October SchmartBoard Special

Free Third Hand with every $50 purchase of SchmartBoards!. Have you ever needed another hand? Perhaps have used your mouth or toes to hold something. There has to be a better, more sanitary way. And there is! With every $50 order of Schmartboards in October from the SchmartBoard website or from U.S. or Canadian distributors, we will send you a third hand. Click here for further details.

New SchmartBoard Clearance Center

Everyone loves a sale. We are now clearing away some discontinued items such as our Variable Power Regulator board and some SchmartBoards that were supposed to be EZ, but did not come out of the factory that way. It is like our "Island of Misfit Toys" for PCBs. (I’m impressed if you understand that reference).

PIC Projects

We have begun to post some simple, but useful projects for users of our PIC board. Our Stepper Motor project has also been published by Nuts and Volts Magazine. If you'd like to add to our projects for PIC, Parallax or just general electronics contact us with your idea. We will give you full credit and some free boards to build the project.

Fun Project

We found this very cool project online that uses SchmartBoards. When we sell our boards, especially online, we sometimes wonder what people are building or designing. Is it something common or mundane; is it something that will change the world? or is it something that is just plain cool? If you find or produce a project that uses SchmartBoard and have posted videos or photos, let us know and we’ll post them in a future newsletter.
