Here's something to take a boo at a workshop by Tom Mair and a Grade-5 class. From his message to the BEAM mailing list: Last year I helped Mrs. Corbett's Grade 5 class build robots and we had a blast (see a review here http://www.aasland.com/hcrd.html). Well, this year we are doing it again. We're building […]
Arduino Parts and Other Things, Too
Dave Hrynkiw
September 11, 2009
Remember the other week when we mentioned how the Arduino Parts category was looking rather thin? Well, we've gone ahead and fattened it up a bit with the following new items:
You might be wondering what the heck does a power jack have to do with Arduino? Well, that's actually the same unit we use to deliver power to the Freeduino SB. 
So if you have the burning desire to make any modifications or need such a jack for making your own Arduino design you'll know where to look.
Hey, check it out - there's a Round II of the weekly New Product Showdown! Ding ding!
That's right, it may be the end of summer and it's rapidly getting colder and darker but WE'VE GOT A NEW SOLAR CELL! It's a pretty small unit too, great for compact projects. Like powering a certain red LED to light-up a transparent breadboard. Ok, that might be pushing it. And yet a lit up breadboard sure would look sexy...

Strange set of Atmel '328 ICs...
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, […]
