Here at Solarbotics, we like to celebrate things. And today we're remembering a supernova that took place in the Ophiuchus constellation and was observed by German astronomer Johannes Kepler back in 1604. That poor star, it was taken before its time. So to commemorate the memory of that star, (aptly named SN 1604, but we […]
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!
