Very nice, chewiesw!

Awesome. What's it made of?

 

[PhireSide]

It sort of looks like a type of hardboard that was cut and etched with a laser cutter

I dig the logos, it looks tidy!

AWESOME! Now will Pimoroni let me buy one since I've already bought a Zero from them and they still have that 1 per customer limit.

Edit: Nevermind - new distributors added. 25000 units / week - let's hope that means we'll get them locally soon.

In the meantime, anyone got a friend who can bring these in? Just realised I don't actually have anyone for at least a month or 2.

Does anyone know where I can get a 2k ohm resistor in Meyerton area?? PiShop is out of stock
I'm planning a project with the ultrasonic distance measuring module (HC-SR04)

Meyerton doesn't have much in that regard. But, Mantech eletronics is at the other end of the N12 Or alternatively goto G.T. Eletronics at East Rand Mall.

Sorry, new enthusiast here, interested in playing around with AWS IoT.

What is the best hardware route, Raspberry Pi 3 ok ? Alternatives ?

Can I get locally, or do I need to import ? Amazon has a lot of stuff, although I will have to bring it in via a shipper.

AWS for Raspberry ?

Any other tips / suggestions ?

 

[xrapidx]

I import... think the majority buy local.

Any idea of decent local suppliers ? Hardware recommendations ?

 

[PhireSide]

Try www.pishop.co.za or RS Electronics?

I bought my Rpi3 from Hobbytronics in PE, can highly recommend them

Any ideas as to AWS api support for the Raspberry Pi 3 B ?

OK, have found some Amazon documentation.

Any local source for "All-New AWS IoT Button (2nd Generation)" ?
