NEW PRODUCTS THIS WEEK


USB Type C PD to 5.5mm/2.1mm Barrel Jack Adapter – 12V: This convenient adapter lets you plug a USB Type C 3.1 5V cable into something with a 5.5mm / 2.1mm DC barrel socket.

Works great with any device or cable with 5.5mm / 2.1mm DC barrel socket. Since USB C is reversible you can flip it for a left angle or right angle. You’ll get 12V DC output, at up to 3A (or whatever the power adapter can do)

We’ve also got:


Vertical Micro Servo Mount for LEGO-Compatible Brick Systems: Who doesn’t love LEGO-compatible bricks? Nobody! Except when we accidentally step on them. There are soooo many mechanical things one can make with those ubiquitous bricks, plates, gears, and pulleys. Say a 13-meter high LEGO London Tower Bridge…

But what do you do when you want to add LEGO-compatible bricks and parts to your robotics project? Instead of hot glue and epoxy and hope, you can use a nicely designed and resin-printed mounting shape. This Vertical Micro Servo Mount for LEGO-Compatible Brick Systems will fit our ‘9g’ Micro Servos and Micro-Servo-sized DC motors securely with lots of dots on the bottom so you can mechanize your build easily.

Upcycled 3.5″ Floppy Drive – Sony MPF-920 or Compatible: Before SSDs or USB keys or email attachments or SD cards or even CD-ROMs, there was the mighty floppy disk! These lil guys could store about a megabyte or so of files in their cool square shapes, using a magnetic circle that could be encoded to read or write your files as it spun. Wild, right? Well you might still have some diskettes around that need accessing, and you can’t just press them to your forehead and decode the files by crainial-magnet-osmosis. Instead you will need a 3.5″ Floppy Drive like this one!

Please Note: Floppy drives are not manufactured anymore which means any and all drives you find are leftovers from the 80’s and 90’s. And much like people from that time period, they have a few tattoos, scars and stories to tell. So these drives may have scratches, stickers, dents and chips. Models may vary but these tend to be Sony MPF-920 models. They are all tested to work reading a FAT12 formatted diskette.
