New Product Friday: Cables, Adapters, Ju...
Dave Hrynkiw
October 16, 2012
Well, I'm officially out of words, and again reverting to non-verbal expression. I already tried to interpretively dance the new product post before. That leaves me completely out of options here. So how about I sleep interpretively? Or breathe... Now, that's just plain weird. Better I sleepwalk then:
| 4-conductor, 20AWG ribbon cable (Blue, Green, Yellow, Red) $2.50 This ain't yo Mama's ribbon cable. This is Ahnold Schwarzencable - bigger, stronger, and able to rule an American state. |
 | Compact Selectable Switching Power Supply 3-12VDC $14.95 What a handy power adapter - 100~240VAC input, and it outputs up to 10 watts, with a selectable voltage from 3 to 12VDC. Complete with a variety of interface plugs! |
 | Standalone 5-Pad Capacitive Touch Sensor Breakout $7.50 Traditional switches are large and ...switchy. Make your own slick switch buttons by plugging in conductive leads to this board to make a 5-button controller that suits YOUR needs. |
 | 4-Way 2.1mm DC Barrel Jack Splitter $4.95 Power bar too full of multiple adapters? Wouldn't it be nice to have several devices share the same 2.1mm power plug? Split your adapter's power output among several projects! |
 | Premium Jumper Wires Male/Female - 15cm (10-pack) $3.95 They're like little 15cm (6") high-quality extension cables for your breadboard. Actually, they ARE little 15cm high-quality extension cables for your breadboard! |
 | Premium Jumper Wires Male/Female - 30cm (10-pack) $4.50 They're like little 30cm (12") high-quality extension cables for your breadboard. Actually, they ARE little 30cm high-quality extension cables for your breadboard! |
 | FX-8804 Hot Tweezer $186.47 Working with SMD parts or desoldering keyboards? The FX-8804 hot tweezers make the job simple when mounted to your Hakko FX-888 soldering station. |
 | SB4 97x64mm, Snappable Solder Breadboard $5.50 It's a handy little solderable breadboard, scored for easy snapping into quadrants for subcircuits. |
 | 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Shield - I2C interface $17.50 It's an independent 16-channel, 12-bit PWM chip breakout that's ideal for driving LEDs or servos over an I2C network. Pretty handy for "Set-it & forget-it" installations. |
 | 40 pin Male-to-Female Jumper Ribbon Cable (20cm) $7.95 No rats nests using this 20cm ribbon-cable Male/Female jumper! 40 lines that stay tidy until you pull them apart! |
Next time I could maybe interpretively cook or laser stuff... Well that’s plain boring. Add some pineapple! That’s better now. Pineapple makes everything better!
