We asked Grant, our resident BEAM technician, to come up with a list of some of the tools he uses, and here we have it! This list will help those first starting out to see what they should use, and for those who've been doing it awhile we have some of our more advanced tools. […]
Friday New Product: BusBoard ProtoBoards
Solar botics
July 19, 2013
We've been working hard to bring you a conundrum* of new protoboards and other handy items to go with them (*conundrum - a collective noun used to describe massive amounts of protoboards inhabiting our shelves). This issue of Friday new products features roughly half of the whole selection we offer, which can cover pretty much any projects you decide to do. Can cover, you guessed it, with boards:
|
SB830 Solderable PC BreadBoard (single-panel compatible) $6.50 BusBoard makes lots of great prototyping PCBs. Here's a convenient one that matches a regular 1-panel PC breadboard, with handy top-print overlay, and thinner interconnections for friendly track cutting. |
 |
SB1660 Solderable PC BreadBoard, Double-sized $12.00 BusBoard makes lots of great prototyping PCBs. Here's a convenient one that matches a double-wide PC breadboard. |
 |
BR1 Solderable PC BreadBoard (single-panel compatible) $6.50 BusBoard makes lots of great prototyping PCBs. Here's a convenient one that matches a regular 1-panel PC breadboard. |
 |
BB-2 Zig-zag solder prototyping board, 80x100mm $5.66 Zig-zag patterns on this single-sided prototyping board makes it particularly convenient to solder your circuit down into something permanent. |
 |
PadBoard-3U Protoboard, Pad-per-Hole, 160x100mm $5.66 For the ultimate in protoboard flexibility, here's a one-pad-per-hole, plated-through, double-sided board from BPS. |
 |
PowerBoard-3U, 6-hole strip Solder protoboard $10.78 This traditional soldering protoboard is very similar to a solderless breadboard, but has a monster set of power distribution rails running through it. It also accommodates a 96-pin VME backplane connector for slotting connectivity. |
 |
ProtoBoard2H-2, 2-hole Strips, 100x80mm solder Protoboard $5.66 Long strips of copper too much for you? Complex zig-zags drive you nuts? Here's a nice compromise - solder prototyping with pairs of connected pads. |
 |
ST2 StripBoard solder protoboard $5.66 It doesn't get more standard than a large, traditional stripboard for soldering your experiments! |
 |
SMTpads-Size3U-Thin 50x50mil Pads Protoboard for SMT $12.99 SMD parts are becoming easier to find than old "finger-friendly" ones. Have some of these SMT pad-compatible breakout boards for your next tiny project. |
 |
SMTpads-Size3U, 200x100mil Pads Protoboard for SMT $12.99 SMD parts are becoming easier to find than old "finger-friendly" ones. Have some of these SMT pad-compatible breakout boards for your next tiny project. |
 |
ProtoBox-1593K-BK Protoboard and Case Kit $7.23 Got the circuit breadboarded, tested, and ready for field-testing. Ummm... sure would be nice to build that onto a nice protoboard and case shell wouldn't it? |
 |
PCB Mounting Adhesive Standoffs 8-Pack $2.75 If you need to tuck a circuit board someplace and you can't fit a screw, use these handy low-profile, self-adhesive PCB standoffs |
Well, if you were trying to make a telescopic toothpick-shooting badger model, our protoboards might not prove helpful, but even then! Give it a try, you never know...

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, […]
Friday New Product: Different Things and...
Winter is not quite here yet. But close. It’s the second day of the last day of summer in 2013 today, according to the calendar at least. So lets prepare to that early by making sure all the new products are looked at. Now, how that makes sense? I am not sure. This was just […]
New Product and Day Off
It's a short week this week, so new product is coming early. We are closed Friday April 18th, which is hence called Good Friday. LilyPad Arduino SimpleSnap with LiPoly cell $29.95 This is the LilyPad Arduino SimpleSnap Board. It's controlled by an ATmega328 with the Arduino bootloader. It has fewer pins than the LilyPad Arduino […]
