I’ve ordered some parts from Maxim/Dallas as well as from Microchip this past weekend. The stuff from Maxim is supposed to be coming US Postal Service so I don’t really know when they will arrive. I forgot to add a temperature sensor (ambient) to the order though so I will need to come back to that later. I need to compare it with a similar chip offered by Microchip to see which one I want to use. I believe the chips by Microchip are actually smaller and more accurate but I will need to confirm later.
According to Microchip’s website / my invoice the IO board, graphics board and LCD touch screen, Prototype cards, and a 9V Power Supply will ship sometime in the next couple days. They are scheduled for arrival on the 17th. The Network Card and PIC32 Starter Kit is not due to be available for 2 weeks and is supposed to arrive on the 30th.
The stuff for the 17th apparently has now been picked up by FedEx in Tempe, AZ. They are projected for delivery on the 16th.
