Neil Sandstrom from the BEAM mailing list recently posted a notice about his "ShokHead" circuit built from our tutorial. What makes this project a bit different is that he mounted it on a VPM motor, so it's all self-contained. Here's what he says about it: Just finished!!! Check it out it is really small!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beam/files/Psyclesam/ […]

Remember the other week when we mentioned how the Arduino Parts category was looking rather thin? Well, we've gone ahead and fattened it up a bit with the following new items:
You might be wondering what the heck does a power jack have to do with Arduino? Well, that's actually the same unit we use to deliver power to the Freeduino SB.

Hey, check it out - there's a Round II of the weekly New Product Showdown! Ding ding!
That's right, it may be the end of summer and it's rapidly getting colder and darker but WE'VE GOT A NEW SOLAR CELL! It's a pretty small unit too, great for compact projects. Like powering a certain red LED to light-up a transparent breadboard. Ok, that might be pushing it. And yet a lit up breadboard sure would look sexy...

New Pogo Push Probes in stock
I can't imagine why, but some people want to use these push pogo pins for other uses than robot appendages. Or battery contacts. Apparently they're really good for something called "JTAG applications" too, but I'll leave that up to you to decide. Scroll down to see them listed in the "New Items" column.
