I ordered a “SparkFun IR Array Breakout - 110 Degree FOV, MLX90640 (Qwiic)” about 2 months ago. I understand that the website says that Sparkfun “does not currently have an estimate of when this product will be back in stock”, however, the website says that backorders usually take about two weeks.
I have been waiting patiently and would like to know news as to why they are taking so long.
Many thanks for any information!
Due to the current public health crisis there are longer than usual lead times for our catalog of products. You can view more information of our efforts during this time here: https://sparkfun.com/covid19.
From what I’m aware of, in May, the manufacturer for the IC on the module were expecting to have lead times as long as 48 weeks in some cases. We are working as diligently as we can to get this back into stock. Thank you for your time and patience.
