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!

Heated Car Seat Teardown and Repair
Here's a little makeover of an inexpensive aftermarket car seat heating pad that stopped working. Designed to activate and warm up when sat upon, the electronics face a fair amount of abuse: since the seat is a soft frame, the wires inside constantly move and flex with the body. They are also subject to harsh […]
