Hello, everyone! ... And without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, we present: THE BRUTUSBOT. /cue the fanfare of one thousand trumpets, a legion of marching drummers, seven tubas, and some guy named Donald busting out a wicked solo on a mandolin "Hark! What is this overwhelming contraption of might and thunderous presence?!", you must be […]
Holiday Shipping Dates, More Sales
Dave Hrynkiw
December 11, 2009
Well, we're already half-way through December and the days, snow, and cold temperatures keep rolling on. For those of you in need to get some last-minute shopping in before the holidays hit, you're in luck. For the next two weeks (until Dec 29th) we have two totally-awesome Arduino-type deals:
- Shieldpack (This promotion has ended. Better luck next time!) - Get four arduino shields (two SB Protoshields, one each of the new SB-GVS Shield and Wingshield Screwshield) for $40 - Save a cool 20% over buying them individually!
- ARDX w/ Free Ardweeny (This promotion has ended. Better luck next time!) - Buy a Arduino Experimenter's Kit and we'll throw in the new Ardweeny for free! (UPDATE: Wow - these are turning out to be so popular that we're running out of stock! We'll leave this one up for as long as we can, but once we're sold out, that's it!)
Wondering when you need to get those orders in? Well, if you want to receive your package before December 25th, you'll have to check out the following dates:
UPS Ground to the United States - Order on or before Wednesday, Dec 16th
UPS Express to the United States - Order on or before Tuesday, Dec 22nd
Purolator Ground to Canada - Order on or before Wednesday, Dec 16th
Purolator Express to Canada - Order on or before Wednesday, Dec 23rd
Purolator Express to Europe & Australia - Order on or before Wednesday, Dec 16th
Note that with crazy weather conditions and a super-busy postal system, it's probably a very good idea to put your order in sooner than later. We're filling packages and getting them out the door as fast as we can, but once it gets into the hands of the delivery folks, there ain't much else we can do!

Introducting the CMDR Shield for Arduino
Last week we beefed up the Ardweeny with the Multipack, and this week we're turning out attention to the Arduino. We've just released the CMDR (Compact Motor Driver) Shield, which lets you bi-directionally drive two gear motors or a single stepper motor, read 6 analog sensors, and control up to 8 servos all at the […]
