SemiconductorStore Extends Shark Week To Rest Of Month With Free Shipping On GizmoSphere Products

HAWTHORNE, Calif. - Aug. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Developers can enjoy free shipping through August 31^st when placing orders for the Gizmo Explorer Kit through Symmetry Electronics’ website, SemiconductorStore.com. That’s because the promo that was launched in honor of Shark Week has been extended (“Shark Month,” anyone?). Tinkerers, hobbyists, embedded developers, open source enthusiasts and other technical buffs can take advantage of this free shipping offer when ordering one or more kits using a special code found with SemiconductorStore’s Shark Week ad.

As the distribution partner of GizmoSphere, the portal that caters to technical buffs involved in x86-based embedded development, Symmetry Electronics promotes and sells the $199 Gizmo Explorer Kit, a complete system solution at the forefront of the open development movement. Developers can find a wealth of resources and information, including schematics, guides, downloads, videos and more, at both the GizmoSphere and SemiconductorStore websites.

A key piece of information released this month by SemiconductorStore is a comprehensive chart that compares the Intel® Atom™ processor based Minnowboard with the AMD Embedded G-series APU based Gizmo board. After receiving feedback and doing extensive independent research, the folks at SemiconductorStore took it upon themselves to release an updated chart comparing features and capabilities, which embedded developers can review and draw their own conclusions regarding the right do-it-yourself (DIY) board for their specific projects.

Since its launch in January, GizmoSphere has been adding key pieces of information to support embedded development software and hardware engineers as well as hobbyists. With the recent addition of the Gizmo board bill of materials (BOM), Gerber files and updated schematics, GizmoSphere has released everything a developer needs to build the Gizmo board from scratch.

With so much technical information available through the websites and with free shipping through the end of the month, there’s never been a better time for DIY enthusiasts and entrepreneurs alike to purchase a Gizmo Explorer Kit.
