New Product Roundup – September 7th

Happy Saturday! It was a short week here with the Labour Day holiday last Monday – but we still have four new additions to showcase and a new Product of the Week for today’s post. We also have plenty of Raspberry Pi 4 2GB in stock, so if you have been holding off getting one, they are now available!

New Products
First up this week we have a new Mean Well Switching Power Supply – this version outputs 5VDC and a massive 10A. Ideal for powering larger DotStar / NeoPixel LED installations! Next, we have a small tool set from Pro’s Kit. This kit is primarily billed as an iPhone / Apple repair kit – but we think the assorted prying tools and tiny screwdriver bits make for a good general hacking / repair kit. Speaking of repairs, we also added a smaller width solder wick to the catalogue. This wick is a little different as it is pre-coated in a rosin flux – fast and well suited for soldering repairs, cleanup, and part removal. Finally, adding to our rare earth magnet collection, we have another round disc magnet. This one is much larger, measuring 18mm diameter and 3mm thick.

Product Of The Week – 25% Off!
Product of the Week is our large Continuous Rotation Servo. These specialized servos rotate forwards or backwards continuously instead of moving to a stationary position. 25% Off until Friday at midnight – so don’t miss out!

Mean Well Switching Power Supply – 5VDC, 10A

The LRS-50-5 is a small, but powerful 50W power supply by Mean Well. This version accepts 100-240VAC and outputs 5V @ 10A. The supply features a durable metal casing, short circuit protection, overload protection, and overvoltage protection.

Pro’s Kit Repair Kit – 17 Pcs

This 17 in 1 Tool Kit is designed primarily for disassembling Apple products, however, we think this comes in handy for a lot of other hardware hacking and repairing. The kit contains a comfortable screwdriver with 13 different interchangeable bits, three types of plastic prying tool, and a suction cup.

Techspray #2 Solder Wick

Techspray 1809-5F Solder Wick is rosin flux-coated Desoldering Braid. It can be used to help de-solder components from circuit boards, remove excess solder from connections, or general cleanup. Since this wick is coated in flux, it works very quickly!

18 x 3mm Rare Earth Magnet

Strong magnets can be very useful when working with reed switches, hall effect sensors, and other electronics projects. These “Rare Earth” magnets are made from Neodymium Iron Boron and measure 18mm in diameter and 3mm thick.

New Tutorial!


Setting Up A Cron Job On The Raspberry Pi
Cron jobs are an easy way to schedule a script or program to run at specific dates and times in regular recurring cycles. In this tutorial we look at how to set one up on the Raspberry Pi. Interested? Head on over to the tutorial!
