The following instructions detail how to build a simple pummer using a BC2 (Bicore) BEP (Bicore Experimenter PCB). A pummer is a solar powered self activating LED flasher. The difference between a pummer and a BLFNAR (blinky light for no apparent reason) is that a pummer has a soft turn off, which means that it turns on fast, but slowly fades away.
Catalog glitches...

Grrr... Time to start handing out the 1000 lashes with a wet noodle. There's a few pricing errors in the new catalog 6:
- The RM2 motor is not 2 for $10.75/ea CDN - it's 1 for $3.40 or 2 for $2.85/ea CDN
- The SC2422 solar cell is not 2 for 2.55/ea USD - it's 2 for $3.25/ea USD
- The GM8 and GM9 gear motors are not $5.50/ea - they're $10.55/ea CDN
Sorry about the confusion, folks. I wish we could afford to honour the under-pricing and correct just the over-pricing, but we have a staff to feed and free community servers (www.solarbotics.net) to support!

Wednesday Cool Links, Announcements and ...

They've announced their winners, and the first place went to Elizabeth from Houston, Texas (age 11) (and we like unicorns too): Now that we have established our stance towards robotic (roboCorns) and regular unicorns (unicornus vulgaris), here's some links. They are just […]
Friday New Product: Grove Stuff
New today is the Grove series from SeeedStudio. What makes Grove different is that is very modular, making quick-prototyping quite rapid. Usually this is an expensive feature. The rule of thumb is "Price, Speed, Quality - pick any two", but Seeed has made the 3 curves match just right.
