The following instructions detail how to build a Solar Power Smart Head version 3. The Head will seek light and when it finds the brightest source it will go into a low current standby mode. This version also comes with an low power FLED circuit to indicate when the head is active.

We've got a pretty long lineup of new product waiting for their turn to be presented to you. First off, we are now carrying a large selection of protoboards from BusBoard, first 3 are right here, along with some other cool stuff:
|
BPS SB300 Solderable Breadboard (360 tie-points) $3.99 Want to move quickly from prototype to permanent project? Transfer your half-size breadboarded circuit to this tight pin for pin breadboard compatible protoboard to create a rugged long-lasting prototype! |
 |
BPS SB400 Solderable Breadboard (540 tie-points) $4.99 Want to move quickly from prototype to permanent project? Transfer your half-size breadboarded circuit to this complete pin for pin breadboard compatible protoboard to create a rugged long-lasting prototype! |
 |
BPS SB404 Solderable Breadboard (626 tie-points) $4.99 Want to move quickly from prototype to permanent project? Transfer your half-size breadboarded circuit to this convenient breadboard compatible protoboard (with mounting holes & silkscreening) to create a rugged long-lasting prototype! |
 |
The Mighty Mini Bundle $34.00 The Mighty Mini Bundle is basically an Arduino in its prime that has exercised... a lot! Not only is it skinny but it has the rated regulated power of 5 ordinary Arduinos (5 Amps) to back it up. |
 |
12V Dimmer Kit V2 $14.95 The 12V Dimmer Kit V2 by Dale Wheat is an efficient PWM contoller/dimmer for dimming LEDs or slowing Motors down manually up to 60W! |
And now to the braggin' time! The MakerFaire peoples decided that we demonstrated "great creativity, ingenuity ... innovation" and other general awesomeness, so we got this fancy blue Editor's Choice ribbon:
Aaaand that's it for our Friday post. Stay tuned for more next week!

That poor star, it was taken before its time. So to commemorate the memory of that star, (aptly named SN 1604, but we […]
Ardweeny!
Here's the Ardweeny - the smallest breadboard-friendly Arduino-compatible kit! Sorry it took almost a month to get this ready. The GVS-Shield took priority, and it is the holiday season. Kinda crazy here. The Ardweeny has proven to be quite handy in the shop where we've got several projects on the go. Plug in a 'weeny […]
