New Product: LED Strips
Solar botics
May 2, 2017
A brilliant selection of new smart LED strips with various features. They are addressable, white RGB, or full-color RGBW, available on spools or per meter to add blindingly bright effects to your project. Some so bright, we had to shoot them at 1/4 power to avoid freaking out the camera exposure.

5V RGB Addressable Serpentine Stripxel (48/M, 2.5M spool) 64.95 CAD / 49.95 USD This strip uses narrow 5mm construction using a little "S" bend between each LED, you can peel the backing and stick them down into actual curves that don't kink out. |

5V StripStar Addressable WHITE ONLY 144/M LED strip 79.95 CAD / 59.95 USD This strip allows you to pack a very dense, accurately controlled illumination strip into a project that lets you feature incredibly smooth, fast effects. |

3D Printed frame for Line Follower
Ohhh, we like 3D printers. We're working with the local Protospace to fund-raise for a Makerbot. I want to see one of these Line Follower chassis (especially as some of the parts look particularly familiar!). LOVE open source hardware!
BEP Application: Pummer
The following instructions detail how to build a simple pummer using a BC2 (Bicore) BEP (Bicore Experimenter PCB). A pummer is a solar powered self activating LED flasher. The difference between a pummer and a BLFNAR (blinky light for no apparent reason) is that a pummer has a soft turn off, which means that it turns on fast, but slowly fades away.
