Around oomlout hq we're gearing up for the Christmas season. Working hard on adding a few fun new products (arriving shortly), posting orders, and making sure we keep as many items as we can in stock (all items shown as in stock will ship within 24 hours (on week-days)). Luckily the good folks at Royal Mail and The Post Office are working just as hard, making sure every package gets to its destination as quickly as possible. With that in mind ordering earlier is advised but here are the absolute limits for ensuring your oomlout order gets in the post...

Familiar with .NET development, or looking for something a bit more powerful than an Arduino? The Netduino is an open source electronics platform using the .NET Micro Framework. Features: The Arduino like form factor means many Arduino shields are compatible. Programable using the freely downloadable Microsoft Visual C# Express. 32-Bit Microcontroller gives you some impressive computing power. Great online community to help out if you hit any snags. Looking to get started? - try one of our Experimentation Kits More Details (HERE)

Interested in making neat stuff with a Netduino but not sure where to start? This kit includes all the pieces needed to complete 11 different circuits, along with an experimenter's guide booklet & breadboard layout sheets. Basically everything you need to be playing within minutes of its arrival. Features: 11 circuits to explore micro-controller basics. Covering LEDs, transistors, motors, integrated circuits, pushbuttons, variable resistors, photo resistors, temperature sensors & relays. Comes with a Netduino prototyping bundle to make constructing your circuits and future projects easy. Printed copy of the Netduino Experimenter's Guide means no need to flip between on-screen windows....

Ever since we came across this amazing technique for laser cutting hinges we've been thinking about what we could do with it. Our initial result is a slightly modified version of our Project Box for Arduino (ADBO), with the bolt rounded corners replaced by lovely plywood arcs. We're really excited about what's possible with this technique and will experment further. However if you'd like to make one of these boxes please find the various required files below: Want to Make Your Own: On thingiverse (thingiverse.com) Parts Outline (dxf) Mechanical Reference (pdf) More Files and Formats (thingiverse.com)

At the heart of oomlout lie a lot of spreadsheets. We're not proud of this fact, but we have decided to start embracing it. When agressivly spreadsheet'ing it's often neccesary to have many sheets open at once. Having outgrown dual monitors we searched for a solution. Finding nothing easily purchasable we decided to build our own dual monitor stand. Want to make your own: On Thingiverse(thingiverse.com) Parts Outlines(dxf) More Files and Formats(directory)
