Raspberry Pi - Compliance Update
2000 Raspberry Pi's are now in the UK.You can see pictures of them leaving
the factory in China here; http://www.raspberrypi.org/ LOL |

The other kit will have the isolating transformers so it is safe. The Pi might get killed by PoE. |

Probably a case of them thinking that would be how they'd do it when the RPi foundation were going to manufacture an sell themselves, but RS/Farnell deciding they weren't happy now that *they* are licensed to do the manufacturing and selling. |

Typical TNP, can't even remember what has been posted and associate the missing isolating transformers on the Pi with the possibility of applying a 18+V supply directly across chips on the Pi. TNP really is becoming more stupid by the post. |

I ordered mine around 10am on the first morning. Had an email from Farnell a while ago saying ETA of this week, heard nothing since. When I saw your post I logged into onecall but can't see my order at all in the order history... Wonder if my order has somehow vanished? :-/ Darren |
