The Wearable Tech Gala MakeFashion 2015 at the Telus Spark Science Centre is fast approaching, but there is still some time to get your tickets. It’s been 3 years and the event is getting bigger and better, and we are looking forward to seeing the new creations, some of which are coming together with the […]

SeeedStudio continues to impress us with he Grove line of Arduino/Pi/microcontroller compatible plug-in modules. Here’s a fresh batch for today’s product announcements.

We were pleased to see the Kickstarter for Ringo, the Photopopper-ish but much smarter version of our own ~17 year old design robot kit. The video showcases some pretty cool behaviors, and is easily one of those projects where we think “Jee, why didn’t we do that?”

For Fridays, it’s either all or nothing – so today is an all day, with all kinds of exciting new things, including Raspberry Pi Version 2 & accessories, PCBGrip and Hakko soldering irons

SeeedStudio Grove modules are here with a new standalone kit, and some new modules.

Not being able to wait until the proper Friday New Product post, we are excited to announce that we are now carrying the Raspberry Pi Model B+ 512MB Project Board.

New today is the Grove series from SeeedStudio. What makes Grove different is that is very modular, making quick-prototyping quite rapid. Usually this is an expensive feature. The rule of thumb is “Price, Speed, Quality – pick any two”, but Seeed has made the 3 curves match just right.

…especially since we have great skiing, universal healthcare, and excellent chocolate (Smarties over M&Ms any day). Unfortunately, one of those excellent things ISN’T the Canadian dollar.
