Yes, I know this. But the ones I have been requesting lately are not available in this package as samples. It looks as if I am going to spend a little time making adapter boards. ::)

I think that I should add:
I am very grateful to these companies for providing samples for my prototyping purposes. We might rate them as fast or slow or grumble about package types available, but the bottom line is, they are free and an expense I do not have to provide to find out something is not what I want. I did not want my previous post(s) to seem like I was not appreciative of this service from them.

You won't believe this story... :eek:

As I have written before, I have ordered samples from some companies in order to find the best one, which is of course TI (best record : TWO days from Order to Delivery, from US to Greece). :eek:

But today I received something which I never ordered (and still don't know if I CAN order at all) : a five kilo box full with data books, FREE of charge, right into my door ! :eek: :eek: :eek:




THANKS
I know you won't believe me, so I attach a photo with all the stuff laid on to my floor ! ;)

So, please pick the right answer to the question "why ?"

a. This was all a delivery mistake and I am just the lucky guy.
b. A hacker log into my account, ordered all this and paid for it !
c. TI has a LOT of money to give around and they just don't care !
d. They have read my past thread about the qualifications and they decided to give me a gift.

For your information, a local electronics store sells ONE of those data books for over 30 euros and even more !

WOW ! :eek:
PLEASE IF YOU CAN WRITE MORE DETAILS FOR THIS DATA SHEETS.

Hey guys.

I was just wondering if anybody on these forums have received an ATMEL sample to an Australian residence. I live in Australia and I am reluctant to order some as it may be delivered with some kind of cost or COD. Thanks for any help you can provide,

Regards

There is a company named "small parts" in the US that gives (or used to give) free samples of small gears, etc.

For motors, I would also like to know where to get free samples. I have not heard of it.

I did :)

But do not receive all parts requested. Some product are never sent :-\


I'm surprised with your problem.
May be I can suggest you to specify only one reference per request.

Did your referencement completely ?
Did you fill you login and password ?

Could I know the reference of the product ?
