New Crappy NES Controllers!

The perfect hackable! A really bad clone of the original NES controller including the unusual NES plug. These are New in the box, and have an 80% chance of containing correctly spelled English words on the label.

Great way to avoid hacking dodgy old controllers when adding them to your laptop, Arduino, or other projects. Perfectly functioning –just not the “original.”

Wire color pinout included for Propeller, basic stamp  & Ardino hacking.

Programmable LED Matrix Kit : Closeout!

This breadboard kit contains everything you need to build a programmable 8×8 LED Matrix.  Images can be programmed into the matrix using the 4 buttons in a “draw” mode, and then save to memory during power-off. While viewing the image, it can be scrolled or flashed at three different speeds as well as randomized. New patterns can be re-saved.

This breadboard kit is of moderate complexity, but does not require any soldering or laptop to use. Runs from a single 9v battery.

A_SID Serial Synth Kit : C64 Synth chip emulator

This kit includes all of the parts you need to build your own version of Christoph Haberer’s open-source Atmel based C64 SID chip emulator.  This is a very good emulation of the MOS 6581 with the difference of very simple serial control from your laptop, computer or microcontroller.
The kit includes a pre-programmed AVR chip allowing you to build and use the emulator without soldering or programming the microcontroller. Also included are all wires and components, and additional sample code. (Breadboard is NOT included)

Hack-a-rino : Build your own Arduino Kit

The Kit provides instructions and everything you need to build an Arduino-compatible microcontroller from the base components on a versatile breadboard.

This is a beginner electronics building kit, based on the Arduino microcontroller platform (www.arduino.cc). No soldering skill or knowledge of electronics is required. Instructions show you the foundations of electronics while moving you quickly toward a fully functional experimental platform.

for advanced users, this kit allows you to customize a slim version of the platform, using only the parts needed for your specific application.

Pocket VBLANK: auto visualizer kit - assembled

Modulates pre-programmed pixel graphics to incoming music. This visualizer circuit makes changes to realtime video to the tempo of  live or pre-recorded music.  The pixel animations are directly converted programs used in VBLANK performances from Blip festival 2008 & at various shows throughout 2009. See www.waitforvblank.com for more info.

2-1/2″x3″ Circuit board – completely assembled and ready to run.

Comes in N.T.S.C format for U.S., or PAL version for most of Europe. If you are unsure

U.S version Comes with power supply.

For Europe: you will need to provide a power supply between 5V and 12V with atleast 300mA of power. The connector is standard 2.1mm barrel with center positive. Please email if you want to see if a specific adapter will work.
