 |
Grove - I2C Touch Sensor $19.38 This advanced Grove sensor breaks out into 4 touch sensor pads for finger proximity detection. |

Grove - Light Sensor $3.78 Inexpensive and well designed, it's handy for general light intensity measurements. |

We like to have some play time at Solarbotics, and the "Bare Bones Photovore" is the results of one of these play sessions. It's a very simple (amongst the simplest, we'll hazard to say) light-seeking solar-powered robot, and find it easy to build using the Bicore Experimenter's PCB.
New BEP Application 2
We've got a new BEP application ready for you users of the Bicore Experimenters' PCB: The two motor Servocore Walker! Use two unmodified servos to set endstop and duration characteristics, slave them like regular bicores, add an IMx reverser, and you're trotting along!
