Deals at Parallax – USA electronics company! @parallaxinc #ADADEALS
Here’s are some deals from Parallax! Happy Thanksgiving from Parallax + Announcements for Micro:bit v2.0, Propeller 2 and SumoBot WX –
This winter, it seems that we’ll have more time to invest in learning something new. If you’re making a purchase, consider one that involves learning a new skill or hobby (for yourself or somebody else). Such investments are durable and don’t get taken out with the trash. Don’t buy things you don’t need, even from us.
In that spirit, we’re opting out of the Black Friday chaos this year!
And truthfully, small American manufacturers like Parallax must operate a sustainable business. We released a new website and the Propeller 2 Multicore Microcontroller. We want to provide quality documentation, source code examples, supply for 20+ years, warranty support (sometimes even if you let the smoke out), and to have friendly people like Chantal and Kristina answer the phone. You certainly can’t get this from Amazon, and we can’t easily provide you with these things with continual discounts. Our interests in microcontrollers and electronics are a lifelong passion and we strive to provide steady value to you.
If you aren’t sure where to start with a project or learning on your own, reply to this e-mail and share your vision. I’ll provide some tips if you’d like.
Last week we emailed some companies in the maker world to see what sales they were going to have for Black Friday / Cyber Monday, etc, most of them got back to us, others did not, but we’ll cover them any way if they have sales that we can find.
We call this #ADADEALS – they are sales and deals that are not from Adafruit and happen to be in the maker / electronics / engineering community in some way (we’ve done this before).
Some could say we’re linking to and promoting “competitors” but we do not see it that way…all companies in this space are working together (or could!) to make great hardware for the Maker community and we are inspired by them!
Follow #ADADEALS on the blog and on Twitter. And post your own, use the tag #ADADEALS and we’ll Re-Tweet it and all that.
We’ll be post them today, all weekend long, and Monday.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
