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! |

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!

Hakko FA-400 Smoke Absorber
It's cool. Well, not quite. But it's smoking. Umm, that's not right, either. It's anti-smoking. Whoever redesigned their 493 smoke absorber did a pretty good job - it's much better than it was before! And Hakko even posted a cool video showing how good it is (sorry, can't embed the video here).
Interesting stuff at the Exploratorium
Not exactly relevant to BEAM, but an interesting distraction: Here's some interesting media from the San Francisco Exploratorium. Notable media to watch is their "Iron Science Teacher" competition (familiar with "The Iron Chef? Same idea...), and their hosting of Robot Sumo Wrestling.
Vancouver BEAM Workshop
Here's a few links to a workshop spear-headed by ScottyDogma in Vancouver, B.C. Some impressive work done using servos, BIOBug motors, some wooden spacer blocks and lots of soldering! Nice job, guys.
