New Bundle: The Northern Lights!
Dave Hrynkiw
December 6, 2012
Ok, more like The Northern light. There's only one, but it creates lots of light!
We made the SB-Firefly as a ATtiny85-based blinky light / "chewing-gum & duct-tape problem solver", that is also Digispark compatible.
We made the Star Controller 3-watt RGB LED kit as an easy way to tame bright and power-hungry LEDs.
We put them together with a 3-day power supply and diffusing container, add a 10% savings, and TaDAAAH: The Northern Lights Bundle! And it's well documented too!
What do you get in the bundle?
- 60140 SB-Firefly kit
- 60160 Star Controller RGB 3-watt LED kit
- 52242 2.1mm barrel jack/plug pair
- 17020 3AA battery holder
- 0.1µF Capacitor
- 8025 diffusion container
- Double-sided tape
- 5-conductor wire
Start with our instructions to build a mobile blinky-dome of doom (mount it on your bicycle helmet - everybody will see you coming), or modify it. The SB-Firefly is programmable with the Arduino programming enviroment (with a suitable in-circuit programmer), so you can use the remaining 2 available I/O pins to blend it into your project!

Solarbotics at Calgary Entertainment Exp...
Well, we survived the battlefield of 2014 Calgary Entertainment Expo with no human, animal or machinery losses (although with an apparent vocabulary shift towards geekery). In any case, running a double booth was a lot of fun and a lot of work, which makes it satisfying and tiring at the same time. And educating: we've […]
Supernova of Electronics
Here at Solarbotics, we like to celebrate things. And today we're remembering a supernova that took place in the Ophiuchus constellation and was observed by German astronomer Johannes Kepler back in 1604. That poor star, it was taken before its time. So to commemorate the memory of that star, (aptly named SN 1604, but we […]
Sumovore Modifications
We're starting to get feedback on Sumovore modifications by our customers. Like, turning the Sumovore into a Room-rover. Or 18V motor operation modifications. Or 'Kaoken' double-voltage adrenaline charges when pushing an opponent. All sorts of stuff! We'll start featuring these modifications shortly, but until then, you may want to take a look at our own […]
