Courier Shipping Services Broken
Dave Hrynkiw
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.

Tech Tip: Micro Terminal Blocks
We use many, many devices with 0.1" spaced holes, which are pretty much an electronics design standard. We're finding these 0.1" space terminal blocks incredibly useful for making solid, secure, yet serviceable connections to the rest of our designs. We'll often reach for a microcontroller board, then reach for a necessary handful of these parts […]
