      @mundsen nope, shipping will start soon (this week!) The shop software is a bit poor for pre-orders

          Tony Can you say if a connector kit will be included and also a cable for the SBC or do we need to source our own beforehand? if we do can you list what we need to obtain.

            @Dougal1957 Connectors and a 26way to 40 way cable for the SBC (compatible with a Raspberry Pi 3 & 4) will be provided.

            Also a SD card with the default image with DuetSoftwareFramework etc installed on it.

                Kind of curious why the Duet stayed with the 40 pin connector instead of matching the 26? Was this to enable backwards functionality if used without a SBC? Enable custom expansion? Just too many 40 pin connects on hand?

                  I think you'll find its the other way around, the connector was reduced from 40 to 26 presumably to save board space.
                  (iircc the old duet 2 expansion is 50 pin(?), the new only needs 5 signals + ground and potentially 5v if so configured. however earlier raspberry boards aslo use a 26 pin connector, could be related)

                      Aug 10th were some comments in this thread about to use other cables if necessary.

                        @T3P3Tony Can we still use the link in the first post to order even though there might not be any available from the first run?

                            Tony is there any chance any more from this first batch will become available I know at least one guy who is desperate to jump on the band waggon. I seem to remember you saying you had kept some back to allow for failures during testing

                              I suppose there is no way to be notified when some stock is available? I have cash in hand for a D3 Mainboard, but missed the pre-order. I don't want to miss the chance to purchase on because I didn't check the website at the right time. So Doug told me to post a comment here as well.

                              Looking forward to this!

                                      It's a little hard to tell from the renderings and pics but can someone confirm that the 26 pin connector polarity notch faces in towards the MPU?

                                          @bearer Yeah but you can't tell in those pics because the cable exits the IDC pins to the left (inwards) but then loops back through the strain relief towards the right and out. I can't see the notch.

                                            @gtj0 I suppose its not given the notch is on the left hand side in those pictures although the red stripe indicating pin 1 would suggest that, which side the cable exits shouldn't affect pin 1 and the notch.
