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!).

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:

 |
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…
