It would be even more successful if it was possible to actually buy the boards.
I got one early on, and I would have more, but every time I've looked since they've been out of stock. A big part of the RPi success story is that they figured out early on that supply chain would be a problem and got the right partners involved to deal with that.
- ChuckMcM 12y agoSo are you outside the US? I have bought all of mine from Digikey, they currently have 787 in stock (http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/BB-BBLK-000/BB-BBLK-000-REVC-ND/4842211 http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/BB-BBLK-000/BB-BBLK...) so presumably if I ordered today I'd have it in 3 days (priority mail)(Mouser has over 1200, Element 14/Farnell has eight thousand) [1] http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CircuitCo/BB-BBLK-000/?qs=%2fha2pyFadugh6wNMONnDuAbTwbrIHVw4R%2f%252bth5Q2M%2fX2Gs60muroNw%3d%3d http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CircuitCo/BB-BBLK-000/?q...

- HeyLaughingBoy 12y agoAvailability is much improved over just 6 months ago. My beef is now that I've actually got one in hand, it's like pulling teeth to find documentation on addressing/using the GPIO ports. I can easily use them with the Node libraries, but where's the docs on setup/use of GPIO with the C runtime if I don't want to use Node?
