, and it does seem
to be available for Linux. I actually want it on Solaris (I’m strange
that way) but I can probably hack it to work for me if the Linux one works.

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

Can we commit to a total amount of money rather than a quantity? I see
at 100+ units they are �4.00 versus �9 in single units, so if I pledge
�40 I’d get 10 if the order goes over 100 and correspondingly fewer if
it doesn’t.

Also, I see they have some nice cases for them:

Would anyone else want a couple of those as well?

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.

I’m interested if you are, but I don’t exactly have much purchasing power

I can pay for some, but I doubt that £20 or so will make much of a
difference to bulk pricing
But thanks for the offer :smiley:

A nice little porting project for me, thanks :slight_smile:

OK, I’ll go for 10 then.

I’m not a London-hackspace member, is it still OK to register?

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.

Kimball

Hey Kimball,

Would you be happy to tack on an order for Brighton Hackspace too? At £3ea I would like 10x of them for myself, but i’m sure we’d be able to add 50+ as a group…

Cheers,

If possible I’d like to collect the money from as many HacMan members
as possible tomorrow night.

There will probably be a delivery charge, but I didn’t think about it
when I made the original email, so I’ll cover it.

Thanks,

Kimball

Hi Mike,

When everyone is ready can you collect the money locally and send it
to me in one payment please?

Will do - Thanks!
