Play with the site pages, but be careful when you intend to order. The impressum "About Us" has neither a phone number nor an adress (since Februar 2014) ...

Seeed are reliable folk. I've bought many things from them over the years. Sensors, parts, etc. Though not custom PCBs.

Hey does anyone know where I can find some door sensors similar to the ones here that work with the Arduino? http://www.enviromon.net/door-security-sensors/

Looking to create a simple monitor that will track opens and closes of a door for our server room that will work with Arduino because its the cheapest method ive found, plus gives me a bit of a hobby to work on in freebasic.

Any ideas?
