We just received a fresh supply of tinyCylon kits in the Maker Shed. Not into Cylons? *gasp* Then maybe a Lux Spectralis or WeeBlinky might be a good choice? All these kits are really easy to solder together, and the end result is a lot of fun.
The Mystery Box kit is a clever puzzle box made by our very own John Park, host of Make: television. Here is how it works: first you assemble the laser-cut wooden box, placing a treasure inside. Next, you present the Mystery Box and its hidden contents to a friend, loved one, or enemy. Ask them to not open it, instead encourage them to cherish the Mystery Box and its contents. Maybe they will listen to your suggestion, enjoying the mystery within for generations to come. Then again, maybe they will wait until you leave and eventually figure out how to open this clever wooden box? Who knows? One thing we do know, whoever receives the Mystery Box as a gift will certainly love it!
The Open Heart kit V2.0 is a matrix of individually addressable LEDs that allow you to create customizable animations when connected to your favorite micro controller. Attach it temporarily to fabrics with headers that you simply push through, or sew it into a project with conductive fabric for a more permanent setup. It’s “Charlieplexed” so you need only 6 wires to control the 27 LEDs
Last call for grabbing some great deals in our Cabin Fever sale in the Maker Shed. The sale ends tonight at Midnight (Pacific). We have a fresh re-supply of kits, and a juicy sale on lots of different items ranging from necklaces to chemistry sets; finger puppets to Erector sets. You can even pick up a shiny new Arduino at a great sale price!
The Conductive booster pack is the perfect companion to our Fashioning Technology book by Syuzi Pakhchyan. The kit contains a collection of conductive materials that are often only available in much larger quantities, making it a more affordable way to sample various materials.
The Detection of lead paint test kit provides the equipment and reagents you need to perform reliable multi-step laboratory tests for detecting lead content in paints. The sulfide test, a sensitive preliminary screening test, quickly identifies paint samples that may contain lead (but may instead contain only traces of cobalt or other innocuous metals that yield a false positive with the sulfide test).
Well, it seems like a lot of us are coming down with the dreaded “Cabin Fever”, so we figured it’s no time like the present to have a Cabin Fever sale in the Maker Shed. We have a fresh re-supply of our most popular kits, and a juicy sale on everything from necklaces to chemistry sets; finger puppets to Erector sets. Yes, even Arduinos are over 20% off!
