A nice box of gear just came in from the lovely folks over at Seeed Studio. The theme of this shipment seems to be water, we'e got a flow sensor, a float switch, and my personal favourite, a micro hydro generator which will let you power your projects from a running tap or the likes. Putting out 300mA at 3.6V there's plenty of power for the average micro controller project.

All of these are just itching to be hooked up to an Arduino or the more cost effective Seeeduino to create some water filled and water fuelled fun.

That brings us nicely to the other couple of goodies that were in the box; we've now got stock of...

The Seeeduino Mega which is a neat board. It's compatible with the original Arduino Mega in the sense that it uses the same Atmega1280 micro controller, but unlike the original Mega it's pin compatible with the standard Arduino. This means better compatibility with the multitude of existing Arduino Shields out there. And...

The Seeeduino Stalker, a super cool Arduino compatible board perfect for data logging, tracking etc. As well as the micro-controller it includes a Real Time Clock (RTC), microSD slot and XBee style socket. The onboard FTDI has been removed which helps save power, useful if you're running a battery powered sensor node.
