Introducting the CMDR Shield for Arduino
Dave Hrynkiw
July 13, 2012
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 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:
 |

And in other news, those crafty folks over at ThinkGeek have started carrying the Useless Box, which is turning into quite a big deal on this big ol' internet thing. Who'da thunk?
