Online Store Update

The online store has been going through a few upgrades. The most notable is that we now have an inexpensive shipping option for very light packages (such as packages of LEDs, our LED Rainbow product). The $3.95 shipping option for the light packages is automatically presented when you have a light package to ship.

The other big news is that for Ontario / Canadian orders, we no longer charge any tax. That's right, there is no tax on any orders on our system. This went into effect on July 1.

And the winner is...

During the month of June, guests to PCBoard.ca were invited to enter the contest for a chance to win an Apple iPad. Today the winner was chosen from all those that entered. The winner of the iPad for June is Samuel A. from Sarasota, Florida. Samuel has been contacted and will receive his package later in the week and has assured us that he will send pictures of his unboxing of his new toy. Samuel entered a total of twice into the contest, with his winning entry occurring on June 18.

With the draw completed for June, we expect to have another draw coming up in August. Keep an eye out for more details as we get closer.

The New LED Rainbow Is Here

We are very pleased to announce the latest release of our LED Rainbow system. The latest release features a completed redesigned board which now includes rising clamp terminal blocks to speed connections to the outputs and power, along with a power indicator LED. The LED Rainbow has continued to be our most popular product and continues to grow in popularity. The controller utilizes PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control three outputs or RGB LEDs. The effects generated from the unit are nothing short of stunning. We now have a short video production of the LED Rainbow in operation. The unit was concealed into a standard home lighting fixture and a frosted-globe lens placed on top, which produces a spectacular display.

LED Rainbow Has A YouTube Video and Instructable

We are pleased to announce our first Instructable, on the assembly of the LED Rainbow system. This is a step-by-step guide on the assembly of this unit. Be sure to stop by the Instructable site today and have a look at the construction guide.
