RFD22301 is not available (reason: obsolete)
he guys i am trying to make open bci cyton by myself using the schematics and bom given. but i am stuck in a tough spot as i cant find RFD22301 as they are saying its obsolete. there were other passive components that were not available but i replaced them with another component with similar configuration. so can you suggest an alternate component which will replace RFD22301. and if so then will it be a problem?
thanks!!

Octopart has nothing at all too, I literally researched all of the major and smaller suppliers, nobody has it!
Is it a possibility to use the RFD-77101 component used for ganglion??? If so, how could one set that up? It would require modifying firmware and configurations??
RF Digital also has the RFD2230 ( http://www.rfdigital.com/product/rfd22302-rfduino-ble-smt-for-ext-antenna/index.html ), which I have no idea if it can work with the Cyton board. I believe it requires ''an external antenna'' judging by the title and really dont know anything about radio and how to chose the appropriate antenna and also set it up for communication with the dongle.
Please if you could provide some tips, help and and a solution to this? For all the people that are trying to make this board and cannot access the components. The help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Just a note anyone else that is looking for the RFD22301, after hours and hours of searching all of the possible suppliers, I came across a company ''SWATEE ELECTRONICS'' that happened to be the only ones that stocked the item and claimed to actually have more that 2500 of these in their stock available directly.... BUT it has been more than 15 days that they took the money out of my account and never replied to any email, call or even a dispute I started via Paypal, I am certain these people are shady and the whole thing is a scam, just a heads up to stay away!
But this is definitely a solution, once again many thanks!
Thanks.
I want to make my cyton board, but now we can't buy any RFD module.
Thanks you for your response.
Unfortunately, i need, for my project, to connect the Cyton on a Bluetooth device (smartphone, tablet, ...)
