We take a look at Makeblock\u2019s next gen offering for their aluminum extrusion based construction platform, and then we look at several interesting products that you\u2019ll want to add to your tool set.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/images\/makeblock1.jpg?1376617012857\" width=\"541\" height=\"190\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Makeblock is back with a new and improved suite of products. After much thought and review, the Makeblock team decided to redesign their products and bring us a more versatile collection of kits and parts. They have four core kits that can accommodate every type of user from the beginner to the serious lab inventor. The starter kit enables you to make a basic two-wheel driverobot platform and each kit builds on more complex features from there. The lab robot kit is a conglomeration of all of the kits plus tons of extension parts, including two stepper motors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-starter-robot-kit-blue-p-1567.html\">Makeblock Starter Robot Kit \u2013Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-advanced-robot-kit-blue-p-1568.html\">Makeblock Advanced Robot Kit \u2013 Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-ultimate-robot-kit-blue-p-1569.html\">Makeblock Ultimate Robot Kit \u2013 Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-lab-robot-kit-blue-p-1570.html\">Makeblock Lab Robot Kit \u2013 Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of these kits is that you\u2019re not tied down to one design. You can construct them into any number of different configurations. If you need to add on, there are several different expansion packs, as listed below. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-short-beam-0824-robot-pack-blue-p-1571.html?cPath=48\">Short Beam kit<\/a> is one of my favorites because it allows you to construct more compact projects. While the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-motion-robot-pack-blue-p-1574.html?cPath=48\">Motion Robot pack<\/a> lets you add on wheels and timer belts. Currently the kits and expansion packs only come in blue, but we anticipate more colors to come in the near future.If you already have the previous version of Makeblock products, don\u2019t worry. The new versions are backwards compatible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-short-beam-0824-robot-pack-blue-p-1571.html\">Makeblock Short Beam 0824 Robot Pack \u2013 Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-medium-beam-0824-robot-pack-blue-p-1572.html\">Makeblock Medium Beam 0824 Robot Pack \u2013 Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-long-beam0824-robot-pack-p-1573.html\">Makeblock Long Beam 0824 Robot Pack \u2013 Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-motion-robot-pack-blue-p-1574.html\">Makeblock Motion Robot Pack \u2013 Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-servo-robot-pack-blue-p-1575.html\">Makeblock Servo Robot Pack \u2013 Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/makeblock-25mm-dc-motor-pack-blue-p-1576.html\">Makeblock 25mm DC Motor Pack &#8211; Blue<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/images\/product\/grove%20camera_04.jpg\" width=\"336\" height=\"252\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have a new edition to the Grove family, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/grove-mini-camera-p-1578.html\">Grove \u2013 Mini Camera<\/a>. It\u2019s a compact camera module that includes its own integrated image processing. This makes ita perfect complement to the Arduino which is not beefy enough to support high resolution graphics. The camera includes an SD slot for storing the 1280 x 720 JPEG images, and there\u2019s a USB port so you can download your pictures. Here at Seeed we\u2019re incorporating this module into a Google glass-like wearable camera, using Xadow Main Board for the microcontroller. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/images\/product\/5200ethernet.jpg\" width=\"336\" height=\"252\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new and improved <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/ethernet-shield-p-518.html?cPath=19_17\">Ethernet Shield<\/a> is here, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/w5200-ethernet-shield-p-1577.html\">W5200 Ethernet Shield<\/a>. This upgrade packs quite a punch. It includes the next gen W5200 Ethernet controller from Wiznet which has double the buffer size and can accommodate up to eight simultaneous TCP\/UDP connections. It also has an SD slot which gives you more space to store data. Want to stack on more shields? It\u2019s not a problem with the lower profile minimal RJ45 Ethernet port. This is the way to go if you want to add instant internet connectivity to your project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/images\/product\/nokia.jpg\" width=\"336\" height=\"252\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes displays can be costly, but we now offer a refurbished <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/nokia-5100-lcd-module-p-1566.html\">Nokia 5100 LCD Module<\/a>. It is a low-cost but comparatively good display for a DIY project and accepts standard 3V \u2013 5V power.\u00a0 It is widely used in the open-source community, so there are a lot of reference documents and tutorials on how to use it. Plus, don\u2019t forget this is a green solution, so it\u2019s a good choice for the environment too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Until next time, keep on making.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">(written by Erin Linke)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Product Post this week is short and sweet.
