Behold! The new and improved EggBot Pro . Hatched from the brilliant minds at Evil Mad Scientist, this new and improved version of the EggBot will have you painting spherical-egglike objects in no time. The Eggbot is designed to draw on all kinds of things that are normally impossible to print on. Light bulbs, grapefruits, wine glasses, or eggs (obviously) will all work with the Egg-Bot Kit! The EggBot Pro is a total re-imagining of the...

The "Three Fives" Discrete 555 Timer kit from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories is a faithful and functional transistor-scale replica of the classic NE555 timer integrated circuit, one of the most classic, popular, and all-around useful chips of all time. The Three Fives kit was designed by Eric Schlaepfer, in collaboration with Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. The kit is lovingly designed to resemble an (overgrown) integrated circuit,...

The "555SE" Discrete 555 Timer Kit from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories is a surface-mount soldering kit that lets you build a faithful and functional transistor-scale replica of the NE555 timer integrated circuit, one of the most classic, popular, and all-around useful chips of all time. Like its larger sibling the "Three Fives" soldering kit, the 555SE is an easy soldering kit that results in a working 555 timer,...

We took the business-card-sized AVR target board from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and added a few components to make an AVR dev board that has only the bare minimums! Comes unassembled with: Printed circuit boardBlank ATMEGA328 with internal 1 MHz oscillator selected (default)28-DIP socket6-pin ISP AVR programming header0.1uF ceramic capacitor5mm diffused red LEDResistor for LED We suggest using this board in conjunction with a USBtinyISP...

The Eggbot is an open-source art robot that can draw on spherical or egg-shaped objects from the size of a ping pong ball to that of a small grapefruit-- roughly 1.25 to 4.25 inches in diameter (3 - 10 cm). The Eggbot is super adjustable, and is designed to draw on all kinds of things that are normally "impossible" to print on. Not just eggs but ping pong balls, light bulbs, mini pumpkins, and even things like wine glasses-- with a bit...

The Bulbdial Clock kit is based on an original design concept from IronicSans.com and developed at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. It works like an indoor sundial, but with three shadows of different length. You tell the time just like you do on a normal clock, by reading the positions of the hour, minute, and second hands. The bulbdial we are carrying comes with red, green and blue LEDs for the 'hands', a black/smoke laser-cut...

Evil Mad Scientist Labs never disappoints with their fantastic kits and clocks. The Alpha Clock Five is no exception: An awesome alarm clock soldering kit-- featuring five crazy-bright, crazy huge 2.3" alphanumeric LED displays in red, a Chronodot RTC (for precise quartz timing, complete with battery backup) and a handsome laser-cut acrylic case. These big 18-segment alphanumeric LED displays are notoriously difficult to drive-- there are...

Octolively modules are tileable, digital interactive LED surfaces filled with ultrabright LEDs that respond in complex and gentle ways to stimulus provided by human interaction. Each Octolively module is 4 X 8 inches (10.16 X 20.32 cm) in size, and features eight huge (10 mm) ultrabright LEDs, spaced along a two-inch grid. Each Octolively module also has eight infrared proximity sensors-- one for every LED --to detect nearby motion, even in...

The Art Controller is a multitalented, stand-alone relay module with microcontroller based timing and logic. Easier to adjust and more versatile than most other low-cost time-delay relay modules, the Art Controller can switch AC or DC loads and is reprogrammable to handle the most specialized applications. The Art Controller gets its name from its inspiration. It was originally suggested by San Francisco Bay Area kinetic artists Christopher T....

The "XL741" Discrete Operational Amplifier kit from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories is a faithful and functional transistor-scale replica of the μA741 op-amp integrated circuit, the classic and ubiquitous analog workhorse. An Operational Amplifier, or "op-amp" as they are commonly known, is one of the most useful and common types of analog electronic circuit building blocks and the XL741 kit was designed by Eric...

The WaterColorBot is a friendly art robot that moves a paint brush to paint your digital artwork onto paper, using a set of watercolor paints. WaterColorBot is a collaborative project from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories and Super Awesome Sylvia. Starting with vector artwork on your computer — or following along as you sketch in real time — the WaterColorBot dips its brush in water, goes and gets the right color of paint, and paints...

It's the coolest LED Hanukkah Menorah ever from our buds at Evil Mad Scientist Labs! It's a soldering kit! It's USB powered! It's programmable! It even has a gratuitous red-green blinking mode! (Ahem.) Mega Menorah 9000 Features: Nine bright RGB LEDs that light up in sequence to indicate the night of HanukkahSelectable LED colorTwo brightness levelsOptional "candle flicker" display modeA unique...

The AxiDraw V3  from Evil Mad Scientist is a simple, modern, precise, and versatile pen plotter, capable of writing or drawing on almost any flat surface. It can write with your favorite fountain pens, permanent markers, and other writing implements to handle an endless variety of applications. Its unique design features a writing head that extends beyond the machine, making it possible to draw on objects bigger than the machine...
