Is ServoPal also Discontinued?

G McMurry

I am duplicating a system I built a couple of years ago. I just went online to buy another ServoPal. It says "unavailable"! I just went through this with the Backpack. This is really frustrating...

Don't tell me that Parallax has also decided to stop making the ServoPal?

Ok, maybe I can find one somewhere.... Does anyone know where I can find one?

OK -- I see that someone else is selling the ServoPal. This is a good case for letting someone delete their post.

Sorry for the waste of time.

You didn't say which supplier you found. I would suggest:

http://shopsimplytronics.com/servopal/

They have been associated with Parallax for quite a while.

I think I have a brand new one around somewhere. Drop me a PM and I will see if I can locate it.

Yes, I found these people. They are referred by Parallax on the website.

They even give us a link to: http://shopsimplytronics.com/servopal/

Greg: I suppose next you will want a (discontinued and sold-out) serial HW board?

OK, you're right... You got me there.

Its just batting 1000 for me. The only Parallax accessories I ever tried, liked and used, are now discontinued.

ServoPal https://www.parallax.com/product/28824

I love my old Stampworks Prototype board. I could easily try out all sorts of ideas on it with very little additional hardware. I gave mine to a friend that was getting into electronics and thought I would just go pick up another one for myself. Not quite that easy, but I found one in almost new condition on EBAY.

The good news with all of this stuff, there are enough users out there that I always find replacement or an alternative. That's why I like this forum.

Greg: Your life is woefully incomplete without a long-discontinued Stampmem module. PDF attached.

Yes I have one, and no it's not for sale! I should test it someday to make sure it actually works.

"Some day"? Dude, you snatched that thing off Ebay in 2009!!

Get busy!

Nice to know someone is keeping tabs on me!

I just found the documentation for it online (not at Parallax) so I'll store it in my old thread on it, which is searchable (heck, DJ found it!) : http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/118777-Easy-Memory-Increase-StampMem?p=868657#post868657
