ETA on Bluefruit EZlink shield

Post by edavishahl »

Is there an estimated date on when the new revised Bluefruit EZlink shield and/or breakout board will become available? I am putting together a new course for spring quarter (starts April 4) and would really like to use the EZlink for wireless programming with MATLAB. If the EZlink will become available in the next week or two than I can wait for it. If not I am going to need to figure something else out.

I would sign up to be notified and also work toward an alternative just incase.

Thanks for the quick reply. I signed up to be notified several weeks ago when I first was hoping to purchase the shield for development work. By saying "just in case" do you mean to imply that the EZlink products are likely to come back in stock in the next few weeks? Are you able to give a percent likelihood by chance?

Thanks.

Sorry, we give no predictions and no promises on availability.

Hi, realise that this thread is several months old, but also curious when this product will be available again? As it has been almost 10 months is there any indication when this will be available?

Cheers.

Sorry but component availability has delayed this and there is still no ETA.

Ok thanks. In the meantime I am looking for a Bluetooth breakout board that will connect to a Arduino Due and allow connection to a Windows 10 PC to pass data in both directions. Do you have a product that will do this? All the ones that I look at talk about iOS and Android.

Thanks.
