Geek Engineers wanted

With the departure of our two interns, we're finding that we miss them. Damn them and their desire to complete their education...

Since they left, we're finding we have too many projects and not enough hands to get them done. Got  some/any of the following qualifications?

  • Practical experience with sensors
  • Experience with 8-bit embedded computing (AVR, PIC 12/16F series).
  • PCB CAD experience (we use Altium Summer '09)
  • Robot-building skills
  • Grok open-source hardware, MAKE and Arduino
  • Live in/near Calgary, Alberta Canada?

You have to have some practical bench skills. I.e.: Can you program a "hello world" LED blinker onto a 12F675 at our workbench?

Drop us a line as jobs@solarbotics.com

My marketing team has been throwing (ouch!) erasers at me (ouch!)until I get this put online: Not sure if you should build or read this winter season? Combine the two! Get the "Junkbots" book and a HexPummer, Pendulum, or SolarSpeeder kit at a combined price that saves you money! (See below in "Featured Items")

We're trying to isolate a problem we're hearing about, but cannot reproduce, especially with the final "submit" button. A copy/paste of the error message to us would be greatly appreciated...

Ardweeny BackPack - Red and Blue!

Finally got them through the Pick and Place machine, tested, and ready to go. Check out the blue and green versions! (We're still kicking around a VU-type Greeeeen/Yel/RED version too. What do you think?) By the way, we've got some pretty decent sample code on how to use your Ardweeny Backpack (and thusly, any Arduino-compatible) […]
