Cheap Available Boards

[Daniel Bolgheroni]

Hi elua-dev@,

I'm looking for a cheap dev board to run eLua. You may think: "most
boards are cheap". True, but not where I live. For international orders,
usually high taxes and an expensive shipping cost apply.

One alternative is the free shipping HK-based sites like DealExtreme and
others alike.  Does anyone know if any of the available boards on these
sites support eLua?

I'm thinking about a LPC1768 or STM32F103 like those:

http://dx.com/p/stm32-core103v-cortex-m3-stm32f103vet6-development-board-150550
http://dx.com/p/lpc1768-arm-cortex-m3-scm-board-148988

Thank you.

This one is a supported board and the price is not bad.

The LPC1768 is the MCU used on the MBED boards, but I don't know if the GPIO pins of the chip are mapped too or only the board pins are.

If they are all mapped you should have no problem running eLua on that board, but you might have to change the PLL settings if the crystal frequency is different from the MBED.


Best,
Thiago

Yes, but as I wrote, it's not the price of the board that matters, it's
the other costs.

Usually, a ~US$20 board arrives here costing from 3x to 10x the original
price, including shipping costs, import taxes and intermediary profits.

Thank you.

You live in Brazil, right?  How large is the import tax?

PUC-Rio has there own eLua boards.

Yes. The regulations are very complex but, for this kind of stuff,
usually 60%.

The problem isn't just taxes, but high shipping costs too. It varies
from country to country but, as an example, last year I bought a book
from Canada to help a project. The book was priced at around US$20, but
it arrived here for around US$60 (taxes don't apply to books).

It would be much more worthful if I have donated the money instead of
buying the book. Of course, I wouldn't have the book, but this doesn't
matter.

Futurlec is an Australian company.  Do products coming from Australia.
get hit with the same import taxes, intermediary charges and shipping
charges as those coming from USA?

Do the local distributors have anything?  For example, do Mouser or Digikey sell the STMF4 Discovery board (~$16 in the US) at a reasonable price?

Another option is to keep an eye in the tideals.com as they send the boards to Brazil with the taxes payed.
Usually the best options here are chinese sites or ebay.

I'm also in Brazil btw.

The Futurlec STM32F103 "Stamp" board I ordered from Futurlec was shipped form Thailand (along with a bunch of other stuff.)

Didn't find even in the US site.

BTW, Digikey charges US$40 to send to Brazil. Don't know about Mouser.

Thank you.

Daniel,

Regarding the STM32F4 Discovery, I successfully  bought one at
Micro4You[1]. I can't remember how much was the shipping, but I
remember it was quite reasonable.

Last I knew, Dado Sutter at PUC Rio was acting as South American
distributor for the Mizar32, so no taxes or import duty or customs.
Maybe not even postage if you are close :)

But I found it on the first try, the trick is in searching for the
right name I searched for ST Discovery
