Just a quick note to say that we have survived MakeFashion, with (hopefully) positive outcomes, and if you haven't attended, the highlights of the show are available on our Flickr photostream.
Well, the last batch of Escap gearmotors went very fast. Let's hope this batch lasts a bit longer!
Unlike the last set, this set has a higher reduction ratio of 663:1 instead of 362:1. This means it starts turning 0.46V (!) drawing only 3.3mA (!!)
It's a 3V rated motor, but our tests show that they spin quite nicely at 5V, drawing 4.2mA free (!!!) at 22rpm. Don't know what the stall current draw is, as we're scared to strip these delicate gears, but it's greater than 150mA. Check them out!

These new Baby "Helios" Turbots by Grant McKee are an experiment to see how much can be done Turbot-wise with a single motor.

Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving up here in the Great White North, so we'll not be open October 14. Business as usual on the 15th!
