Neil Sandstrom from the BEAM mailing list recently posted a notice about his "ShokHead" circuit built from our tutorial. What makes this project a bit different is that he mounted it on a VPM motor, so it's all self-contained. Here's what he says about it: Just finished!!! Check it out it is really small!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beam/files/Psyclesam/ […]
New Product Friday: Protoboards, Mighty ...
Solar botics
June 14, 2013
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!

Circuit: Herbie by Randy Sargent
Although not a true BEAM robot, this simple schematic by Randy Sargent is small, simple, slick, and effective. My own version uses a pair of pager motors and three cells from a 9V rechargeable battery. Hard to get any simpler than this device!
