Hello!

Why was the Arduino MKR1000 retired? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/14394

Indicates that it was retired, and obviously there’s no replacement device for it. But, ah, the device according to Arduino itself is not retired. Now according to an earlier discussion the Redstick was retired because of a specific part being no longer available. The MKR1000 is unique it has WiFi on it, and a smattering of other features.

Maybe nobody was buying it?

Hello!

Did you also click on the device itself inside the pages for them? The device shows up as active inside the store. Therefore I question the notation on their documents site. It’s when I see that on the Store, and imply that they will be selling them until they run out that is when I believe it would be applicable. I do know that Micro Center stopped carrying them very quickly.
