| + | ==== Worldwide shortages ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | As you might have heard in the news, there are worldwide shortages of a lot of chips. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This has had massive impact on our ability to produce Smoothieboard v1, and to make progress on Smoothieboard v2. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We currently have managed to produce boards, and there should be stock for the foreseeable future, but this is a constant fight to stay in stock, and you can expect at *some point*, we'll have shortages again like we had beginning of 2021. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The chips are also much more expensive than normal. We were able to get *some* at higher-than-normal-but-not-crazy prices some weeks back, but at the time of this writing (May 2021), the only chips available have 1000%+ price markups: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hopefully all of this calms down and fixes itself as 2021 progresses. We'll keep you informed. | ||
