For our forum members, I don't want you to be without this board. Although we built 500 they were gone in a flash, and the next 800 and 1000 units are in the queue.

If you're on the fence, just grab one of these four units now because they'll be gone in a few minutes after I post this message.

    When will they show up at Microcenter?

    Paying tax is cheaper than shipping on this item! Microcenter is just down the road for me.

    I think PropellerPowered is in line to get some. Jeff's $4 shipping is hard to beat unless your state doesn't charge sales tax! I'm sure Jeff will make an announcement when he has some in stock.

    They REALLY are a nice little board!!

    MicroCenter got in on the Initial Propeller Activity Board offering, so they should have a few hundred in short order.

    This board and the associated program have generated a lot of excitement and the 500 units we built were gone before they were available for sale.

    And I'm pretty sure that Propeller Powered got a batch, too.

    Propellerpowered will have a few in stock by Friday. You'll be able to get your PropBOE/Activity Board I/O Shield and Activity Board in a single package.

    I guess I will have to wait for the next batch. Oh well, I have 3 QS's, 2 Prop BOE's and I mysteriously ended up with a Prop Demo board I did not know I had!!!! I will let others get there's and order mine the next go around. Besides, I think I already spent my monthly Parallax budget for other items last week!!!!

    I'll be waiting for a "run" or two. I've got a rather large pile of boards with props on them. The list includes a prop boe, 3 or so QS boards a GG board, the GG replacement board (Martin if memory serves but I wouldn't but on it serving) and a few others. I have my choice of boards to use when I want to do some puttering. :-)

    got my board today, it is even nicer in person with the usual high quality as expected.

    by the way, does anyone know what time of day the postal service picks up from parallax? got it into my head to calculate the average package velocity.

    Thanks for the compliment on the quality. USPS pickup at Parallax is about 3:00 pm, but our order close is around 2:00 pm (Pacific).

    Thank you.

    from the time it left your doors, the package traveled about 2700 miles in approximately 42 hours for an average speed of just over 64 mph

    Boe-Bot upgrade time!

    Update from Propellerpowered:

    We are currently taking back orders of this product which will ship on Thursday 5/16/13.

    The Propeller Activity Board combined with a Propellerpowered I/O shield is a winning combination.
