Disto X2 component swap shop

Having jumped the gun buying a cheap X310 and, assuming they turn up, surplus bluetooth module, accelerometer and STM32, I'm now a bit committed on building a Disto board to make use of them (I know, I know :cry:. )

Currently trawling through the various suppliers, some components are easy to find, others less so and subject to either long lead times or mad handling/US delivery costs.

I thought since a lot of these little SMD bits are as cheap to buy in bulk or subject to minimum quantities, there may be a bit of surplus out there - so, if anyone has anything gathering dust and wants to recoup some outlay, trade for other bits etc. this may be a handy thread through which to do it.

If you PM / email me a list of what parts you need I can see what I can do for you. I regulary buy alot from the US so if its from Mouser or Digikey could tag yours on.

Thanks to Mike I'm pretty well sorted for everything apart from the PAN1026A. The supply I thought I had failed and in an odd twist of rubbing my nose in it was the one thing I assumed to be the key to unlocking the distox2 conundrum...

So - is there the slightest chance anyone has a couple of spare ones lying around?

Hey guys, jumping on the thread as it’s the latest Disto one. Is there any chatter about upgrading the newer disto x3 to have a compass? It’s seems a pity it has the incline built in but you can’t send the two measurements at once

I noticed recently that Oliver Landolt updated the DistoX2 design to v1.2 in 2020 to deal with some obsolete components, got a batch made and made the BOM+gerbers available. Presumably that's what 'undergound' is working from? I aspked him what the current status is and he said:
My version of the board cannot be manufactured anymore because several
parts have become obsolete. I know someone who went to the trouble of
redesigning the board and the related firmware in-depth. I know he was
successful. However, he still did not give me the green light to forward
DistoX2 requests to him. I have good hope that he will soon offer his
boards to the cavers community, but I don't know the time frame. I take
note of your e-mail address and I will let you know as soon as I have
news.
So apparently there is a v1.3 out there.

Does anyone have any non-magnetic LiPo cells they could sell on to me? Shipping from the US is painfully expensive, and the EU distributor seems to have a MOC of 1000 pieces (although I've emailed them to ask if they can make an exception).

Ben Wright, CDG, red rose and BPC, used to keep a load of batteries of the sort you’re describing in stock. No idea if he has any at the moment, I haven’t seen him since I begged to borrow the use of his washing machine in the spring/summer.
