The second redboard does not contain all the components.</p><p>The IOIO otg board, I still have no idea what is wrong with this.</p></p>

I ordered 5, and got 4 identical 7-segment serial LED driver boards. So... not quite there on variety.<p>On the other hand, the other thing on the order was 2 of the 4-digit 7-seg displays that go with them. So... maybe that was on purpose? That's nice if that's the case, but still... 4?</p></p>

After seeing his collection of projects in progress. I opened a browser and showed him 31 items I had sitting in my Sparkfun cart. He had 28 of those items in quantities of 8-24 each! My cart had 1 of each item in it and was over $100. He insisted I went home with 4 of each item. Now I'm the hoarder.<p>Thanks, Dad, for making me the geek I am today, even before it was cool. Love you. (It's cool to know he'll stumble upon this someday.)</p></p>

As tinkerers we are all predisposed toward hoarding. The last thing we need is to be buying stuff WE KNOW DOESN'T WORK. Life is too short. DON'T DO IT!!!</p>

Sure, it's possible all those microphone boards all had the same defect, but otherwise I'd prefer multiple copies of the same board, as it'd give me the greatest chance of being able to make something work.</p>

<strong>Update 3-2</strong> I got my box of stuff and got a Digital Sandbox, Lilypad Basic w/o USB, MP3 shield, WAV trigger, MaKey MaKey, 2 Microview programmers, a Microview w/ detached OLED and a TLC5490 (?) breakout</p>

Before, when we added stock, chances were that it was all a single build, and it was all the same thing. Since it was split between types, it almost always meant that it was the same thing that got added. But with everything combined, ALL builds go into the same box. And we're always building about a dozen or so products, so when stock gets added, it will most likely be a mix. Check the video Friday, you can see what's in the box, it's a large assortment of stuff. You shouldn't be getting the same thing if you buy multiples. Of course, no promises though.</p>
