KL25Z - How much should one of these cost? I've seen prices ranging from £15 - 250 £15 ones are NLA. current price on Amazon is £69

 

I've found an i-pac 2 without an accelerometer, that may do the job for now (use buttons for nudging) for £35 on eBay, is this a good price?
 

Also seen a PinOne board on Cleveland Software Design which appears to do everything but I'm a little confused by this, dunno if I'd need other boards to make it work? I'm guessing not but I thought I'd better check

This also appears to only be available in USA but that may not be an issue, $40, £33

 

are there any others with or without an accelerometer that do the job? 

 

I don't need button lighting or solenoids, just a keyb interface for 4 flipper/nudge buttons & about 7 microswitch buttons, will be using a Launch Ball button not plunger.

 

TIA

NXP lists them for $17.25 but they are pending stock. People are selling/scalping them all over.

It could be in stock tomorrow or sometime in 2024? Whenever they put a fab order in.

 

I ordered a KL46Z from Malaysia and it arrived within 5 days via Fed Ex Int'l. Shipping was $20.50 (ouch).

I haven't had time to plug it in yet. It is close to a KL25 in functionality and has more GPIO pins available.

 

I’m retiring in a few months (retired from Honeywell and soon a major hospital). I am not an embedded systems

engineer or a C/C Sharp/Visual Studio programmer so it will be slow sledding. I'm not sure what tool chain

I want to use yet.

Cool although I don't know if that's retiring, sounds like a lot of work, I'm sure you'll be able to get some help with the coding
 

I think I'm going to try the PinOne, I have a friend visiting from the States next month

Cheaper than an i-pac2 & available

The NXP-made KL-25z is back in stock over here.

 

I picked-up a spare.
