Today August 21, 2017, we were treated to about 80% solar eclipse. In spite of the smoke, the weather cooperated so we couldn't miss this event. Pinhole projector boxes were made out of cereal and shipping boxes: Fancy ones were mounted onto a tripod, and a phone camera recording a time lapse video was taped to […]
Turkey Time! (and new product too)
Dave Hrynkiw
October 9, 2009
Woohoo! It's early October, and that means it's TURKEY TIME for us Canadians! We know, Americans have their Thanksgiving in November, but it's so cold here already that it might as well be November. So to celebrate we're releasing the following items:
- Make: The Fourth Year Collector's Box Set
- Breadboard Jumper Wire Bundle
- LilyPad Slide Switch
- ScrewShield for Arduino
- 74HC595 8-Bit Serial to Serial/Parallel IC
We just want to point out that the Breadboard Jumper Wires are pretty neat - for $6 USD you get 75 pieces of wire of various lengths and colours. It makes prototyping so much easier.
Anyways, with Thanksgiving being a holiday Solarbotics and HVW Tech will be closed on Monday, October 12th. Standard rules apply - submit orders, send emails, etc. We'll respond to any messages and resume processing/shipping orders on Tuesday. So to all of our Canadian Comrades, have a great Thanksgiving! And to all of our American Amigos, Happy Columbus Day!

New: The Ardweeny BackPack!

The Ardweeny is proving to be a popular way to make a breadboard-friendly Arduino-clone, but after the prototyping is done, you still have […]
