It's been a while since we've had this kit online, but due to some diligence we've found materials to update and re-issue it! Using the licensed "MillerEngine" (which we find to be a substantial improvement over the old Solarengine), we've changed the kit with a new black circuit board and updated documentation.

Bicore Experimenter's PCB/Bundles
Dave Hrynkiw
December 3, 2001
Sorry for the delay in announcements, folks! Been quite busy getting these latest devices ready for sale.
The latest addition to the Solarbotics family of products is the Bicore Experimenter's PCB (aka:) BEP. This is a collection of useful, proven circuits that have been used by Solarbotics, and many other users of Mark Tilden's Bicore technology. We've gone through great pains to make sure these boards are proven error-free (3 revisions were tested, so please don't find any problems now!), so you should be able to take a module, put in the components, power it up, and it should work as required by your design.
Demand for these modules has been quite high, so we've released them with a practically complete set of documentation (the MSE1 module still needs some value tables generated), and application notes are still being generated. The information included is sure to get you well on your way to building your own BEAM devices.
In addition to making these very useful raw PCB modules available, we're also introducing them with an optional Bicore Experimenter's PCB Bundle which contains practically all you need to make these modules functional. It's a BIG savings over ordering the resistors, capacitors, chips, etc individually. And if that's not complete enough for you, we've also listed (not included) more parts to round out your collection for actually building robots with the bundle.

With all the interest with Wilf's "Power Smart Head", we thought it'd be an ideal project to mount on our Bicore Experimenter's PCB. To make the project work, we're even stocking the 74HC240! Check it out under the "Special Projects" link, or click here.

Help! It's getting colder outside and the trees are starting to shed all over everything. It's quite a mess. It's pretty, but a mess all the same. So we did what anyone would do in such circumstances - we made a small DIY tank platform wirelessly controllable, released a new breakout board, and put together […]
New Kit!The Hex Pummer
View our newest kit we have online, the Hex Pummer, a very amusing night display that is charged by the sun. When the lights go out, it triggers the high intensity LEDs to start flashing on and off. They start out very STRONG and then fade away until the next LED "PUMMS" on. These amusing […]
