You know how I said we'd have new and exciting stuff to show off this week? That isn't quite the case. It's just been one of those weeks, and we don't have anything ready to go for you. But I can say this - we'll be opening up pre-orders for our brand spankin' new Oomlout […]
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.

Although he has purchased from us, and used our products (the "Secret Motor Driver") in his prize-winning minisumo "Stinger", we, as Solarbotics officially declare Mr. Hylands only "marginal" friend. You see, Solarbotics sent a few of our robots to the University of Northern Idaho's mail-in minisumo contest, and again he's served our own tuckus back […]
GD-2 Thermal Paste
Some of our favorite vendors reduced their offerings in thermal paste, so we searched out replacement inventory. We came across GD-2 being reviewed as a cost-effective alternative to more premium thermal pastes. So we've brought in some stock in 1, 7 and 15gram volumes. At 7.5W/MK, it's almost twice as effective as our budget thermal […]

Electronic things come in all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of different appendages. This week we have a few itty-bitty components that have legs/leads. They're like bugs, except made of metal. And, you know, completely inanimate. (Inanimate bugs? Those are the best kind...) LM1084 5V 5A LDO Voltage Regulator $3.94 The LM1084IT-5.0 is a […]
