Here's our late and lame Friday post. It features one very lonely, depressed, and forgotten product from a week ago. But it blinks, so it can't be that sad, right? 5V RGB LED LPD8806 Stripxels (32 per meter) $35.00 These are very similar to the WS2801 RGB Stripxel, but feature the LPD8806 controller IC instead. […]
Vancouver Mini Maker Faire
Dave Hrynkiw
June 13, 2011
The best part of being a company in Canada is that you don't need to leave the country to go there. That being said, we're going to show some of our fellow Canuck's some lovin' by attending the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire at the Great Northern Way Campus from June 25th-26th. We'll bring a handful of our more popular kits and acessories with us, along with some stuff that we distribute for SparkFun, Adafruit, and a few others. But wait, THERE'S MORE! We'll also be recreating the magical experience of a 100% free ARDX workshop. Drop by our booth, and we'll set you up with a couple Arduino-based experiments to try and give you any help you might need along the way. We'll even throw in a lil' treat for participating. This is a great chance for west coasters that didn't make it down to San Franscisco last month to experience Maker Faire. Be sure to drop by and say hello if you're in the area!
