Last summer during a Solarbotics Robotics for Educators session, one of the teachers noted something about many of the mainstream robotics and electronics learning platforms commonly used in classrooms. He said that those platforms suffered from the Black Box Effect. This effect was where the “black boxes,” the controllers, were plugged into the computer and […]
We're CLOSED for Maker Faire
Dave Hrynkiw
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 contains 13 projects packed into 16 chapters/420+ pages, covering a wide array of an Arduino's potential. It's a pretty comprehensive read. Perhaps the biggest […]
