The whole 'duino thing is just so much to say, we've got to do it three times. Blame Jerome, our intern...

We've got Freeduino version 2.2 back from the assembly line today, and all tests out beeeautifully! New features include an SMD-mounted 16MHz crystal, better power-consumption circuit routing (for battery-operated projects), and "hacking pads" for using the FTDI "Bit-Bang" method of burning bootloaders (instructions in the manual).

It's 100% Arduino-compatible, made in Canada, and back in stock!

But the new VPM2 has wires prebonded to the motor, and it's slightly smaller too! We welcome our new vibrating disk motor […]

Solarbotics WCRG mini-sumo workshop

The night before WCRG, and all through the office, not a creature was stirring...except two dozen mini-sumo robots - AAAHH! Thanks to Alberta Printed Circuits, we were able to sponsor a mini-sumo workshop to build 24 robots to compete in the next day's Western Canadian Robot Games.
