We're still undergoing website bug-stomping. You may have noticed some changed news items and the like. One of the edits crashed the page, so we had to reload an older backup.

The SCPD photodiodes are now officially sold out! KaPUT! Gone! Until we can find a reasonably priced replacement, we won't be restocking these items in the near future. If you want to hunt them down yourself, they're a Seimens (now "Infineon") BPW-43 Photodiode.

We are temperorarily out of the SC2433 solarcell until November 8th. We expected them earlier, but it takes a while for a boat to float all the way from Japan to out here near the Rocky Mountains!

Solarbotics also just recently had our own website security certificate installed. No more sharing our ISP's - we now have a very secure interface page on our orderform. Not that the previous one wasn't secure, but it was a bit confusing to be routed to "fp2.cadvision.com/skip" whenever a call was made to the secure orderform.

Project: LED Earrings

The idea of adorning oneself with glowing bits has been around forever, but instead of smearing ourselves with phosphorescent jellyfish or placing fireflies in ears like some uncivilized cavemen we went for simple LED earrings. We made a build that involves a simple slow-scroll RGB LED and a few reflective bits to bounce that pretty […]
