Just a bump … I’ve had a Rainmaker backordered at Sweetwater for six months now (not a complaint!) and I’m just curious to see if there’s any movement being seen.
I certainly understand the situation; just putting my ear to the tracks to see if the train is coming. Thanks!
@randyman I can’t speak to Intellijel’s specific situation, but I did some digging about the key component of the Rainmaker, the DE0-Nano Cyclone IV FPGA development board.
the manufacturer is taking pre-orders for the end of the month. I don’t know if they’re hyper-optimists, tho
Adafruit has 11 of them total in stock, and a big warning about needing to have a verified account to buy one
Just to follow up … my Rainmaker is on the way! Sweetwater got some in … unfortunately, it appears that they’re all going to fill preorders, as there has been no change in status on their website.
Still, I am very happy that mine will finally arrive, and I have every confidence it will be well worth the wait.
