New website layout doesn't have datasheets anymore??

Hello everyone,

I haven't been on parallax's new website for awhile. I noticed it's harder to find things now (I think, anyway). I also noticed not all product pages have datasheets linked to them anymore. Has Parallax moved the datasheets somewhere new?

Thanks!

    If you go to Downloads, and type "Nut and Volts" into Download Title, it will bring up the zipped volumes.

    Do you have a certain product that you are looking for?

    In the mean time, I use:

    http://classic.parallax.com/

    to find some of the data sheets missing on the new site.

    Please report missing data sheets to Parallax in the "Suggestions to Parallax" thread in the forum.

    Ahh, excellent suggestion Publison. I didn't know about that site.

    Specifically I am looking for some XBee 5V/3.3V and USB Adapter board datasheets. I'd like to find out if all of the I/O pins on those boards are level shifted down to 3.3V also, or if I'm going to fry something by hooking up 5V to a pin that isn't protected.

    Try this one. If it doesn't work for you just give a shout.

    Sure N & V can be found via downloads, but since these files were moved, old links, including ones posted here, does not work any more.

    Some things got missed during the migration from the old site to the new site. As we find them we fix them, but we can't fix them unless we know. :innocent: So if you see missing downloads for a product, if you send us a quick e-mail to let us know we can get those fixed right away. Thanks! :thumb:
