Maker Tape is fantastic. We stock it, of course ...

At #ASTC2022 someone said “I love paper circuits but hate copper tape!” We have the solution my friend… Maker Tape.

Does your Pico W web server code look as simple as this? https://t.co/zIQp7xikg7

@GeekMomProjects @ForrisHilier @rareblog @cheerlights @jasoncoon_ PWM can really confuse a phone camera on exposure and focus point. Longer exposure and greater depth-of-field can help, but phone cameras don't do either of those easily

We've got a new prototype of our Crazy Circuits board for the @Raspberry_Pi Pico in the works. Just a few design tweaks to test. Here's a video of our first revision in action.

@eightlines oh no!

[Elmwood Electronics 🇨🇦 @elmwoodelec]

@shmick Yes! There's a "Notify When Available" link on the Raspberry Pi Pico W product page: https://t.co/sdYL2zlLIX

[Elmwood Electronics 🇨🇦 @elmwoodelec]

@shmick Yes! Eventually, though - Approved Resellers in Canada haven't got theirs yet, and we're slightly down the queue from them ...

[Elmwood Electronics 🇨🇦 @elmwoodelec]

So we've been fending off direct emails and texts about "good quality transistors" today.

Seems that Tradewheel - @tradewheel1 - put up a spam notice with our company details on it. They probably think it's a great business opportunity, but it's fake and wastes everyone's time

So many improvements!

Circuit Playground Express: we got 'em in stock — https://t.co/vwwevgmLQO

[Elmwood Electronics 🇨🇦 @elmwoodelec]

Our suppliers have just advised us that the Microchip/Atmel ATmega328P - as used in #Arduino and many clones - is not available until the end of the year.

If we don't have stock of an ATmega328P board, we'll be unlikely to get it for you until next year

[Elmwood Electronics 🇨🇦 @elmwoodelec]

@GorillaStoreTO given what happened recently on your block, I'd consider that a threat

It's in very early development, but this Raspberry Pi eye tracker could be very useful for people who need alternative input methods — https://t.co/n9uuAWRZ6A

@biglesp I'd use a pen and paper, but you do you

After a long absence, we finally got these back in stock again: IoT Power Relay — https://t.co/zsNJGSwX2F

@itnomad @BruceHeerssen Morse input is a big thing in assistive technology because the input requirements are minimal.

Here's a switch input project from a charity I used to work for: FAIO – Feather All-in-One Switch — https://t.co/1HtBd4WyUZ

You win some, you lose some. At our Burnaby office, we keep a display of failed #3dPrints as a reminder not to put on a 24h+ print again 😅 #MistakesAreLessons

@Leeborg_ Yes, if you're comparing with the USA, we have expensive shipping. Especially to ?0? rural postal areas. Legally, CP has a monopoly on all packages under 500g in Canada.

For shipping slightly bigger things, Canada Post Flat Rate Boxes are better value.

@kaybee335 I think that's Buster Moon from Sing (2016)
