Need A Propeller Dip and PropPlug for $25?

Publison

Here is my erco deal.

MCM Electronic has the Propeller Education kit on sale for $24.99. Shipping is steep at 8 bucks, but you get a Dip Chip AND a PropPlug for almost cost. All the other stuff is bonus. Also comes with Andy's spiral bound book, another bonus!

I brought this up, not to take away from Parallax sales, but to bring up the possibilities to put an Education Kit under the tree for four kids, instead of one.

PS: They said it was a Friday sale, but I just ordered one at the $25 price, and it show it's in stock.

Dagnabbit!

I literally just bought a PropPlug from Mouser with a few other things.

mindrobots

Prop plug - $15
Propeller - $8
Nice box - $8 (around that from Home Depot or WalMart)
Breadboards - $10
Andy's book - Priceless (couldn't resist!)

all the rest is gravy!!

What a great opportunity for a STEM educator to pick up some great materials!

Almost makes wish I knew some kids I liked!

(free shipping over $199!! - don't ask me how I know)

Rick, That's what I was thinking, STEM teachers on a tight budget.

And here's the same thing on Micro Center's dime:

Now it's not the same deal as you found folks, but it is a head start of sorts.

Strange? Is that erco's wandering robot in your garage? He was last seen in two places, and one is in Oz.....

Just happened to have a kid ask me ask me today to get started on bots.

Its out of stock but they let me order for $25. I wonder if it will be back in stock within 9999 days?

I guess they only had a couple in stock at the price. Sorry 'bout that.

Thanks for pointing out this deal. My kit just arrived today. It's nice to finally have a printed copy of Andy's manual. Maybe if I read it I'll finally understand how to program the Propeller! :-)

Mine arrived yesterday, but I'm 900 miles away from it right now.
