Unlike Sparkfun, who actually manage to find fake Atmel ICs, we just get strange batches. The Atmel ATMega328 is the power behind the Arduino/Freeduino/*duino, and we have to set up a programming system to burn the venerable Arduino Bootloader into these chips. We normally use an AVR STK500 in HVSP (high voltage serial programming) mode, […]
Courier Shipping Services Broken

April 12, 2019
Purolator is one of our more popular couriers, and they've recently rolled out an update that we thought wasn't going to affect our website.
Guess what? Why yes; yes it has. And on a Friday afternoon, we are unable to get anybody on their end to help us pin down the error location. That's not their fault that they want to go home for the weekend, but it does leave our IT crew in a bit of a quandary how to fix this in the meanwhile. It looks like we may be unable to offer courier shipping until Monday.
If you desire courier shipping, please select a standard method, notify us to this effect in the comments section, and we'll try to get figure out the shipping quote ASAP, contact you, and get it processed out with Monday's orders.
Sincerest apologies,
The Solarbotics IT team.

Small batteries!
We've come across a variety of small batteries that are splendid for the small types of robots we're used to building!

Check them out in the "New Items" link under "Products", […]

It's almost like enlightenment. And then it will suitable […]
