Jerome, our squiggly-bearded intern from many moons ago that created the BeetleBot, just pointed us towards this totally pimpin' pinewood derby car. The author from sliptonic.com shows how he made his sweet lowrider with hydaulic(esque) action by using a small micro-servo for each wheel, an Ardweeny for brains, and a 9V battery for power. The […]
New Products: Frequency Generator, DIRRS...
Solar botics
August 31, 2012
Hello again everyone, this is Yana, the token Russian here at Solarbotics that brought you a newspost a little while ago. Here's a hypothetical question: what if you were asked to do a product post, again? As if one graceful and unexpected appearance two weeks ago was not enough for the audience to cherish those lovely moments until, say, next year?! That seems to be a sufficient time period to produce some myths, legends, develop necessary rituals and other attributes of a well-developed cult around my wonderful presence… But noOoOo… So here are the results of backbreaking effort in the name of the proletariat exploiters that stand with the whip behind my back:
|
Frequency Generator Kit $49.95 Generate waves in your circle of friends with the FG805 Frequency Generator, & while it may not make you all that popular, your geek cred will rise a few hundred points! This affordable Freq. Gen. kit will give you Sine, Square, Triangular, Ramp & Staircase shaped waveforms from 0-100/200kHz. |

Solarbotics Pico Linear Servo Voltage Adapter Kit (5V to 3.6V) $1.00 Like some electronics, this linear motion Pico servo doesn't like running at over 5V. Even slightly less is better. This adapter board adds a bit of voltage drop to a 5/6V system to make your servo happy. |
So much work. I'm sooooo tired. I will now retreat for some refreshing and elaborate adoration, my pedestal awaits, thank you very much. See y'all in a week. Or seven… Yawn…

BEP Application: Bare Bones PhotoVore
We like to have some play time at Solarbotics, and the "Bare Bones Photovore" is the results of one of these play sessions. It's a very simple (amongst the simplest, we'll hazard to say) light-seeking solar-powered robot, and find it easy to build using the Bicore Experimenter's PCB.

Solar Pendulum of DOOOM blogged on MAKE

I just noticed on their blog that they're talking about our Solar Pendulum kit and Christopher […]
