Time for a big product update! Again, we're thrilled with the Grove line of microcontroller-interconnected thingies, so heres a few more Grove-compatibles, SD cards, and a lonesome piezo speaker:
Grove - Encoder $6.36 This grove unit is a simple way to add a rotation input device to your project. |
|
Grove - PIR Motion Sensor $11.52 The Grove PIR sensor is specifically tuned to detect the moving heat signatures of human bodies. |
|
Grove - Tilt Switch $2.46 Super simple - it's a ball in a tube that plugs into the Grove system to detect tilt. |
|
Grove - LED Bar $5.04 Another nice visual indicator for the Grove system, with a 10 segment display. |

We've tweaked the documentation for the BEP-MSE1 "Miller Solarengine" to correct a minor error (if you wanted to use the MVSE modification, this is the correct on), and added some circuit specs. Application notes for all the modules are in the works- stay tuned!
We missed last week's Cool Links, so we'll empty our backlog and throw a few extras your way. 1-Bit Symphony This whole album is chiptunes all done on a microcontroller and placed in a CD case. The album/cover art is actually what makes the music. Ted Talk - Massimo Banzi: How Arduino is open-sourcing imagination […]
Although according to some sources Canadians in general (and Solarbotics in particular) have long since gone into hibernation, some autonomous robots (or Russians) are still purchasing new product and producing content, through some coincidence of stray electric impulses. Among the wandering flickering lights of deserted offices, with Canadians gently tucked away in the corners and […]
