    If it's any help, I post my P8XBlade2's around the world for US$20 unregistered at buyers risk.
    Mexico seems a no go though. Would need to check if I have sent to Greece before.

    I will be in Italy in 2 weeks, then UK.
    Don't know if the post is any better from there?
    Might actually be worse as I don't have a local address.

  • Mouser also ships in Europe quite quickly.

    The FLiP should be out this week. Our team is quite conservative when it comes to accepting pre-orders. Some of them remember 1995 when Chip said the BS2 is "almost ready" but had to wait another year for it to ship :)

    Thanks, this is for someone on my Patreon. They're starting to waffle on connecting everything themselves, I don't think it's worth your efforts. They should be able to buy directly.

    Added Mouser to the list, thanks. The FLiP looks great!

  • DHL is a good choice for Greece but you might have to pay VAT when it goes through customs. Or if you know anyone traveling there they might be able to take it with them. You just can't ship to embargo countries check state dept. rules first.
  • I am totally buying a FLiP for evaluation as soon as they become available.

    WRT getting microcontrollers in Athens, I'm sorry to report that Kronos Robotics is long gone. Their Athena and Perseus micros would be apropos in Greece, the cradle of modern computing.

    Xanadu,
    A year ago I had bought a propeller mini for my ELEV-8 smoke machine.
    The all thing was totally experimental and as I was afraid to damage the propeller mini I finally used a cheap Arduino nano.

    So I have completelly new and unused the propeller mini.
    If you want I can sent it to your friend .
