Anyone in the forum into Raspberry Pi?

Post new topic

If Raspberry Pi means nothing to you, obviously not.

User Groups have spread as far as Thailand and HongKong and I have ordered some development/prototype boards to be assembled on a give away basis for students.

If anyone is interested in forming a Raspberry Pi UG please either post below or PM.

Hi! I wanna buy one Raspberry Pi for testing, but I can't find supplier that can definitely in short time (2-3 weeks) deliver it. Element14 and RS not send in Vitnam. You know who can?

Our supplies are through HKG.

The PCB's are impossible to duplicate. However, I am having other 'plates' (expansion boards) made in VN.

The Arduino is stocked and selling in VN (Binh Thanh).

I guess Element14 and RS have heard about VN's reputation as a credit card ripoff centre. I will contact someone to find out.

Because of VN customs it is often cheaper to have someone hand-carry them in. JNE Courier offers a hand-carry courier service.

Singapore suppliers:
RS Components Pte Ltd
1A International Business Park, Level 2 & 3
Singapore(609933)
Collection Centre:
31 Tech Park Crescent
Singapore 638040

Arduino is selling in Binh Thanh district (D1) in Ho Chi Minh?! Am I right?

Quan Binh Thanh and Quan 1 are mutually exclusive.

A limited selection of Arduino are sold in a store in Quan Binh Thanh.
