I need assistance in locating two specific KIT items.
According to a Sparkfun Representative named Wednesday, Kit-14644 is no longer an ‘active’ item and has been upgraded to a new Kit number. I need the following two kits and I want to order them from the same location.
Kit-14644 (RaspberryPi)
Kit-14556 (Arduino)
Is there an easily accessed listing (with phone numbers) of SparkFun distributors that might have these two kits in stock…?
Just to emphasize the need for assistance, I did try to contact a distributor in Durango, Colorado. The attempt was basically a wasted hour of time. The map gave no phone number and I had to Google search to learn that the store was located in a mall. I could only locate a mall phone number and their automated ‘Store Search’ was a pitiful excuse for a contact method. No operators or direct phone contact could be made with the mall office.
I simply need to order these exact kit numbers and do not want to be referred to locations that do not stock the original kits.
Unfortunately we don’t track what our distributors carry. The easiest way to find out if a given distributor has what you’re looking for is to check their website or give them a call/email if the website doesn’t say if a part is in stock.
[KIT-14644 and [KIT-15361 are essentially the exact same thing, we just switched manufacturers on one of the parts. Everything will function the same with both kits.
The Tinker Kit and the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Starter Kit (KIT-15361) are both in stock here at SparkFun.
Like Mike said earlier, Mouser does have both KIT-14644 and KIT-14556 so if you absolutely need the older version, you can get both there.
