0.71mm 6-Tooth Pinion
Harold Ilano built this SW2.2 / VBug inspired 5 motor walker named "Tank", and just recently announced it on the BEAM mailing list. It's a very effective and quick device - nicely done, and well worth a look-see. It still impresses me what we can do without a microcontroller...
Didel Gears, LilyPad

August 21, 2009
Alriiiight. This week we've got a small handful of new plastic pinions (not to be confused with plastic onions) from Didel. These little units are great for sliding onto pager motors and mating to other gears.
And, as promised last week, we've got more Arduino-type-stuff for you to check out. These week we've populated the LilyPad category with eight items. As worded by the official description, "LilyPad is a wearable technology developed by Leah Buechley and cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. Each LilyPad was creatively designed to have large connecting pads to allow them to be sewn into clothing. Various input, output, power, and sensor boards are available. They're even washable!". Neat stuff! Check out our selection below:
- LilyPad Arduino Main Board
- LilyPad Buzzer
- LilyPad Button Board
- LilyPad Tri-Color LED
- LilyPad XBee
- LilyPad Power Supply
- LilyPad LiPower
- LilyPad Light Sensor
Well, that about sums it up for another week. I'd just like to take this opportunity on behalf of all the staff at Solarbotics to bid farewell to Mary. She's been a fantastic getter-of-things-done (official title: Office Elf, Third Class (Promotion Pending)) and a joy to work with. We wish her all the best with that education/school thing that seems to be all the rage with kids these days. Good luck Mary, you'll be missed!

Mark Tilden's 600 foot workbench
Well, it's more like a workbench 600 feet in the air. In his apartment. In Hong Kong. Nice view... Dig around the large image to see what cool stuff you can pick out. Gareth @ Make Magazine (where it was first posted last week) already found a "teacup Stirling Engine" at 10 o'clock (near the […]
Maker Faire Calgary TOMORROW!
Hey! Are you in Calgary? Are you near Calgary? Is your name Calgary? If you answered yes to any of the first two questions (but not the third one - that's just plain weird), then you might be interested in hearing about the Mini Maker Faire that's happening here in the city tomorrow. From 10am […]
