Cunning and small, yet elusive like Bigfoot. I can't seem to find one at a reasonable cost.

- casylum 10y agoOn the blog he they stated production of the Pi Zeros had to be delayed to build up the Raspberry Pi 3's. Now that the initial surge of Raspberry Pi 3's is done, they stated they will build "thousands a day" until demand is met.
- noonespecial 10y agoI'm not sure "thousands a day" will ever even clear the backlog of people waiting to get their first much less keep up with the latent demand of people who would buy a handful once they knew they could reliably get them for use in projects. You can claim 1000's (as in 2) and still not even make 3/4 million per year.
- m_mueller 10y agoIs the backlog really in the millions? That would be impressive.
- yetihehe 10y agoYeah, when they shipped first raspberrys the demand was in millions. Now because Zero is so small and cheap, everyone who needed pi for tinkering will order several zeros, including me. The only thing which prevented me from getting one was lack of camera connector.
- kingosticks 10y agoProduction has now increased following the release of rpi3. I got an email just today announcing stock at one of the suppliers.
- FilterSweep 10y agoAdafruit has already sold out again on RPiZero v1.3, as of the time of this comment.
- kingosticks 10y agoIn stock at the pihut as of the time of this comment.
- elcct 10y agoBut you can order only one.
- kingosticks 10y agoUntil they catch up with demand, yes.
- bigiain 10y agoI _like_ that Adafruit are selling the "bare Pi Zero" for $5, but the one per customer and ~$16 delivery means my project which wants a dozen of them is still not practical. If I could get 20 of them for $100+shipping I'd be all over that.
