Just saw this now, but the update/rebranding happened back in Oct — Velleman is now Whadda –
Did you know that it has been more than 20 years since Velleman first introduced its unique electronic projects to the hobbyist community? Hobbyists which we now call makers. So we figured that after 20 years, an update of our one-of-a-kind brand is in order! That is why, from now on Velleman for Makers will be called Whadda, the new Premium Maker Brand by Velleman.
Whadda will bring exciting electronics to the maker community! We even designed a little mascot named Whaddy.
Whaddy will help out novice Makers to find their way in the world of electronics. He’ll spread around tips and tricks, and teach you a thing or two about our four main skills.
