Well folks, it's that magical time where we give you some special insight into what's new n' happenin' in the world of Solarbotics. We'll start off by sending our congrats to everyone who participated in the recent Make:KW Arduino 201 meetup. We were proud to sponsor the event by donating some L298 Compact Motor Driver […]
PICAXE Project Boards
Dave Hrynkiw
February 27, 2009
For the past few months we've had bundles for many of the PICAXE project boards. They come with cables and a battery holder, and are generally what you need if you're getting started in this kind of stuff for the first time. But what if you already have all those fun appetizers on the side, and you just need the meat and potatoes? We're now offering the project boards on their own in the following flavours:
Mind you, I'm not sure you'd want flavoured meat and/or potatoes. I mean sure - a lil' dill here and some oregano there is one thing. But raspberry meat with caramel potatoes? No thanks. On the other hand though, if we were to coat carrots in chocolate maybe we could get Dave, our president and fearless leader, to eat his vegetables.
Wait, I'm not done yet! You thought that was it? There's one more thing - an after-dinner treat if you will. Perhaps something like a slice of pork-flavoured cheese cake.
...
Are you ready?
18-PIN DIP CARRIERS! WOOOHOO!
*ahem* It's kinda hard to get really excited by those, but they're still pretty useful nonetheless.
Anyways forks, have a great weekend and enjoy what's left of February!

Circuit: L293D Mini-Sumo
This circuit is used to create a simple "edgebot" sumo robot. Being an edgebot refers that it will repeat the same backup/turn/go forward action when it's single edge sensor detects the edge of the ring. This version of the circuit is quite simple, and always turns the same way.
SB-FireFly Hacks: Round 1
Jeremie, our engineer and the brains behind the SB-FireFly, can't seem to put the thing down even though it's all done and released. He's been hard at work figuring out what it's capable of, and figures that the hardware and framework could be used for a Micro-TV-B-Gone broadcaster, IR code repeater, and even a tiny […]
StrongBad victorious again!
Our trip to RoboMaxx was great fun, and StrongBad did it again, winning first place in the Advanced Mini-Sumo competition! The GM6 gear motors did their job, rarely failing to give StrongBad the ability to power opponents out of the ring. We also entered our Sumovore Sumo robot kit (officially available in a day or […]
