This is a great embedded project from Anupam Pathak. Check out his
alarm clock blinds!
Quite possibly the coolest LEDs we have offered to date. The new
BlinkM MaxM is the BlinkM's big brother. This bad-boy of LED trios is fifty times as bright as the BlinkM and a thousand (yes, really) times as bright as a standard LED. It'll
blind you with science!
One of the best things about the Nintendo DS is its
touch screen - so now we are selling it. Add this 4-wire analog touch screen to any LCD you want.
Adding to the line of
Robotics products, this is a serial
servo controller that allows you to control up to eight servos with a simple serial interface. Each servo speed and range can be controlled independently.
A nice versatile motor controller - the
TRex Jr. This guy features three independent control interfaces: radio control (RC) servo pulses, analog voltage, and asynchronous serial.
The QTR-1RC
reflectance sensor is great for proximity and line detection. This nifty module can be read by an I/O line on any microcontroller.
These are not your average bits of hardware. This
SMT right angle spacer/nut and
SMT spacer/nut can be soldered directly onto your PCB, so you can thread a screw right onto your PCB. Limiting loose hardward = a good thing.
A simple
breakout board for the
ScreenKeys. This little guy comes with a 1k pullup on the button pin.
There is a trend right now of people making DIY high power LED flashlights and bike lights. See

(these are crazy lights some more powerful than car headlights)
Often people have to order parts from Australia. Mostly from this site:

It is not very convenient and it gets expensive for shipping.
It be nice if you guys carried some of the parts.
