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...

Usually when it comes time to do these find-a-witty-way-to-describe-why-we-won't-be-in-the-office-for-a-holiday posts, we like to ponder the deeper meanings of the universe while mixing in a healthy dose of the absurd with a side helping of (rather questionable) humour. But this time around, we have nothing. Remembrance Day is an important event, and we have nothing but […]

SCC3733 Solarcell hacking

Here's a tip submitted by Rick Steenblik regarding hacking our SCC3733 for less voltage, but more current: After using your SCC3733 solar cells for a couple of bots I noticed that they can be altered to provide about 3.3v at 80ma (in full sun) by cutting the bus connector on the back to electrically separate […]

We have a pretty darn big announcement for you today: we're now distributing Open Beam! It's a new handy-dandy construction system that got its start from Kickstarter, and is gaining a lot of immediate support. Right now, we're stocking all the items except for the kits, which we'll probably bring onboard in the near future. […]

Tom Gray's "SpringTail"

Just tripped over this link on the Yahoogroups BEAM mailing list. Nice looking walker - built using our BEP boards too!
