Lots of new stuff in the Maker store (and a special congrats to Rob!) – Here’s a fun little open source soldering kit that provides an introduction to the capabilities of microcontrollers. The readerboard spells out preprogrammed messages such as “MAKE” one letter at a time on its alphanumeric LED display.
The LED Micro-Readerboard, designed by Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, is a fun little open source soldering kit that provides an introduction to the capabilities of microcontrollers. The readerboard spells out preprogrammed messages such as “MAKE,” or “HELLO WORLD,” one letter at a time on its alphanumeric LED display. Fifteen phrases are included and holiday messages can be optional enabled as well– for use as a holiday ornament. The kit comes complete with easy, comic book style instructions and a pre- programmed microcontroller. No programming is needed, but source code is available in case you want to hack it.
Assembly is easy with comic book style instructions. Printed instructions are included with kits, but you can also download the instructions here – Link (PDF).
