Well, we're all back from Maker Faire, feelin' pretty groggy but fairly alive (or, perhaps more accurately, undead - something about being in a zombie-like state sounds about right). So to break the recent drought of news posts, we've dug out a treat from the deeper regions of the Solarbotics server archives. This is some […]
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!

As usual, we're planning at also having our free annual post-event BBQ, so if you'll […]
Sumobot Circuits
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!). Grant McKee has been experimenting with some simple additions to the chip to make it (unto itself) a suitable brain for a simple mini-sumo […]
