I guess by PM I mean email, there isn't an actual Private Messaging feature on the site. The contact form on your profile, just sends you an email from the site. Check you junk email if you don't see it.

Sorry guys, I haven't been watching lately. If there is anyone who still needs a code or that I missed, I still have more. I don't see an expiration date on the cards I have so I'll just assume they'll stay valid for a while.

Topic summary

✨ A limited supply of discount codes for Texas Instruments (TI) eStore products was offered, including the MSP430 ez430-Chronos Wireless Watch Evaluation Tool, Stellaris EVALBOT, and C2000 Piccolo F28027 USB controlSTICK. The discounts significantly reduced prices: the ez430-Chronos from $50 to $25, the Stellaris EVALBOT from $150 to $50, and the C2000 Piccolo controlSTICK from $35 to $25. Multiple users expressed interest primarily in the Stellaris EVALBOT and the ez430-Chronos, requesting codes via private messages or email. The provider confirmed availability of multiple codes for each product over an extended period, with no stated expiration dates. Codes were distributed successfully, and users reported positive experiences using them. Later in the discussion, it was noted that the codes might have expired, but alternative deals such as a discounted Chronos Watch at Digi-Key were shared. The conversation focused on sharing discount opportunities for TI development tools to support embedded systems development and evaluation.

How did people request and receive a discount code?

Users posted interest, and Ben sent codes using the site’s profile contact form (email), not an internal PM system. He advised checking junk mail if you didn’t see it. [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659469]

Were the codes time-limited or did they expire?

Yes. Although early cards showed no visible expiry, Ben later confirmed, “Looks like these are expired,” on March 29, 2012. Treat older codes as invalid. [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659498]

Did the codes actually work for buyers?

Yes. Joshua reported, “I received the codes, they seem to have worked,” on September 7, 2011. This confirms real-world redemption success. [Elektroda, Joshua Newman, post #21659473]

How many EVALBOT codes were available at one point?

On August 16, 2011, Ben said he still had “5 or so” EVALBOT codes, and plenty of others. This indicates limited but ongoing availability then. [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659465]

A compact USB plug‑in evaluation module for TI’s C2000 Piccolo MCU family, offered in this thread at $25 for entry‑level control projects. [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659456]

Were requests still being fulfilled late in 2011?

Yes. Ben periodically resurfaced to say he had more codes and was “caught up” on sending them, through November and December 2011. [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659493]

How do I replicate the request process from this thread?

Post your interest specifying the kit.
Watch for an email sent via your forum profile contact form.
Check your spam folder and reply to confirm receipt. “By PM I mean email... Check your junk email.” [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659469]

Any sign these deals continued into 2012?

Codes expired by March 29, 2012, but a new deal appeared April 4, 2012 for Chronos at $24.50, showing shifting opportunities after expiry. [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659499]

What if I try an old code today and it fails?

Failure is expected. The thread’s owner stated the codes had expired by March 29, 2012. Seek current promotions instead. [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659498]

What’s a realistic discount range based on this thread?

Discounts hit 50% on Chronos and about 67% on EVALBOT during 2011. One user called it “fast, friendly and helpful.” [Elektroda, Toomas Pruuden, post #21659475]

Did anyone report difficulty receiving codes?

What’s the last confirmed status from the thread owner?

Final status: codes expired as of March 29, 2012. Look for alternative deals like the April 4, 2012 Chronos sale. [Elektroda, Ben, post #21659498]
