New Product Roundup – February 11th to February 17th

We are back with another edition of our New Product Roundup for the week of February 11th to 17th! This week we have a few new tools, a new Pi Camera Software Workshop, and a new GSM antenna. Lets jump in and take a closer look!







Multi-Size Wire Stripper – 12-24 AWG

Wire strippers are an essential tool for working with electronics! This entry level wire stripper multi-tool features 12-24 AWG strippers, wire cutters, “plier” tips, comfortable grips with and a closing lock.

Mini Drill Bit Set – 0.1mm to 1.0mm

These tiny drill bits have been incredibly popular since we first brought them in – so now we have added another size assortment! They are a great thing to have at any work bench and are ideal for model builders, cleaning 3D printer nozzles, and drilling small holes! This set of 10 tiny bits range from 0.1mm to 1.0mm in 0.1mm increments.

GSM / Cellular Antenna

This tiny cellular antenna measures just 7.2 x 36mm with a thickness of only 2mm. The adhesive backing makes mounting a breeze and the uFL connector will connect to most on board external antenna connections. This antenna works well with a variety of RF projects (including Cellular 2G/3G GSM/GPRS) in the ranges of 780 ~ 960 and 1710 ~ 2170MHz.

Mini Drill Bit Set – 1.1mm to 2.0mm

In addition to the smaller sized set, we also have a larger size assortment spanning from 1.1mm to 2.0mm in 0.1mm increments.

Raspberry Pi Camera Software/Project Workshop – March 3

We also have a new workshop looking at using the Raspberry Pi Camera with the provided Raspbian software and libraries. The workshop goes into the various capabilities provided – exposure control, special effects, timed photos etc – for both stills and video. Using only the Pi & camera module you can do many interesting photo projects but adding a button or two to the GPIO connector allows even more fun – so we will look at controlling the camera from the GPIO as well!
