Well, it's that time of the season to shut down and spend time with the family. Solarbotics will be closing December 21, 2001 at 4pm, and we'll reopen January 3, 2002.
Here's a tip submitted by Rick Steenblik regarding hacking our SCC3733 for less voltage, but more current:
After using your SCC3733 solar cells for a couple of bots I noticed that they can be altered to provide about 3.3v at 80ma (in full sun) by cutting the bus connector on the back to electrically separate the two sides of the cell and then to cross-connect the two sides of the bus to the + and - contacts. This puts the two sides in parallel.
Nice - half the voltage; twice the current, still all in the same solar package!

I created this choker as a project to demonstrate the new MicroNova APA102-2020 LED strips. Photo by Yeti, edited by Batgirl These addressable LEDs are extremely small, less than 1/4 the size of a standard 5050 LED. This project was built using engineering sample standard MicroNova 99 LED / meter strips . The MicroNova strips we […]
Sorry about that. The last ad for the ARDX Experimenter's Kit for Arduino? Wrong. Our graphics designer, Chris (yes, I'll give credit where credit is due) used an old template for our latest Servo Advertisement, and didn't change the price. No, it's not $30 - it's still $84.95USD. And continuing the blame-game, I gave him […]
