NEW PRODUCTS
Aluminum Hub Mounts
ServoCity’s 0.770 hub pattern has now been incorporated into their new line of aluminum hub mounts. Integrating
both 6-32 tapped and .140” through holes (in the hub
pattern), and 6-32 tapped base mounting holes provides for
countless attachment possibilities. Constructed from 6061-T6
aluminum for superior strength, these mounts won’t easily
flex or bow. The 1/2” bore makes it simple to incorporate
shafting and tubing into a project design. Starting at $4.49,
they are offered in many styles and configurations.
Heavy Duty Robot Wheels
ServoCity also recently added a new line of robot wheels to their expanding product selection. The hard surface
wheels offer combined high load capacity with low rolling
resistance. The foam wheels work well for applications that
require high traction and quiet running. The 3” and the 5”
wheels are offered in gray, blue, and orange; the heavy-duty
and foam wheels are currently offered in black.
All wheels are compatible with ServoCity’s line of
aluminum hubs and adaptors. Starting at $2.59, these wheels
can be used in applications such as designing a mobile robot,
a camera slider, or a wheeled platform.

Arduino Compatible chipKIT
uC32 Development Platform and
Wi-Fi Shield
18 SERVO 04.2013
Microchip Technology, Inc., has announced the jointly developed chipKIT™ uC32™ open source
development platform, which is based on Microchip’s 32-bit
PIC32 microcontroller, as well as the chipKIT Wi-Fi® Shield.
Digilent’s chipKIT uC32 development board has the same
form factor as their chipKIT Uno32™ board, with the
addition of larger memory (512 KB Flash and up to 32 KB
RAM).
The uC32 board provides a single general-purpose
development platform for users to create a wide range of
32-bit MCU-based applications using the free Arduino™
compatible chipKIT IDE called the Multi-Platform IDE, or
MPIDE. The chipKIT Wi-Fi shield enables users to implement
wireless projects with the chipKIT line of microcontroller
