acarrou Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Hello, Is there a reason why the Analog Discovery 2 is priced so high compared to what it used to be? I used this device in a lab last week at my school, and they said students were able to buy it for $99. However, I look at the price right now, and it's $280, which is way out of my price range. Is the up in price due to the semiconductor shortage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JColvin Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hi @acarrou, I reached out to Digilent's Test and Measurement Product Manager and received the following response: Quote The $99 introductory price of the original analog discovery hasn't been around since 2015. That price was driven primarily by part donations which ended around the introduction of the Analog Discovery 2 (it costs much more than $99 just to buy the parts). Then in 2020 the price of the parts inside unexpectedly doubled, driving another price increase, although we absorbed a good amount of that to try to minimize the impact. Thank you, JColvin acarrou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
