Besides introducing a whole new batch of Push-Pogopins (and their measurements) into the 'misc' category, we've just introduced our 'D2' Germanium Diode. This diode is pretty good - better than the 1N270 and 1N34 types, with a voltage dropout of only 0.36V at 50mA! We're not exactly sure what type it is, but since we […]
PICAXE Experimenter's Kit on sale!

April 3, 2009
Well, we're disappointed. Not a single one of you fell for our Pimp Your Sumo April Fool's joke. Which is too bad, really, because we were actually ready to send them out to anyone that wanted one. Oh well, too late now!
But don't fret if you missed out - we have a special treat for you! The PCAXE Experimenter's Kit (both serial and USB versions) are on sale. Hurray! If you get it now you'll receive 5% off the standard retail price. But you better nab 'em quick - they're about to be discontinued. Once they're gone, they won't be coming back! And trust us, this one ain't no joke.
So that's all from the gang at Solarbotics for the week - we hope everyone's enjoying the start of April! (Even if it's still below freezing at night, the sky is grey, and there's snow in the forecast. Isn't spring great?)

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. If you didn't already know, Solarbotics has been moving offices, and it's taken a surprising amount of effort to get everbody/thing moved and settled. Beyond that, I've found some time to websurf...just a bit! A GM15 linefollower? Neat!(Update!:)He's just posted a video of it going ~40cm/s (although he's […]
