Whether you're developing your own project, or building one of our project kits, sometimes thing don't go as smoothly as you'd like. Enter our new Digital Auto Ranging Multimeter.

Last week, the newest member of our Team went down to see the guys at CEL Robox for some training on how to use the Robox 3D Printer to its best abilities.

This week, we are powering ahead by introducing 4 new motors. These motors are ideal for a variety of applications that include low current solar power.

Learn how to add a PCB LED to a beanie hat using conductive thread in our easy to follow tutorial.

We had the pleasure of seeing and supporting a number of NTU undergraduate E-Textiles projects from the initial designs right through to the final stages. We loved working with the students and are really impressed with the level of detail that went into each design.

We are proud to be bringing you a huge expansion to our Perspex range now including 5mm thickness Opaque and Fluorescent and new 3mm Transparent colours.

Learn how to make a soft battery holder with a soft, fabric pouch for holding a 3V battery. Select from and use a wider, more complex range of materials, taking into account their properties.

This is a simple tutorial demonstrating how to use a Kitronik edge connector breakout with the BBC microbit. The tutorial will cover measuring ambient light levels with an LDR and dimming an LED correspondingly.

This is a simple tutorial demonstrating how to use an analogue input with the BBC micro:bit. The BBC micro:bit is able to read analogue voltages from sensors like Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) and Thermistors. This tutorial uses the analogue read function to change the colour of a tri-colour LED to correspond to the temperature of the thermistor. A thermistor is a special type of resistor that changes its resistance as it gets warmer.

This week, we are expanding our Solar cells including new and improved 1.5, 2 and 5V Polycrystalline solar cells. These cells are more efficient in the unpredictable British weather.

This year so far has been a year of celebration: we are currently celebrating our 10th Birthday with the added bonus of celebrating the sale of our millionth home produced kit here in Nottingham.

Earlier this month the BBC micro:bit was launched at New Broadcasting House and a couple of days later Geoff took it to show teachers at the D&T Association summer school. We look back at the event here.
