Here's something to take a boo at a workshop by Tom Mair and a Grade-5 class. From his message to the BEAM mailing list: Last year I helped Mrs. Corbett's Grade 5 class build robots and we had a blast (see a review here http://www.aasland.com/hcrd.html). Well, this year we are doing it again. We're building […]
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.

GM15 Dual-Deal; Microcontrollers!
Ok, ok - we've been getting requests (no; more like demands) that we offer a bit of a deal for getting the GM15's in pairs. Alright then. How does $30USD or $40Cdn a pair strike you? Ok, now let's see some nano-sumo robots! "Wot's this? A microcontroller at Solarbotics??" Yup. The Atmel ATMega8L is part […]
Makin' (New) Connections
Well, it's been a riveting week. We did all sorts of exciting things, like definitely not riding a pallet jack down a flight of stairs and off a totally awesome jump. Nope, didn't happen at all. And just like how our tech's face didn't connect with the ground after the jump he didn't take, we […]
