Woo, we've had a busy week! To start things off, we have a new category - Temperature Sensors! So far it has the following items: Humidity/Temperature Sensor DS1620+ Serial Digital Thermometer DS18B20+ Temperature Sensor Devantech TPA81 8x1 Thermopile LilyPad Temperature Sensor Yeah, it's a pretty bare category at the moment, but we'll be adding to […]
Tech Tip: Micro Terminal Blocks
Solar botics
March 7, 2017
We use many, many devices with 0.1" spaced holes, which are pretty much an electronics design standard. We're finding these 0.1" space terminal blocks incredibly useful for making solid, secure, yet serviceable connections to the rest of our designs. We'll often reach for a microcontroller board, then reach for a necessary handful of these parts to solder onto the pinholes, just to have to change it as the design progresses. These allow for easy solderless changes, vital for prototyping products.
Inexpensive, and useful. Try some - we'll bet you agree.
We now carry 2-, 3- (new!), 6-, 8- and 10-position terminal blocks suitable for pretty much any number of pins:
Easy to mount on the board...
...and make quick and secure connections.
Super handy, and easily field serviceable.

Roundabout Pieces!
David Cook wrote a book. That book is a technically a Cook book, but we won't call it that. We'll call it Intermediate Robot Building (no, we don't have it yet, we're still waiting for our order!), and it heavily features the Roundabout Robot. If you're familiar with Mr. Cook's first book Robot Building for […]
Postal Strike - Important Note for Shipp...
Update: Looks like Canada Post is doing a rotating strike, so only one city will be affected at a time. This means that, most likely, orders shipped via postal methods will only be delayed 2-3 days. Purolator and UPS options are not impacted, and have no delays. Ok class, fictional robotic history refresher course 101: […]

Today I wanted to share a how-to of one of my projects with you. So once I had some cats. And an extra apple tree. And I wanted to be noticed in the dark. So I made some fruit batteries out of apples and attached them to the running jacket. This way I could burn […]
