Posted at 2015-06-28 by @gfwilliams The Order has just been updated again, Adafruit now sell Picos too! Forgot to add WIZnet.EU though - I'll do that in a bit! |

Posted at 2015-09-27 by @gfwilliams It all got delayed a bit because I ran out of stock of unpinned ones, and had to get a redesigned batch made by Seeed (new ones have a fuse on them, because a few people managed to short GND and VCC on the old ones out :). I still have a load of stock of pinned boards, but sadly Adafruit don't like stocking those for some reason. Adafruit actually got the new batch last week and I believe the update of stock has just been delayed because they want to take a new set of pictures. I'd be pretty sure they'll be marked as in stock early next week so it might be worth putting your name on the wait list. |

Posted at 2015-09-28 by @gfwilliams @lukevanhorn - yes, it's probably because the shipping gets cheaper. It's just a shame as a lot of users like plugging it into breadboard, and if you've never done any electronics before then soldering a bunch of pins on is often a step too far. Interesting about micro-center, I hadn't heard of them before. I'll drop them an e-mail and see what happens. |

Posted at 2015-09-28 by @gfwilliams It would be nice. I was trying to do that with Maplin in the UK, but haven't had much luck yet. |

Posted at 2015-09-29 by @gfwilliams Wow, thanks! If you wanted to order 10 then you could just get them through me. I do 10 boards for £14.67 (ex vat) each (if you wanted 100 it's just £12 ex vat) - you wouldn't have to pay VAT as you're in the US, but you might get stung for import duty? New boards with fuses are actually in the post to me right now so should arrive in the next few days (but then Adafruit should update their stock status very soon as well) |

Posted at 2015-09-29 by @gfwilliams Just to add - that first board that got shorted out - you should still be able to use it just fine if you either replace the diode (black component nearest the USB connector), or actually just short it out (in which case you shouldn't plug s battery into the Pico at the same time - but that's the only thing you need to worry about). ... or you can still use the Pico without modifying it at all if you use a battery of separate power supply with it |

Posted at 2015-09-29 by @gfwilliams @errantspark some adaptor PCBs are on the way here at the moment as well and should arrive in the next week. They adapt the Picos to a bunch of stuff - including SD cards (you'd have to solder the connector on yourself though). If you order some Picos from me I'll chuck one in. |

Posted at 2015-10-05 by @gfwilliams Thanks, that'd be great! It might help having a potential customer coming to them and asking them - I haven't yet got a reply to my message via their website. |

Posted at 2015-11-10 by @gfwilliams Yes, they all should have the flash memory between 384 and 512. I just checked with one of the boards from the batch that Adafruit have. |

I got some brand new shiny Picos last week and sent them off to distributors, who now have them online:
Adafruit should follow soon too, and I'll update this post when they do.
I've also stuck the boards on Tindie:
Prices are in dollars because that's what Tindie wants, but I'm actually posting those out from the UK. If you want your boards quickly I'd go with a proper distributor though - I only pack boards up and send them off twice a week.
