Well, Solarbotics went to "Neeewwww Yorrrrk City" to the Toy Fair, and met up with Mark Tilden. He was kind enough to give us an exclusive interview / demonstration of the production-level version of the Robosapien. See the four videos at solarbotics.net! Update: The link got slashdotted, so we're pretty heavy on our bandwidth bills […]
Arduino Duemilanove, USB Cable
Dave Hrynkiw
May 13, 2009
WHAT'S ALL THIS, WHAT'S ALL THIS?! Step in Time! That's right - we're following up our special edition Evening News Post with a special edition Mid-Week News Post. We gotta keep you folks on your toes somehow.
Actually, the real reason we're coming to you on this dusty Wednesday afternoon is that we have a pretty nifty announcement. We're now official distributors of Arduino! Wooooo! While our good ol' sister site HVW Tech will be carrying most of the new toys, we're going to make sure at least a few of the fun things make it over this way. Don't believe us? Here you go, we just received a shipment of the new USB boards, the Arduino Duemilanove (or as I like to call it, the Arduino Da-hooey-hooey-hooey). It's actually pronounced something along the lines of 'Do-ay-mill-ah-noh-vah'. But don't quote me on that. Anyways, onto the juicy details:
Microcontroller: ATmega168
Operating Voltage: 5V
Input Voltage (recommended): 7-12V
Input Voltage (limits): 6-20V
Digital I/O Pins: 14 (of which 6 provide PWM output)
Analog Input Pins: 6
DC Current per I/O Pin: 40 mA
DC Current for 3.3V Pin: 50 mA
Flash Memory: 16 KB (ATmega168) or 32 KB (ATmega328) of which 2 KB used by bootloader
SRAM: 1 KB (ATmega168) or 2 KB (ATmega328)
EEPROM: 512 bytes (ATmega168) or 1 KB (ATmega328)
Clock Speed: 16 MHz
"Chris! You MORON!", you scream at your computer screen, "This stupendous device is rather useless without some way of connecting to it!"
And you would be absolutely right. That's why we've just made available a trusty 6-foot USB A to B cable for all your USB A to B connection needs. See? We got you covered.

Project Mon(Tues)day: Pinewood Lowrider
Jerome, our squiggly-bearded intern from many moons ago that created the BeetleBot, just pointed us towards this totally pimpin' pinewood derby car. The author from sliptonic.com shows how he made his sweet lowrider with hydaulic(esque) action by using a small micro-servo for each wheel, an Ardweeny for brains, and a 9V battery for power. The […]
New Product, Closed for Good Friday
Fun fact: Tomorrow is Good Friday. By default, that means for the other 51 weeks of the year we experience Bad Fridays. We're not quite sure what exactly makes them so undesirable per se, but because the chance to celebrate a Good Friday comes around so infrequently, we've got to act on it, dangit. So […]
