We have a pretty darn big announcement for you today: we're now distributing Open Beam! It's a new handy-dandy construction system that got its start from Kickstarter, and is gaining a lot of immediate support. Right now, we're stocking all the items except for the kits, which we'll probably bring onboard in the near future. We've put all our stock into a convenient Open Beam Category, but you can also see all of the new stock here:
|

 |

But wait, THAT'S NOT ALL! We also have a few other items that we brought in this week, and we'd like to show 'em off so they don't get left behind in the cold.
 |
PICAXE-28X2 Shield Base (Assembled) $24.00 The PICAXE-28X2 shield base has been designed to be compatible with almost all 'shield modules' as used with the Arduino system. This a very affordable project board for PICAXE development! |

This particular module is 2.4GHz with OTA (Over-The-Air) speeds up to 2Mbps, maximum 2.5miles (~4km) range and a F-type PCB for compact installation. |
Well folks, that's all we gots. Go forth, drool over the fancy new Open Beam goodness, and above all else, enjoy the last wonderful weekend of August.
