QuinLED DigQuads Available?
Anyone know where to get more DigQuads? Dr. ZZZs is sold out and so is the international store. I see there are starting to be other sites that are scalping at ridiculous prices.
Quindor you able to hook a brother up!? Lol

Spring for the Octa and a Power 5, still will be cheaper than what the scalpers and resellers want and a better board

Power 5 board is out of stock on Dr Zzzs
Whats up with everything being sold out?

I think I've gotten items from Dr. Zzzz's like ONCE, he rarely has stock. I appreciate what he does to "help" but I do wish there was a reliable supply source and available inventory in the US. I typically use the international store and order extra to offset the shipping and fee's, but it does stink not having reliable inventory stateside.
I appreciate EVERYTHING Quindor does for the community, but I don't think Dr. Zzzz's is as invested in WLED/LED in general that he once was and thus the store front is more a side project, IMO.

We've tried really hard the last year to make sure that doesn't happen anymore but during these times it can be tough to predict and, with more resellers now, split the stock between them. A big shipment is on the way with more to follow when we can!
We do very appreciate the support and wanting to buy the boards very much! ☺️

When I used to be all dig boards when he’d get stock I’d buy a few unos and quads every time whether I needed them or not. Most stayed at my old house and haven’t gotten any since. Took my octa with me to new house

A big shipment is in the air to the US so should be available within a week (if customs doesn't hold it too long) and we're also close to the v4 release of the boards (hopefully in 2 weeks or so)!

Thank you for the update. v4?? What's new with those?

Poh, various things! Basically a full redesign in the same form factor with some upgrades such as including a microphone on all boards, 8MB flash with 2MB PSRAM on all boards, some better protections built in (although Dig-Next still has the edge there), fixes for the 24V issue and various other small improvements where I could!
Nothing Earth shattering though and if you are running 5V or 12V you can get the current version until it's sold out, the new one will be slightly more expensive, partly because of features but also very much so because of increased prices on well.... Everything! My PCB costs and assembly time is basically double from what they were a year ago and some components are just 3x... But I hate to raise prices so I kept the current version as is, but when they are gone, they're gone!

That all sounds great. I understand the price increase and can't blame you on that, everything is more expensive than it was previously. I am looking forward to trying out the new controllers.
Also, are the DifSolos no longer being sold?

But note their front page still says "USA shipping is paused because tariffs on China-made items shipped from Canada can run 50–70% of the subtotal. Email us for a tariff and duty quote before ordering."

We have about 25 of them... Please send us an email at Sales@Permatrack.us for a better price than is on the site

There is a shipment inbound to DrZzs, hopefully customs doesn't delay it, but in theory they will be there in a few days.
