Ok, besides being a conjunction of two things we really love (Make Magazine & BEAM Robotics), it also is an open-source hardware project that is about little "T-Beams". This project is using the "KickStarter" model of sponsorship. Ask for pledges for the projects, and if the minimum is met (and it has - yay!), the […]
New stuff!
Dave Hrynkiw
December 5, 2009
Well folks, the BEAM Anniversary sale has officially come and gone. So many of you jumped on those awesome deals that we extended them an extra four days before taking them down. Anyways, we have tons of great stuff to get through, so let's plow through starting with the new stock we've brought in over the past two weeks:
And then we've gone ahead and broken down parts of the popular ARDX kit, so that you can get some of the items separately:
- ARDX Plastic Tool Case
- Half-Size Breadboard
- HXT900 Micro Servo
- 5 x AA Holder With 2.1mm Barrel Jack
- Oomlout ARDX Kit (No Arduino) - Already have an Arduino and cable? This kit will save you a few bucks off of the ARDX and set you up with all the other components.
In other news, we're stretching our tentacles out further into the world of the interwebs. The past few weeks we've set up both a Flickr and Facebook account. We're particularly interested about the former - Dave started off by adding some old BEAM pics we dusted off from the neglected corners of the server, 
and we're hoping to expand on that plus other content in the next little while. Stay tuned!
Lastly we want to welcome Roboteknia aboard as our newest distributor. Make sure to check them out if you're looking at getting some neat robotics tech in Mexico!

This is a pretty big undertaking, and as such you're going to need to tip toe around the construction tape and sawdust while we re-arrange everything. How will this effect you? First off, we're […]
Heartbleed & Solarbotics
As I imagine most of you out there have heard by now, there's a pretty serious vulnerability in the OpenSSL that was announced on April 7th called CVE-2014-0160, better known as Heartbleed. For those of you wondering what the heck this "Heartbleed" thing is, awhile back OpenSSL added a "heartbeat" feature which allowed servers and […]
GM2 Modifications
Our GM2 gearmotors are powerful, and just a bit slower than a standard servo, making them ideal for a walker. But for you folks who like wheeled robots, these are simply too slow. Solarbotics' own Grant McKee to the rescue! We barely had the motors opened 10 minutes before Grant figured out that these motors […]
Solarbotics has been operating for more than 25 years, bringing electronics know-how and supplies to both the electronics professional and hobbyist. We'll be happy to help you too!
