Thank you for your support with the free trainings and the ongoing inspiration of makers, future inventors and engineers, and educators like myself who are always attempting to find ways to integrate TechEd into curriculum. Andy Lindsay was again a superstar in presenting a detailed scaffolded series of lessons that could be used easily work […]
Place an online order with Parallax and get a free P2-EC keychain! Use these keychains for your office keys if you design products, or use them for your home keys if your interest is a hobby! Offer available to domestic orders only since we can’t simply “throw these into an international order” due to the […]
The Propeller 2 is the most awesome microcontroller I can get my hands on, so last year in January, I built one hundred modular mechatronics kits using the P2 Edge. This year, I’m making a book and planning a kit with Parallax. We haven’t blown out a single Smart Pin which is a testament to […]
Expect Popular Robot Kits to be Out of Stock Parallax is experiencing significant supply chain shortages with key components (including servo motors and microcontrollers) used in the following robot kits: Shield-Bot with Arduino Boe-Bot USB and Boe-Bot Serial cyber:bot with micro:bit and cyber:bot without micro:bit Between April and July 2022, we are expecting these kits […]
Hello Robo-heads! Parallax manufactures many accessories compatible with our small robot chassis (i.e., the rectangular aluminum folded robot body we use everywhere). The processor on top could be about anything we offer (Propeller 1, BASIC Stamp 2, micro:bit, or Arduino) as most accessories work with all of our supported microcontrollers. Educators can “level up” their […]
The lead times on the power supply components in the P2-EC and P2-EC32MB modules were recently extended to over a year so we’ve redesigned both products to use available components. The specifications for the power supply ratings remain the same. The projected in-stock date for both modules is the second half of May 2022. If […]
King’s College London recently released Strype, a frame-based editor for Python that offers a programming environment for the micro:bit. The Strype editor combines the benefits of Python text-based editing and block-based editing. It offers similar avoidance of syntax errors and discoverability as block-based systems while providing readability and flexibility of editing similar to text editors. […]
Hello Community! Every year, before we count our inventory, we try to clean up the warehouse from items that sell slowly, have been discontinued, or that we can’t make anymore due to component availability (a big issue this year). This year we’ve got about $75,000 of inventory to sell at a 25-75% discount. Each product […]
Note: This Quick Byte is an application of the IoT Gateway’s email feature using a CM2302 Temperature and Humidity Sensor. A Propeller 2 Live Forum on YouTube provides a detailed presentation of the entire IoT Gateway (as of February 2022). The complete, detailed, setup process of the full P2 IoT Gateway on a Raspberry Pi […]
This is Parallax’s 25th year serving educators and students in robotics, coding, and electronics! To celebrate, we wish to inspire and motivate more students by helping you run the classroom they’ll remember! We’re now accepting 150 motivated educators to apply for one of our two workshop tracks for Shield-Bot (Arduino C) or cyber:bot with micro:bit […]
