 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Is anyone else seeing this? I can browse around just fine, and in the case of the tilt-switches I wanted to buy some of, I can see that they say they have 4,287 in stock - great!   Now, I login and try to add them to my cart, and the available quantity is now 'ERROR', and it simply won't let me add any to my cart, so I can't go any further.   I opened a chat with them, and went through all of this, and even they don't know what is going on, as it works fine for them, so they were saying. Tried another browser, exactly the same problem. Cleared cookies, and logged in again, same problem. Anyone else seeing that? EDIT: I have managed to complete an order, but I had to add to cart what I wanted, and THEN login and complete - then it let me. Odd. Oh well. I bought three different types of tilt sensor to play with. One is another ball-type unit, but it is a gold-plated ball and contacts unit, so says the datasheet, so that alone might solve many of my problems, as the cheap ones from China were.....well......cheap ones from China.

I can add to the cart from au site with no problem https://www.digikey.com.au/product-detail/en/e-switch/TM1000Q/EG4917CT-ND/2498457 NZ OK too. https://www.digikey.co.nz/product-detail/en/e-switch/TM1000Q/EG4917CT-ND/2498457 Maybe just a glitch. looks like it could not get the quantity avaiable when you went to order.

See edit above, Paul. By ordering several different sensors and 50 20MHz crystals, you get the total up to NZ$40 or so, and the shipping is then free. So, 10x TM1000, 5x RPI1035, 10x RB22007AR and 50x crystal = $66 with free UPS shipping. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

@ palcal: Yes, I did notice that, but they are not in stock, and you have to buy 350 of them in one go!  Not expected before June this year either.Evidence. @ hitsware: I also like Mouser. Should have tried them, but I have bought from DigiKey plenty in the past, and it always worked. Oh well. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |
