That makes the package an even better bargain.  |

Just received in an email from Atmel (We are on "alert" mailing lists as well as being Certified AVR Consultants and have gone to various seminars so I cannot tell exactly the reason):
Quote:
Deep discounts on AVR tools:
STK500
AVR Dragon
JTAGICE2
Find out why Atmel's AVR MCUs are the fastest-growing and #1 8-bit microcontroller of choice for ultra low power and high-performance applications.

The "Click here" link is to a DigiKey search result on "AVRDEVKIT":

| As well as the AT90S8515-8PC that comes with STK500 itself. |

Markus: I was mentioning only boards that contain the
developement connections. If you have to add additional equipment, then , the original board, that doesn't have the developement connectors, would not IMHO, be a development board. Adding the additional equipment makes for a development tool/system.
BTW, I purchased smileys book and he offers a great set of development tools. |

I just called Digi-Key. The STK-500s are scheduled to arrive on Sunday (yeah - that seems odd to me too), so kits should be shipping soon after that.
Can't wait to get my Jtag ice mkii! |

I hope this is the case. I placed an order this morning seeing on their order system that they were expecting in the STK500s on the 29th but they called me this morning and said they dont know when they can fulfill my order. I mentioned that their order system indicated they would be getting more STK500s soon and the JTagIceII was indicated as being in stock. But the representative said they did not even have a date when they would be getting a shipment from the factory.
So I told them to keep my order open and I'll keep my fingers crossed! |

| Can you ask them to ship separately? You'll pay the $5 or so extra for shipping, but at least you can play with the mkii or dragon in the meantime. |

Someone above said they had to ship together...
I'll wait till next week when both are in stock and call again and ask if they can ship my order.
These are their estimates on when they're receiving STK500s:
Quantity Ship Date Estimate
443 4/29/2007
162 5/2/2007
1000 5/3/2007 |

| Does digikey always ships parts separately if something is not in stock ? I ordered the combo stk500 / dragon and some LEDs. Today i got a big box and in that box lots of paper, after unwrapping all the paper I found 3 LEDs. |

Yes, unless you tell them otherwise. |

| I did the same. Since they had to "assemble" my STK500/Dragon combo (read "assemble" as "put one box on top of the other") they decided to ship my 2 ATMega32's by themselves and then ship the combo later that day. At $8 each instead of together, too... |

When ordering from Digi-Key there is a text box and what I did was entered that all should ship at one time and instead of using a credit card I selected for them to call for verification ( it's up to them to call and get your credit info and to verify the message).

I finally received my STK500 + JTAG ICE MK2 Bundle  .. As much as i rant abt life being hard for an AVR Freak here in INDIA .. you can see now how i received my bundle :
-> April 7th - Placed the Order on Digikey
-> April 10th - Order is shipped - 150$ for kit + 6$ for international handling + 38$ for shipping = 194$
-> April 24th - Receive a call from Foreign Post office in New Delhi. They say my local post office rejected my package and they are about to send it back to US. They ask me to come immedietly with a letter for them to resend it to my local post office. I scooted from my work for 20 miles (to and back each) to the foreign post office
-> Later on April 24th -> After explaining that the post man never ever came to my home with the package and being forced to pay 5$ bribe they say they will resend the package back to my local post office. Total cost = 194$ + 5$ bribe
-> April 26th - Receive a call from the local post office. Postman asks me to come to post office and collect the package. I asked why wudnt he come to my home to deliver , he says the postman of my area is on leave.
-> Later on April 26th - I was at work so i sent my brother to the post office. He walks 2 mile to the post office only to be told to come later as they were having lunch
-> Further later on April 26th - My brother again goes to the post office in New Delhi 105F heat. Pays 50$ customs duty and finally gets the package  .
Total Cost = 249$
Time taken = 16 days since it was shipped by digikey
Distance i had to travel here in the capital = 45 miles
Most of my excitement has died .. but i guess it will again emerge once i get my hands on the kit
Better Luck to all you freaks here |

I just did a chat with Digi-Key. The new date for the STK500 is May 25th. I asked about receiving the instock portion of the kit ahead of time. Sherri told me that due to restrictions on the Atmel promotion they have to ship the items together. Presently approximately 200 STK500s are on back order with Digikey. The shipment expected on 5/25 is supposed to more than cover the back-order, but she did not quote a quantity they are expected. Digi-Key is trying to expedite this with Atmel, but so far no luck.
Therefore, it looks like if we order now, we may have the items by the end of May. |

Oha,
seems that Digi-Key doubled the prices also for the AVRDEVKITs. At least on their german site.
I ordered a AVRDEVKIT2 at €116.28, now its listed €255.80!
AVRDEVKIT1 changed from around €40-50 to €98.76 
Hope I get mine for the old price. |
