NEW PRODUCTS THIS WEEK

Silicone Cover Stranded-Core Ribbon Cable – 4 Wires 1 Meter Long – 30 AWG Black: For those who are fans of our silicone-covered wires, but are always looking to up their wiring game. We now have Silicone Cover Ribbon cables! These may look a lot like squid ink noodles, but they’re not. The silicone-sheathed wire is super-flexible and soft, and it’s also strong! Able to handle up to 200°C and up to 600V, it will do when PVC covered wire wimps out. We like this wire for being extremely supple and flexible, so it is great for wearables or projects where the wire-harness has to be able to deal with a lot of bending. Read more.

Its not too long, but has lots of glowing action. Perfect for use with a Hallowing, or a custom design with a JST PH socket. Read more.

LEGO compatible Brick Bracket for DC Gearbox “TT” Motor: Who doesn’t love LEGO and 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, pulleys. Say a 13-meter high LEGO London Tower Bridge…Read more.

Eccentric Hub for TT Motors: We really enjoy our DC gear motors (a.k.a “TT Motor”) but unless you have a 3D printer it can be a challenge to get something attached to the axle. That’s why we’ve got this Eccentric TT Motor Hub – it gives you 2 x hexagonal holes and two circle holes. It’s a very good solution to quickly and easily mount custom wheels, cardboard & wood, or other mechanisms to your robot project. Read more.

5V Electromagnet – 2.5Kg Holding Force – P20/15: Ever wanted to feel like Magneto? Well, now you sort-of can! Bring the ferromagnetic objects in the world under your control with an Electromagnet

The simplest way to make an electromagnet is to get a solenoid, pass some current through it, and then get a piece of soft iron inside the solenoid. When the current is switched off, the electromagnet is no longer, well, magnetic! Read more.

Adafruit HTU21D-F Temperature & Humidity Sensor Breakout Board – with or without Headers: It’s summer and you’re sweating and your hair’s all frizzy and all you really want to know is why the weatherman said this morning that today’s relative humidity would max out at a perfectly reasonable 52% when it feels more like 77%. Enter the HTU21D-F Temperature + Humidity Sensor – the best way to prove the weatherman wrong! Read more.

Mini Geared Pager Motor with Return Spring: These are very unusual motors, but we thought they could be handy for projects that need a small geared-down motor. At the core is a ‘pager motor’ – a small thin DC motor that runs on about 3VDC. That motor is then geared down inside the red-plastic body of the motor. Finally, the output axle is connected to a plastic triangle that has a bent-wire return spring. There are two plastic stops built into the outside of the motor. Read more.

Adafruit HTU21D-F Temperature & Humidity Sensor Breakout Board – Fully Assembled: It’s summer and you’re sweating and your hair’s all frizzy and all you really want to know is why the weatherman said this morning that today’s relative humidity would max out at a perfectly reasonable 52% when it feels more like 77%. Enter the HTU21D-F Temperature + Humidity Sensor – the best way to prove the weatherman wrong! Read more.

Adafruit RGB Matrix Featherwing Kit – For M0 and M4 Feathers: hoy! It’s time to create a dazzling light up project with our new RGB Matrix FeatherWing. Now you can quickly and easily create projects featuring your favorite 16 or 32-pixel tall matrix boards. Using our RGB Matrix library is easy and works wonderfully with any of our M0 or M4 based Feathers.

Please note: This wing is only tested/designed to work with the SAMD21 M0 and SAMD51 M4 Feathers. It’s not for use with any other Feathers at this time. (That said, if you’d like to add support, we’d be happy to take a pull request on the library repo. Read more.
