Friday New Product: Different Things and...

Solar botics
August 2, 2013

Winter is not quite here yet. But close. It’s the second day of the last day of summer in 2013 today, according to the calendar at least. So lets prepare to that early by making sure all the new products are looked at. Now, how that makes sense? I am not sure. This was just to get your attention.

Adafruit Assembled Data Logging shield for Arduino
$19.95
The engineers at Adafruit have come up with a nice little datalogger shield, this time (mostly) assembled!
Arduino Robot Bonanza by Gordon McComb
$32.95
Gordon McComb keeps churning out useful books, this time adapting his Robot Bonanza to use the Arduino.
Hacking Electronics: An Illustrated DIY Guide for Makers
$33.95
Simon Monk writes another useful book about getting right into hacking electronics. Great for impatient builders!
JST RCY Male & Female 17cm Power Cable Set
$1.00
Small and tidy, high power JST RCY / BEC battery plugs, 17cm (6.7") male/female set.
SLVR-1 Power Supply
$15.00
It's a handy power-breakout, featuring barrel-jack input, and multiple 5V regulated, unregulated, and USB-compatible power taps.

Oh, and one more thing, fellow civilians, or non-fellow civilians from other places. On Monday August 5th we are celebrating something plainly called Civic Holiday. Apparently all the other holidays are therefore deemed non-civic, except for this one. For that reason Solarbotics will be closed, and all the emails, phone messages and orders will receive all the due attention they need the next day.

Absolute Beginner's Guide to Building Ro...

We've been getting requests for the parts bundles as mentioned in Gareth Branwyn's book 'Absolute Beginner's Guide to Building Robots'. We're sorry to say that we don't have them ready yet (major website development takes up staff man-hours), so please bear with us - we're working towards having something together. And no, we don't have […]

Ice Cream, ArdJet and (New) Stuff

Well, it certainly has been a busy week! Particularly for our pals over at SparkFun, who just wrapped up their third annual Free Day. This is quickly becoming a favourite spectator sport around the office, as every year we tune in to watch the available money evaporate and/or their website/servers die a horrible, horrible death.

Not Your Average Door Bell

Wireless doorbells have a tendency to... suck. I speak from personal experience on such matters. When they fail to get my attention while at home, apathy generally wins out and inevitably forces me to head down to the FedEx/UPS depot to pick up my missed package. David Watson, a man of action, took matters into […]
