Yep, more new stuff. We just can't help ourselves

Tim Carr - Friday, January 22, 2010

We've had the mother of all shipments come in to replenish all those tinkering goodies that we had run out of and supply us with a load of new goodies to tinker with.
Check out the new stuff:

Tank Treads

PicAXE Kit

If you're coming to electronics and tinkering more from the electronics side you may want to check out PICAXE. You can program these the normal way by typing at a keyboard or you can design your programs using flow diagrams and dragging blocks onto the screen and then uploading that program to the micro. We've taken a but of a shine to these PicAXE boards really as they are cheap and really quick to get up and running.

Arduino Screwshield

Now, I know we've had these in before but they sold out so quickly that they may as well not have hit our shelves. So, this time we've got a few more. They make it really easy to secure wiring to the Arudino without having to worry that it's going to fall off while you're using your project.
