Breadboard and RPi Specials at Tanner Electronics

Off Topic MakerTrade
#1

Tanner Electronics has a big bunch of breadboards they are really trying to unload. The posted price is higher but for DMS members the price is $4.00. The breadboards have 630 tie points which is a great size for hobby projects. I use this size for my Arduino class kits. Extra breadboards are great. I seldom really finish projects. I would rather grab a spare breadboard than rip out a previous project.

The last I heard, they still a few Raspberry Pi 2B-s and PiFaces. Is the PiFace beautiful only because it has a bunch of LEDs, relays, screw terminals, open collector outputs and more? Ask for the latest revision.

[Edit: Corrected the number to 630 tie points]

One word of caution about those Radio Shack breadboards: the power bus bars along both edges are isolated in the middle. You have to jumper between them if you want them to run the entire length.

I suppose some will call that a feature if they have more than a single +V and ground.

I like the weighted base that these come with! I need to pick up one or two.

Wish I’d known about the discount. I paid full price for one of them a couple weeks ago. Not sure what I’ll do with it yet, but the price was really good.

I picked up several of them while at lunch a few minutes ago. They also have a bunch of used/tested Raspberry PI 2’s for $6.95 in a bin up front. Also a bunch of different DIN rail mount power supplies.

The MakerSpace price is $5. The Raspi PI Faces is $4.

I totally missed the breadboards today and Monday.

Are you saying they are sold out on the breadboards or that you did not see them?

Jimmy went to the warehouse and grabbed me some. There were a few on the shelves by the magazine rack at the front of the store. Actually several of the items I bought were retrieved from the warehouse or back office area so what is out on the shelf or on display may not be the total inventory. The breadboard kits I bought were in a brown cardboard box about 8x12x2 inches. Easy to overlook on the shelf.
