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!

Synapse RF200PF1 with F-type Antenna

XBee is good; Synapse is just better. More I/O, embedded python, and generally better range at comparable cost! 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.
