I am considering ordering one of these. Chase was your order ever fulfilled?

I have one in the works

I did look at it briefly when I saw your Riot driver PR as I hadn't seen that chip yet.

I only stopped because sub-GHz antennas are either big or expensive compared to 2.4GHz. But I didn't realize that the only boards for it are so expensive already. I agree it would be greatly beneficial to have a cheaper option especially to encourage more developer interest which I am always very keen to do.

What kind of antenna would you want for the sub-GHz band? I could make a module for about the same $9 if I could just let the end user solder their own wire antenna. I'm not sure how user-friendly that is, but a simple wire cut to the right length works great for sub-GHz. It's possible to do an SMA or U.FL connector too but both the connector and mating antenna add cost. I'd much rather include a (virtually free) PCB trace antenna but at 433MHz and 915MHz a trace antenna is just too big to include on the PCB and that's the main thing that stopped me from doing this so far.

As of recently, invoices are sent automatically for every order as a PDF attached to the order confirmation email. Sorry that took so long to implement. I ended up rewriting the whole website, you know, as you do.

There isn't any code running on it. The chip is a transceiver. Here is the datasheet.

If you want access to the code running the driver in the linux kernel, it's located here.

Yes, you will require. I bought, but found it very hard to go through India customs

Yes of course.

I'm sorry about that. I'm trying to get credit cards added soon.

I'm not sure about Indonesia specifically but to most countries it takes 1.5 to 3 weeks. Shipping is USPS First Class from USA.

Were you able to successful complete this setup? If yes, could you please share the learnings?

I'm not sure the linux 802.15.4 stack has complete coordinator support yet, but you can still network two devices together without any coordinator anyway. I haven't tried a GRE tunnel specifically, but the 6lowpan interface shows up as a standard network interface in linux so I'd expect that to work. As long as you mind the low bandwidth, you should be able to do most things with the 6lowpan interface that you can do with other interfaces.

Hi. Sorry for the delay. Usually I'm a little quicker but there were many more backorders than I anticipated and I've only just now gotten caught up after getting more radios in stock. You should have received a shipping confirmation and tracking number today but I'll send the tracking number to you as well.

Please note that these are currently on backorder. I'll have more in stock this week. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes you could use this for any type of zigbee device. It's what the IC was originally made for I believe.

I think I've heard or seen something like that before. I'd expect the shipping charge to reappear before the checkout process is complete.

The antenna is AMCA31-2R450G-S1F-T

The indoor range of course varies a lot but I've seen at least probably 20 meters with a few walls in between. I haven't actually established the maximum range for lack of space.

I hate to disappoint but I don't think so. 900MHz may well have a slight advantage in getting through walls and such, but 2.4GHz is a worldwide ISM band and I'm quite enthusiastic about global standards. 2.4GHz is the only 802.15.4 frequency that's usable in every country.

Everything ships from USA.

They said they kept the pinout and everything the same, so it certainly is supposed to. I'll try it if I can get my hands on one, but I don't know when that will be.

Yes, I ship anywhere. I think I've sent some to Turkey already.

were u able to make it work with ur adruino(uno)?..If so can u guide me(email id: rohitc09@gmail.com

This one is usable with Arduino. The pinout matches Raspberry Pi but you can hook it up to anything.

Thanks for the update.

Yes they're compatible with both.

They might block 2 extra pins on the B+ since the module slightly overhangs the edge of the pin header and the B+ extends that pin header.

Sure, I wouldn't keep the listing up if I wasn't still making them. :)

Shipping to Europe is generally about 2 weeks for First Class although there's a lot of variation. Hardly anyone uses Priority so I'm not sure but I bet it's not really much faster.

Thanks Alex. I mentioned in a blog post the new wpan kernels and new mailing list but I forgot to look around for other links and mentions to update.

EDIT:
Which are the current userspace tools now?

Looks like for wpan-next it's https://github.com/linux-wp... ?

Hi. I'll see if I can find an order for 3 that matches your name, but it's much easier if you reply to the order confirmation email so that I know both your order number and your email address and can then email you directly with exact details. Many people do order 3 at once so it's not certain I'll be able to find your order easily or at all.

Assuming you ordered within the past few weeks, these have been on backorder for about that long. The first batch sold out almost instantly once they started going and it takes several weeks for me to get more PCBs. I received them this week, tracking numbers went out yesterday, and most of them will be assembled, packaged, and shipped over the weekend. Hopefully I have enough PCBs this time that this does not happen again. :)

If you ordered before they sold out, then probably they're in transit to you still and should arrive soon. International shipping takes about 1-3 weeks in _most_ cases but certainly it can take longer if customs decides to interfere. The tracking information may show where they are now, however the tracking that gets relayed back to USPS is incomplete from some countries so this may not be helpful. If it was a US order (I get very few US orders) placed while these were in stock then something has probably gone horribly wrong as you should have received them forever ago. I'll send out a replacement package as soon as I have your address if that's the case.

Hopefully this has been helpful to you, but if not then please reply to your order confirmation or shipping notification email. In the mean time I will look for your order myself, however Opencart has no features for this kind of detective work so it will take some time and effort.

Yes, I'm using it with Contiki myself and I understand that it works with TinyOS as well.

Of course, it's the software that really determines this. Contiki and I think TinyOS have RFC-compliant 6LoWPAN implementations already. As for Linux, the 6LoWPAN stack has become mostly (maybe completely?) compliant earlier this year in the net-next branch and it now interoperates adequately with other compliant stacks.

This blog post has a bit more information on the current state of things, and the linux-zigbee mailing list is the place to be if you're working with 6LoWPAN on Linux.
