It appears February 14th is almost upon us, and it's an event that holds emotional significance to the very fibre of our souls. So to celebrate GPS Day (or Oregon Day or Death of the First Cloned Mammal Day or First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire Day or Department of Commerce Day) we decided to share the joyous glory that is a PICAXE Starter Pack.

From all of us at Solarbotics/HVW Technologies, have a great February 14th!
