Hi,
Below got some company in Singapore that sell this:
1) Alpha Innovations Pte Ltd - They design their own controller board and development software... I previously work there ( http://www.ai.com.sg/ )
2) Robotics World - they sell the PIC/basic stamp ( http://www.roboworld.com.sg/ )
3) Sim Lim Tower (mostly on electrical, electronics and components)

Have a nice day.

Also selected shops at Sim Lim Square, which is diagonally opposite Sim Lim Towers. If you are not familiar with these places, let us know. I am sure some of us will be able to show you around. Perhaps we can also have a mini-ob session with you!

thanks weixing.
your old place is a bit too specialised
roboworld looks good. angmokio/tomson rd is a bit out of the way... may be i'll give it a try. any bus go that way?

For Electronic uC IC like PIC, kits and other tools, try Sim Lim Tower eg. a company call "Sun Light" (they DO NOT sell solar filter haha). Look for Nick.

Weixing: so you build robot previously?

You might like this sensor. I know Farnell sell this but not sure where else can get it at lower cost. http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/36916.pdf

Some shops might close/half day on 24 Dec, you can get some info and direction from this web site. If you can find their phone number, call before you go.

thanks river.
i haven't get to humidity/temp sensor yet. i'll start with a peltier cloud sensor.

i'll keep that in my library. i think there's no farnell in malaysia... RS even more expensive.

I'm looking at building a peltier cloud sensor also. Maybe we should meet up to share info when you are here!

Cheers!
