Well I tested the rasp pi 4 ways it is dead. so I am waiting on amazon to send a replacement one.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one to get a dead pi from Canaan. I got 6 from them (Don't judge me, I wanted the case)
1 DOA, 1 had a bad mem-card
Happy Testing Phil!
Serves me right to not have a second one on hand. Still waiting for it. My UPS guy comes from 2 to 6pm on paper but in reality mostly from 5 to 6:30.
This does show why parts and service are really important.
MY 'free' sample came with
1 Avalon 841
1 rasp pi in a case with a micro sd card
4 usb cables
4 dongles
1 5 pin cable
A rasp pi for me is a 1 day wait from amazon as no local store carries it.
So to anyone that wants to get the avalon especially 4 or more have 2 rasp pi's makes lots of sense.
While I type I will post the unboxing I did yesterday.
it will be on you tube soon.
Your video will be live at:
https://youtu.be/lyHSeEOYHr0I want to make note
a rasp pi 3 can be found on amazon
a power brick for the rasp pi on amazon
usb cables on amazon
even the 5 pin cable is available on amazon
the usb to uart dongle is an avalon part. they sent four to me which means I may be able to help out with that.
