Proto-PIC.co.uk is owned and operated by RelChron Limited.
RelChron began life in 2002 when we were invited, by a major manufacturing organisation in Fife, Scotland, to develop a Software System to assist with the Pressure Testing process in the subsea-oil manufacturing industry.
In 2006 the same company challenged us to design the data acquisition hardware necessary to further improve and complement the business process.
After developing in-house with the manufacturer and integrating with existing systems, the Pressure Testing Hardware and Software is now online and fully operational.
Using this knowledge, we then formed our website www.proto-pic.co.uk a site designed for electronics and prototyping hobbyists and enthusiasts. This site has grown and is now a useful knowledge base and online shop for anyone who has an interest in Microcontroller Programming & Development or for anyone who has a love of electronics.
These are just 2 of our distributors in Europe, make sure to visit the Adafruit distributor page to view them all! We will be spotlighting Adafruit resellers from around the world on a regular basis!
Would you like to be an Adafruit distributor?
We have a very easy reseller program and would love to have more great people and companies as distributors, resellers and hackerspaces, all of whom receive special prices on their orders.
For many of our products you get up to a 30 % discount for just 1 quantity. This allows you to get a great discount even when ordering a small amount of items and it’s great for folks who want to try out a new product in their store. As always, if you order 50 or more of these items, this discount goes up to 40%. Note! *Not ALL items have reseller pricing, these discounts are only for items that can be marked down for our resellers, but we are adding more products to this list all the time! Remember, in order to receive this discount, orders must be $250 or more, not including shipping.
We have great relationships with our distributors and are working to provide even more features for them in the future. To become one now, click here and keep in mind the following:
