Ummm, yup! Here's an April Fool's joke for you - that April Fool's wasn't a joke!


Solarbotics has indeed taken over the operations of HVWTech.com! The owner of HVWTech has new priorities in his life (about 1 year old, drooling, and crawling around on the floor), and decided to hand off operations to us. We're excited to be playing with all these new gadgets and gizmos, and promise to deliver HVW Technology's products to our customers with our standard high-quality service.




So what does this mean to the future of both companies? We're working on that. We plan on new product introductions on boths sites very soon, so keep an eye on Solarbotics and HVW Technologies!

Yaaarrrr! Strike the Jolly Roger, and hoist the banner of Solarbotics!

Special Gift Ocarina Box

Now that the season of mass gift giving is (temporarily) over, publishing the details on this special gift ocarina box for a wedding anniversary will not ruin a surprise. So I figured I'd share this personal project that uses simple but smart electronics. First I soldered an interrupter switch to the SuperFlex LED Strand with Battery Pack in color purple. […]

SCC3733 Solarcell hacking

Here's a tip submitted by Rick Steenblik regarding hacking our SCC3733 for less voltage, but more current: After using your SCC3733 solar cells for a couple of bots I noticed that they can be altered to provide about 3.3v at 80ma (in full sun) by cutting the bus connector on the back to electrically separate […]
