With our recent experiences with the costuming and cosplay communities, we've learned a lot about new materials that cosplayers use for making masks, props and armour. That added a few new words to our vocabulary and awesome new items to our inventory. First, Fosshape. It is a felt-like polyester fabric that can be stretched and […]
Turkey Time! (and new product too)
Dave Hrynkiw
October 9, 2009
Woohoo! It's early October, and that means it's TURKEY TIME for us Canadians! We know, Americans have their Thanksgiving in November, but it's so cold here already that it might as well be November. So to celebrate we're releasing the following items:
- Make: The Fourth Year Collector's Box Set
- Breadboard Jumper Wire Bundle
- LilyPad Slide Switch
- ScrewShield for Arduino
- 74HC595 8-Bit Serial to Serial/Parallel IC
We just want to point out that the Breadboard Jumper Wires are pretty neat - for $6 USD you get 75 pieces of wire of various lengths and colours. It makes prototyping so much easier.
Anyways, with Thanksgiving being a holiday Solarbotics and HVW Tech will be closed on Monday, October 12th. Standard rules apply - submit orders, send emails, etc. We'll respond to any messages and resume processing/shipping orders on Tuesday. So to all of our Canadian Comrades, have a great Thanksgiving! And to all of our American Amigos, Happy Columbus Day!

BEP Application: Turbot
The Turbot is a member of the Scophthalmidae family of flatfish and is almost completely circular. Turbot is often found partially buried in the seabed in sand, gravel, rocks and sediment. Its fat content varies, but it usually contains roughly 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids per 100g fillet. Barring advances in genetic engineering, we will not be building that kind of Turbot. However, this kind of Turbot can be built with a soldering iron.
