Unlike Sparkfun, who actually manage to find fake Atmel ICs, we just get strange batches. The Atmel ATMega328 is the power behind the Arduino/Freeduino/*duino, and we have to set up a programming system to burn the venerable Arduino Bootloader into these chips. We normally use an AVR STK500 in HVSP (high voltage serial programming) mode, […]
We're CLOSED for Maker Faire

May 19, 2011
Yeah, we warned you. We're not even in our office to write out this newspost. Nay, this is one of them fancy pre-recorded messages. It may or may not self destruct.
So, yes, we're closed from May 19th (Thursday) to the 24th (Tuesday). We'll resume filling/shipping orders and replying to any correspondance once we're back in on Wednesday.
But what if you just can't stand to go without seeing us? Come drop by Maker Faire! We're running free Arduino Experimenter's workshops (based on the ARDX kit) at booth #53 all day. Drop in, say hi, and learn something new! Unless you already know ARDX stuff inside and out. Then drop by and learn something old. We'd love to see you either way.
This message will now self destruct in 3, 2, 1...
Ka-blammo.

It's snowing here. Here's the proof - a ruler measured with another ruler, reading about 7" depth of (what used to be) snow. It's a massive invasion of snowflakes, and they don't seem too friendly. The amount of snowfall we are experiencing now can prevent anyone in their right mind from being outside. And the […]
New TINY Pogo Pin Probes
We had some requests for some really, really small Pogo Push Pin Probes (Hmmm...shoulda named them PPPPs...). Anyway, here's the PP8s and the PPH2, which are the "short" version of the PP8 and the necessary holder to mount them. If you have really tight spaces you need to test, these are the probes you'll need!
Freeduino, Freeduino, Freeduino!
The whole 'duino thing is just so much to say, we've got to do it three times. Blame Jerome, our intern... We've got Freeduino version 2.2 back from the assembly line today, and all tests out beeeautifully! New features include an SMD-mounted 16MHz crystal, better power-consumption circuit routing (for battery-operated projects), and "hacking pads" for […]
