NEW PRODUCTS THIS WEEK

Machined Aluminum Servo Arm: If you bought a servo from us you probably got a bunch of plastic add-ons that you can snap onto the rotating part of the servo. These are called ‘servo horns’ and the standard ones you’ll get are plastic pieces. They’re good but often short and not very strong plastic. See more!

micro:bit Club 10-Pack: The British Invasion is here! No, not music… microcontrollers! The BBC micro:bit is one of the newest and easiest ways to learn programming and electronics.

Designed specifically for kids and beginners, the micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customize and control to bring your digital ideas, games and apps to life. It’s a small, code-able device that is a non-intimidating introduction to programming and making – switch on, program it to do something fun – wear it, customize it, develop new ideas. See more!

Pixy2 CMUcam5 Sensor: Ever wanted your microcontroller to sense images without eating up all your processor speed? Or wish that you had an image sensor that wasn’t limited to RGB – but could sense hue and saturation as well? Or just want a kickstarted, open source camera sensor with a cool name? Enter the Pixy2 CMUCam5 – an image sensor for your microcontroller that you can teach what to look for. It’s a plug-and-play smart vision system for Arduino-compatibles, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontroller/computer systems. See more!
