Monday February 17 is Family Day in Alberta (where we are), and President's day in the USA. So we're going to be out playing in the snow today. See you tomorrow!
Friday New Product: BusBoard ProtoBoards
Solar botics
July 19, 2013
We've been working hard to bring you a conundrum* of new protoboards and other handy items to go with them (*conundrum - a collective noun used to describe massive amounts of protoboards inhabiting our shelves). This issue of Friday new products features roughly half of the whole selection we offer, which can cover pretty much any projects you decide to do. Can cover, you guessed it, with boards:
|
SB830 Solderable PC BreadBoard (single-panel compatible) $6.50 BusBoard makes lots of great prototyping PCBs. Here's a convenient one that matches a regular 1-panel PC breadboard, with handy top-print overlay, and thinner interconnections for friendly track cutting. |
 |
SB1660 Solderable PC BreadBoard, Double-sized $12.00 BusBoard makes lots of great prototyping PCBs. Here's a convenient one that matches a double-wide PC breadboard. |
 |
BR1 Solderable PC BreadBoard (single-panel compatible) $6.50 BusBoard makes lots of great prototyping PCBs. Here's a convenient one that matches a regular 1-panel PC breadboard. |
 |
BB-2 Zig-zag solder prototyping board, 80x100mm $5.66 Zig-zag patterns on this single-sided prototyping board makes it particularly convenient to solder your circuit down into something permanent. |
 |
PadBoard-3U Protoboard, Pad-per-Hole, 160x100mm $5.66 For the ultimate in protoboard flexibility, here's a one-pad-per-hole, plated-through, double-sided board from BPS. |
 |
PowerBoard-3U, 6-hole strip Solder protoboard $10.78 This traditional soldering protoboard is very similar to a solderless breadboard, but has a monster set of power distribution rails running through it. It also accommodates a 96-pin VME backplane connector for slotting connectivity. |
 |
ProtoBoard2H-2, 2-hole Strips, 100x80mm solder Protoboard $5.66 Long strips of copper too much for you? Complex zig-zags drive you nuts? Here's a nice compromise - solder prototyping with pairs of connected pads. |
 |
ST2 StripBoard solder protoboard $5.66 It doesn't get more standard than a large, traditional stripboard for soldering your experiments! |
 |
SMTpads-Size3U-Thin 50x50mil Pads Protoboard for SMT $12.99 SMD parts are becoming easier to find than old "finger-friendly" ones. Have some of these SMT pad-compatible breakout boards for your next tiny project. |
 |
SMTpads-Size3U, 200x100mil Pads Protoboard for SMT $12.99 SMD parts are becoming easier to find than old "finger-friendly" ones. Have some of these SMT pad-compatible breakout boards for your next tiny project. |
 |
ProtoBox-1593K-BK Protoboard and Case Kit $7.23 Got the circuit breadboarded, tested, and ready for field-testing. Ummm... sure would be nice to build that onto a nice protoboard and case shell wouldn't it? |
 |
PCB Mounting Adhesive Standoffs 8-Pack $2.75 If you need to tuck a circuit board someplace and you can't fit a screw, use these handy low-profile, self-adhesive PCB standoffs |
Well, if you were trying to make a telescopic toothpick-shooting badger model, our protoboards might not prove helpful, but even then! Give it a try, you never know...

Vibebots for fun
We do some stuff around the office just for fun once-in-a-while. One of these projects resulted in this set of Vibebots, built by Grant McKee. Simple, a bit noisy, but FUN!

This is Gareth Branwyn's latest book on robotics. Why should you care? Well, our own Dave Hrynkiw (dat be me) was honoured with the task of tech-editting it. It's a fun read, with some BEAM and not-so-BEAM projects, so if you're a raw newbie to robotics, this belongs on your bookshelf next to "Junkbots, Bugbots […]

Look! Bird (-shaped bullets) made holes in bird... feathers! Well, not quite, although that would have been awesome too. Actually we were doing some nitrogen-assisted laser tests on various regular, i.e. boring materials, such as plywood and mat board. Then I came across some feathers and here's what it turned out to be: Now that […]
