GeekDoc 226 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It should, but I'm waiting for everyone to get their kits, before I move it there. Will move it in a day or two. Good thinking. I get mine Friday, according to the tracking. Might be a week or so until most have received them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HylianSavior 37 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Not sure, but it looks like shipping may be free if you make a MyArrow account. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xpg 127 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Anyone from the UK ordered one? When I went to place an order it didn't mention a price for shipping and stated I would be contacted by an international sales rep.So I am curious as to what sort of stuff the sales rep asks and what they end up charging for shipping. I'm from DK, and got the same message. So I'm curious how it went: Did they get back to you? Cheers, Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think I found a nice home automation project that I could use these units with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenemon 29 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 very well done production. he was using python and arduino and he mentioned a web socket and telnet connection. Very smooth operation but i couldnt find his code :cry: I saw a couple dudes at Cornell that used the msp and ezrf2500. http://jeremyblum.com/2011/05/14/msp430-wireless-weather-station/ it looks like TI has some good software which works. They programmed their GUI in "Processing", http://processing.org/ and are sharing all of it. I am still pondering schematics here..... zeke 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 According to his webpage, all the code is right here. The processing sketch is pretty cool. I bet we could come up with some interesting things with it. Thanks Jeremy and Matt! :thumbup: bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oPossum 1,083 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Got mine today. The deal is real. Anyone have a source for cheap antenna? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 You could probably make a circuit board antenna. It looks like a pcb will have to be made to mount that unit anyhow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That is so not the dev kit the product pdf describes. That's just the zigbee itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That is so not the dev kit the product pdf describes. That's just the zigbee itself. Exactly what I thought. I got mine today as well. Same deal: just the part, no dev board. I'm going to do a little research and then call Arrow. :? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oPossum 1,083 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Arrow website shows part # 450-0012 I posted the datasheet for that specific part in the second post of this thread so it would be clear exactly what it was. The dev kit is part # 450-0023 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Arrow website shows part # 450-0012I posted the datasheet for that specific part in the second post of this thread so it would be clear exactly what it was. The dev kit is part # 450-0023 The web page clearly states "Development Kit", and the datasheet linked on that page shows both the module and the dev kit. I've got a call in to them. We'll see where it goes. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. To be honest, this is all up-side except for the shipping I paid, which wasn't much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oPossum 1,083 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've got a call in to them. We'll see where it goes. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. They may decide to charge the correct price for those that where undercharged. The part # on the website is correct. They are not going to give you dev kits because you didn't know what you where ordering and totally failed to put any effort in to researching it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zborgerd 62 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Guys. If you didn't look around, the actual dev. boards are like $299. The PDF document details all of the parts. At this price, these modules are a *steal*. I ordered some and will probably order more if there are some left after everyone gets a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I just looked up the dev kit and it's $400 in Canada. :crazy: :!!!: :think: I still ordered 10 more modules! :thumbup: But I'll have to spin a pcb to make these work. The module is 42mm by 23mm so it's possible to make a batch at seeedstudios for cheap. :think: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
