Product KIT-10173 | about 8 months ago

I’d tried tinkering with picaxe years ago, but after building the little board from a pen-drawn circuit sketch, and finally blinking an LED, I found myself in a, “Ok so… now what?” situation, and abandoned it. I hadn’t actually learned much.
Less than a year ago I bought this kit. The amount of consideration that went into this thing is amazing. That simple little project booklet and circuit overlays are great. Things clicked, and now I do all kinds of fun and useful things with various mcu’s, my own boards, etc. It was the perfect launch pad to a whole new hobby.
I might be a bit beyond one now, but if I’d known of a formal follow-on kit I almost certainly would have purchased it. Maybe something that dealt with voltage dividers, using additional libraries, maybe throw in that inexpensive dmm, etc. Does SFE have something like that?
Anyways, thanks! My nephews are definitely going to inherit this kit. They’re going to love it.

Product ROB-10826 | about 9 months ago

I don’t know. I think the claw is $10. So $30 for two job specific brackets, a servo, all mounting hardware and wrench doesn’t seem too bad. It looks like the servos alone go for $11 on SFE.
