The Raspberry Pi Foundation’s $5 barebones computer remains ever-elusive for many would be buyers. Almost as quickly as the device goes back in stock it sells out again.

On Wednesday 24 February, The Pi Hut is going to start selling a fresh batch of Pi Zero stock, and you’ll have not one, but two chances to get your hands on the desirable little piece of kit.

The Pi Hut launched a poll on Twitter to find out when followers would like the stock to be made available, and the result was so close the company has decided to go for a "double launch".

There will be two batches up for sale. 50 percent of the stock will be made available at 9.00am GMT/4.00am EST/1.00am PST, and the remaining 50 percent will be up for grabs later the same day at 7.00pm GMT/2.00pm EST/11.00am PST.

As always, despite a one Pi Zero per customer limit, demand is sure to quickly outstrip supply so you might want to turn up early.

If you manage to get a Pi Zero there’s a chance it will go out of stock before you get to the checkout. If that happens, The Pi Hut recommends hitting the F5 key which will refresh the page and might result in you getting stock allocated to you. Well, it’s worth a try.

If all else fails, you can always use this trick to find where else the Pi Zero might be in stock.
