Title: Special offer for Arduino Uno at Lextronic...
Post by: Lionel Debroux on February 12, 2011, 11:19:39 am
I saw that the well-known French reseller "Lextronic", is currently making special offers with the Arduino Uno board (one of the models which can be used for a CALCnet - globalCALCnet bridge, see http://www.cemetech.net/news.php?id=439 ): http://www.lextronic.fr/P4124-platine-arduino-uno.html

There are two additional gifts, as long as supplies last:
* several resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and other things;
* a VGA output module (for a strange resolution) controlled by a serial link.

That said, 1) the supplies may have already been exhausted since the offer began yesterday, and 2) they ship in France with shipment fees of 8€, or in Europe with shipment fees of 21€...

Lol at first I though this was a spambot then I saw your nickname. Too bad they may not ship outside France, though. I plan to get one eventually, but I am not sure how much it will cost from Canada.

Yeah, "Special offer for..." on message boards is often spam indeed :D

I've edited the message: they ship in Europe, but shipment fees are 21€...

Hum, I'm getting a free arduino somewhen this week because I won a contest, they said they haven't been able to give it to me yet due to burocratic issues........

Ouch, if they shipped outside Europe, imagine how much they would have charged... O.O
