I was going to order one from Amazon but it shows nothing available until April. I looked all over and see no stick anywhere. When will these be available for sale again?

If you don't need many accessories, you can purchase the ESP32-S3-BOX-3B as an alternative. The ESP32-S3-BOX-3 comes in two different versions: ESP32-S3-BOX-3 and ESP32-S3-BOX-3B. The ESP32-S3-BOX-3 represents the standard edition, equipped with four blue accessories, while the ESP32-S3-BOX-3B provides fewer accessories to meet the needs of beginners who don't require too much unnecessary hardware. Here are the distinctions between the two versions: Comparison

I want an ESP32 WiFi display that can receive and display messages from MQTT. However, it's not clear if I need the bracket or not for this basic function.

Either way, neither is available anywhere for a while which is why I was asking when more units are expected.

ESP-Mars commented 9 months ago

@dac2020 Considering the requirements you've described, the ESP32-S3-BOX-3B should be sufficient. Could you please specify your country? We can assist you in finding the appropriate purchasing channels.

USA, typically order from Amazon.

ESP-Mars commented 9 months ago

@dac2020 We apologize for the insufficient availability of the product. We are actively expediting production. Please keep an eye on platforms such as AliExpress, Mouser, and Adafruit for updates.

Not sure if I just got particularly lucky, although higher lead time was indicated, had my backorder on digikey fullfilled within a month, got it last week shipped within two days to Germany.

dac2020 commented 8 months ago

Personally, I only purchase from Amazon because it's very fast delivery and returns if there are problems. Buying overseas takes much longer and returning an item not working is much harder and longer.

ark626 commented 7 months ago

Same issue still persisting. I backordered it via mouser.de and initially it seemed that the order should be sent out by April but now it seems that the whole order by mouser is again delayed. grafik

Is there any update on this? Currently the EPS-32 Box doesnt seem to be available anywhere and people speculating that the product wont be shipped and is no longer in production.

ESP-Mars commented 7 months ago

The BOX-3 is in urgent production, and a batch of goods will be available on AliExpress and Amazon next week.

raminf commented 7 months ago

I am also looking for the BOX-3. Specifically need one with the microphone and a speaker for a voice recognition application.

It's not clear from the table above if the 3B has those or not. I went ahead and ordered a 3B on AliExpress, just in case. Will the 3B be enough or should I wait for the BOX-3? Thanks!

ESP-Mars commented 7 months ago

@raminf If you specifically need one with a microphone and speaker, the BOX-3B is sufficient, as the BOX-3 only has some additional sensor accessories and adapter boards compared to the BOX-3B.

Still the mouser.com backorders from February are still not received. Also Amazon.de doesn't seem to have them or any retail service for germany.
