The Mendocino Motor AR O-8 is a magnetically levitated, solar powered electric motor as a kit.
Light Becomes Movement
The solar-powered Mendocino motor seems to float in the air. At first glance, you can't see why the rotor is turning at all. This is the magic of the motor.
The Lorentz force is a very small electrical force. In a classroom setting, it is detected by a current swing in the magnetic field. With the Mendocino motor, we have succeeded in developing a beautiful application that uses this weak force for propulsion. Due to its concealed base magnet, the motor will fascinate technically inclined observers.
In bright sunlight, the motor can reach a speed of up to 1,000 rpm. More impressive, however, is that even the faint glow of an ample tea light (D = 6 cm with a flame height of about 2 cm) is sufficient to drive the motor. The motor is not yet an alternative source of energy, even though it looks tempting. Presumably, it will remain an attractive model until a resourceful mind disproves this assumption.
Dimensions
All solar cells 65 x 20 mm
Mirror diameter: 25 mm
Rotor weight: approx. 150 g
Model length: 160 mm
Model width: 85 mm
Frame height: approx. 85 mm
Frame material: black acrylic
Tube made of highly polished aluminum
Mirror color: silver
The Mendocino motor’s easy-to-follow instruction manual includes more than 70 illustrations. It describes a safe and practical approach to construction but also gives you the freedom to try your solutions.
Partly Pre-Assembled Kit
A portion of the kit comes pre-assembled. Bonding the borosilicate glass pane to the acrylic surface requires specialized knowledge and aids. We do not want to impose this on the hobbyist. For instance, the base magnet is attached to the aluminum tube.
As a hobbyist, you will need some know-how and appropriate tools: carpet knife, soldering iron and tin, hot glue, pliers, and a clamp or ferrule to fix the supplied assembly aid. A lot of fun is guaranteed!

Raspberry Pi Pico is a great solution for servo control. With the hardware PIO, the Pico can control the servos by hardware, without usage of times/ interrupts, and limit the usage of the MCU. Driving the six servos on this robotic arm takes very little MCU capacity, so the MCU can deal with other tasks easily. This 6 DOF robotic arm is a handy tool for teaching and learning robotics and Pico usage. There are five MG996s (four are needed in the assembly and one for backup) and three 25-kg servos (two needed in the assembly and one for backup). Note that for the servos the angle ranges from 0° to 180°. All the servos need to be preset to 90° (with logic HIGH 1.5 ms duty) before the assembly to avoid servo damage during movement. This product includes all the necessary items needed to create a robotic arm based on Pico and Micropython.

The Robotics Board features 2 Dual H Bridge Motor Driver ICs. These are capable of driving 2 standard motors or 1 stepper motor each, with full forward, reverse, and stop control. There are also 8 servo outputs, capable of driving standard and continuous rotation servos. They can all be controlled by the Pico using the I²C protocol, via a 16 channel driver IC. The IO break out provides connections to all the unused pins on the Pico. The 27 available I/O pins allow other devices, such as sensors or ZIP LEDs, to be added to the board. Power is provided via either a terminal block or servo style connector. The supply is then controlled by an on/off power switch to the board and there is also a green LED to indicate when the board has power. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply which is fed into the 3 V and GND connections to power the connected Pico. This removes the need to power the Pico separately. The 3 V and GND pins are also broken out on the header, which means external devices can also be powered. To use the robotics board, the Pico should be firmly inserted into the dual row pin socket on the board. Ensure the Pico is inserted with the USB connector at the same end as the power connectors on the robotics board. This will allow access to all of the board functions and each pin is broken out. Features A compact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your Raspberry Pi Pico robotics projects. The board can drive 4 motors (or 2 stepper motors) and 8 servos, with full forward, reverse, and stop control. It also features 27 other I/O expansion points and Power and Ground connections. The I²C communication lines are also broken out allowing other I²C compatible devices to be controlled. This board also features an on/off switch and power status LED. Power the board via either a terminal block or servo style connector. The 3V and GND pins are also broken out on the Link header, allowing external devices to be powered. Code it with MicroPython or via an editor such as the Thonny editor. 1 x Kitronik Compact Robotics Board for Raspberry Pi Pico Dimensions: 68 x 56 x 10 mm Requires Raspberry Pi Pico board

The Elektor Laser Head transforms the Elektor Sand Clock into a clock that writes the time on glow-in-the-dark film instead of sand. In addition to displaying the time, it can also be used to create ephemeral drawings. The 5 mW laser pointer, with a wavelength of 405 nm, produces bright green drawings on the glow-in-the-dark film. For best results, use the kit in a dimly lit room. Warning: Never look directly into the laser beam!
The kit includes all the necessary components, but soldering three wires is required.
Note: This kit is also compatible with the original Arduino-based Sand Clock from 2017. For more details, see Elektor Magazine 1-2/2017 and Elektor Magazine 1-2/2018.
Easy to solder real time watch kit with a unique laser cut acrylic casing. Four individual acrylic parts cut to fit the internal PCB, battery and switch perfectly. Included is a velcro wrist band. After soldering the Solder:Time, the watch is built by stacking the acrylic parts with the PCB and holding it together with the included screws.
The Solder:Time was designed to be a wrist watch. It doesn't have to be limited to living on your wrist, you could also use it as a badge or desk clock.

Get started with microcontroller based electronics
This Arduino-compatible bundle contains the Motherboard, Digitiser, Sensor Array and RGB Matrix. With these 4 boards you have everything you need to build a clock, score counter, timer, task reminder, thermometer, humidity display, sound meter, light meter, clap trigger, colored bar graph display, animated alarm, and much more!
The Motherboard has a built in real time clock module that keeps time even when unplugged.
The Digitiser can display 4 digits or characters and includes 2 buttons and a potentiometer to let you control what’s being displayed, or the brightness of the display.
The Sensor Array can read temperature, relative humidity, sound and light, with an SD card slot for data recording.
The RGB Matrix has 16 RGB LEDs that are controlled through shift registers, so only use 3 or 4 pins of the Motherboard.
Motherboard
The Motherboard is an Arduino-compatible microcontroller breakout board designed around the ATmega328P. The board comes in a solder-it-yourself kit with all the components you need to get started with microcontroller based electronics. All other boards connect to this.
