We've been having fun playing with the L293D driver chip. It's one of those things to see how much you can make it do by itself (like with any BEAM application!). Grant McKee has been experimenting with some simple additions to the chip to make it (unto itself) a suitable brain for a simple mini-sumo […]

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!

Arduino Extravaganza
Hm, now there's something that'd be difficult to say five times fast. You should've seen me try to type it - it was atrocious. But I digress - we have a big announcement to make. We've decided to bring our entire catalogue of Arduino/Freeduino products to Solarbotics. This covers the Boards Themselves, Parts Bundles, Shields, […]
First GM10 robot!
We gave Grant a bit of the afternoon to put together a demo robot using the GM10. What project? Ah, the venerable Herbie, of course! Construction details (and a big pic) are on the motor detail link. Oh, and there's a video too! Read More...
