EZ-B Sale, More New Stuff

Well, we waited. Patiently you might say. After all, this Friday post is coming to you on a Saturday afternoon. But we still didn't receive any customer projects to show off. We don't ask much. Send us a photo. Maybe a handful of words to accompany it. But noooOooOooOOOoo. Now here we are, already part way through the weekend, with nothing. So you leave us with no choice. We're putting the EZ-B Robot Controller on sale by $20, just so that there's something interesting going on.

It's actually a pretty neat device, that uses your PC via Bluetooth to do most of the heavy work. Because it uses your computer, it's pretty powerful and uses pretty intuitive software that makes controller robots pretty straight forward.Anyways. We have a bit of good news - we've finally filled our purchaser position! I'm sure you're wondering why you should care, but what it means is this: We're going to have better control of our inventory (meaning less stuff sold out/back ordered), and there's more new stuff coming in. That list of shiny items was whittling down, but now it's starting to fill back up. Here's what we have this week:
Port Expander Shield PWM ShieldMicroSD Card Adapter
Gravitech Serial Character LCD Driver Board Kit (Non-USB)Green LED w/ Flexible Leads3.3V Regulator TO-92 Pkg

  • Port Expander Shield - Allows you to easily add more digital outputs to your Arduino
  • PWM Shield - Will fit on any board that is pin compatible with an Arduino Duemilanove.
  • BNC Shield - Allows you to hookup any sensor that has a BNC connector.
  • MicroSD Card Adapter - Perfect for mass storage, WAV/MP3 player and data logging, breaking out the MicroSD socket to a standard 0.1" 8-pin header.
  • Serial Character LCD Driver Board Kit - Designed base on a popular serial LCD driver IC, created by Maryland EE professor Peter Anderson.
  • Green LEDs w/ Flexible Leads - These consist of a bright LED and flexible twisted lead wires that have a 2 slot female connector on the end (which can be removed).
  • 3.3V Regulator TO-92 Pkg - This regulator can handle up to a 20V input, and a 250 mA output.
  • 3.3V Regulator TO-220 Pkg - A 30V input, 1.5A output, and a delicious chocolate coating. No wait, I'm pretty sure that last bit is wrong.

...aaaaand that's it. I know Calgary is lookin' pretty good this weekend, so we hope everyone can get outside and enjoy the summer, if the weather allows. Take care!

New Items!

Besides introducing a whole new batch of Push-Pogopins (and their measurements) into the 'misc' category, we've just introduced our 'D2' Germanium Diode. This diode is pretty good - better than the 1N270 and 1N34 types, with a voltage dropout of only 0.36V at 50mA! We're not exactly sure what type it is, but since we […]

Introducting the CMDR Shield for Arduino

We've just released the CMDR (Compact Motor Driver) Shield, which lets you bi-directionally drive two gear motors or a single stepper motor, read 6 analog sensors, and control up to 8 servos all at the […]

Telephone Troubles...

In anticipation of our move to a new facility in a week or so, we've been getting the telephone company to tweak up our accounts. Which they've promptly managed to bung up nicely. If you're trying to get ahold of us and are getting "This number is not in service...", hang tough - all should […]

Friday New Product: All the Books!

After we have survived recent natural disasters like floods and thunderstorms, mosquitoes are another disaster that needs elimination. I don’t like mosquitoes. They are evil vampires lurking in the dark. Flies on the other hand are jovial and rich in protein. Cats usually specialize in them. But cats don’t tackle mosquitoes very well.. . I […]
