Alriiiiight. We've teased at it off and on for the past little while, but it's official - Solarbotics now carries sensors! Right now we've just added a big fist-full of distance / proximity sensors (17 items in total!), and a couple accessories. Stay tuned - we'll be adding more to these categories as well as […]
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...

New Solar Cell!
As Panasonic is no longer manufacturing their line of Sunceram solar cells, we've been on the hunt for suitable replacements. Here's our first find - the SCC3733! It's a polycrystaline cell in an epoxy casing, so it's a bit heavier, but much, much less prone to breaking or burning off of the solder-pads. It's also […]
Solarbotics Antweight
Adam Conus sent us a nice little message about his antweight combat robot The Fly.: Western Allied Robotics is kicking off another year of antweight combat events and I need new motors. (Because I'm very, very hard on them!) Still, they're cheap and light. Check out- http://home.comcast.net/~conusa/adam.htm to see the robot complete with solarbotics sticker!
Project: LED Earrings
The idea of adorning oneself with glowing bits has been around forever, but instead of smearing ourselves with phosphorescent jellyfish or placing fireflies in ears like some uncivilized cavemen we went for simple LED earrings. We made a build that involves a simple slow-scroll RGB LED and a few reflective bits to bounce that pretty […]
