As I imagine most of you out there have heard by now, there's a pretty serious vulnerability in the OpenSSL that was announced on April 7th called CVE-2014-0160, better known as Heartbleed. For those of you wondering what the heck this "Heartbleed" thing is, awhile back OpenSSL added a "heartbeat" feature which allowed servers and […]
Friday New Product: FETs
Solar botics
July 11, 2014
What we have today are not Fairly Expensive Tortillas or Fortunately Edible Theremins, but Field-Effect Transistors. If you know what it is, I will leave you to explore:
|
1RFZ44N N-Channel FET $2.50 The IRFZ44N is a very powerful useful N-Channel FET, with only 0.0175ohms resistance pushing 20 amperes at 5V! |
 |
FQP27P06 P-Channel FET $0.95 A robust P-Channel FET that is capable of interfacing with most 5V-logic microcontrollers. |
 |
NDP6020P P-Channel FET, --2.5V gate, -20V, 24A max $1.95 An N-channel FET with an extremely low gate voltage which can be controlled by most 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. |
..and no, these are not even Forcibly Eccentric Tabbies.

Sumovore Brainboard - the PICAXE!
It's been a bit long in the coming, but it's finally here: The Sumovore PICAXE Brainboard for the Solarbotics Sumovore! One of the biggest tripping points we see from going from the pure digital/analog realm of BEAM to microcontrollers is learning the ins-and-outs of microcontrollers. The PICAXE nicely fills this void by offering a programming […]
