Solarbotics CMDR (Compact Motor Driver Robot) ShieldLast 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 same time. Give 'er a look - we think this adds quite some punch to your Arduino for $28.95.






And if that doesn't quite do it for you, well, we have some other stuff for you today too:
