I've got some pics to share from some of our customers! Let's start with James McCracken's GM10 Walker...
It's been in the coming for a while, and now is the time to release it to the webosphere (yes, I said "Web-o-sphere").
Since Solarbotics Ltd. took over HVW Technologies, we simply couldn't ignore some of the benefits of microcontrollers. Really, they're not that scary. Many of them even look like our good friend the 74AC240 IC.
We're starting our blending of technologies with the PICAXE line of microcontrollers. These have some specific features that make them very usable with BEAM projects:
So if you've become too comfortable with your latest techniques, try something new. Stretch your brain, and check out the PICAXE. We've even got starter packs, and a book!
Besides the PICAXE, we're also dabbling with the Freeduino SB. This is a project spawned from the Arduino project out of Italy. It's an open-source hardware and software project using the Atmel ATmega168 microcontroller.The really cool thing is that that it's open-source, there's a huge world-wide community of developers and users, so there's lots of help, source-code, and examples to start with.
It's more expensive than the PICAXE, but it's a different beast. Where the PICAXE is generally just the chip, Freeduino is a full system. Besides the microcontroller, the Freeduino includes:
So if you're more programming savvy than flowcharts and BASIC, check out a Freeduino SB, and do some web-searches. It's an very useable, handy platform!

It's a short week this week, so new product is coming early. We are closed Friday April 18th, which is hence called Good Friday. LilyPad Arduino SimpleSnap with LiPoly cell $29.95 This is the LilyPad Arduino SimpleSnap Board. It's controlled by an ATmega328 with the Arduino bootloader. It has fewer pins than the LilyPad Arduino […]
Solarbotics is pleased to be bringing Wilf Rigter to the Western Canadian Robot Games this April 6 &7. Anybody familiar with the BEAM mailing list will undoubtably recognize the contribution Mr. Rigter has made with his plethora of circuits and ideas. Come out and meet the man behind the email!
