Fmilburn 446 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 This came today - I wanted it more than I needed it but I'm figuring it out and having fun. bluehash and abecedarian 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 630 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 My free shipping bounty came in today. All analog components need to be delivered in an anti-static bag, TI certainly takes that seriously. But unfortunately something went wrong here :-( spirilis and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 uh-oh. Hopefully, their bins are not mis-labelled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 630 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 @@bluehash that was my worry as well. Luckily I just received the correct replacement. However this one came directly from Fort Worth, TX. The original shipment was processed by Digi-Key, judging from the the labels and sent from Thief River Falls. So there's still the possibility of a mislabeled bin somewhere in a warehouse in rural Minnesota. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vinicius.jlantunes 50 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Got my free shipping bounty today as well. I feel guilty ordering samples on their own, so I thought when buying these things - "well, will add a few other goodies as it won't cost them much more to add to the same package". Funnily though, I received a total of 4 separate packages for all the stuff - one with the booster pack, one with the MSP432, one with only 2 other IC's I paid for, and one with all the samples... I know it's peanuts for TI, but they must have made a loss on my ~45 bucks order! You gotta love TI! chicken and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greeeg 460 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 ... Funnily though, I received a total of 4 separate packages for all the stuff ... It's weird that they do that, given that I believe it all comes from digikey's warehouse. I just got a new (to me) air filter (a purex fumecube 2). and I bought a Hakko Fume extractor nozzle to pair with it. Hakko obviously wasn't designed for the Purex and didn't fit....so I had an excuse to 3d print an adapter + cap. Already love it, it's great being able to look right over your work and not have to worry about flux smoke. The Hakko arm moves around easily but stays pretty rigid as you can see. I'm sure future me will be grateful in avoiding smoke damage to my lungs. zeke 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The individual parts ship from Digikey but all their dev boards ship out of TI Dallas. At least, that's what today's FedEx tracking history tells me. @@greeeg That fume extractor is pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdoNork 10 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'm in EU. I received my 432 dev boards from Holland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
