Do they have a reputation for poor quality? I bought a RedBoard Arduino clone from them last year and it was DOA, as was the replacement (different batches).
- HeyLaughingBoy 8y agoNo, the Dings & Dents is specifically stuff that didn't pass their QA, but they sell really cheap. I haven't bought a ton from SF, but everything I have worked right out of the box.
- andyjohnson0 8y agoAh ok. I'd bought sensors and breakout boards etc from them and never had problems. Good to know.
- russh 8y agoI very rarely have an issue with a sparkfun product. The "Dents and Dings" boards are boards that failed QA that they sell cheap as-is without warranty. After examining a couple hundred "Dents and Dings" boards I'd say they are very strict when it comes to QA.
