Although having Pi's slowly trickle in, we've also been having great success with The Rock SE & C and Orange Pi Zero2 as Pi 4 & Pi Zero alternatives. Both on hand, with features not on the original Pi.

Pssst. We managed to get a handful of Raspberry Pi 4 -2GB in the store. We're not even putting them up online. If you want one, better come down and get one sooner than later!
Well, that's a minor Christmas miracle - we've got a few Raspberry Pi 4 4GB & 8GB in stock at the store! No doubt there's a silicon shortage, so if you're after a Pi, come on in sooner than later!
Behold - the rare Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB!

Just in time for the holidays - Creality fans, BLTouch, Steppers, Capricorn, and Ender-3 TENT enclosures (Think: Stocking stuffers!). In store shortly!
Creality goodies - oh yeah....

Relays! We've been increasing our lineup of most-often requested relays and relay-control modules. Nothing like the /click-clack/ of controlling major power! Here's a few: bit.ly/34LuDkr
FINALLY in stock in-store at Active-Tech Calgary, the Pi Pico! $12.95/ea
Wheee! 7-color e-ink Raspberry Pi Displays are fascinating. Available up at the Active-Tech storefront. (It takes substantially more work to get new product onto the website!)

Ender-6! Just a demo unit we're testing out, but it's... feeling pretty slick. Not a fan of cantilever designs tho.
Well these look useful! 18650-based bottom-mounted UPS/Colomb-meter for the Raspberry Pi, $44.15/ea. Now in stock in-store!
We had one supplier find us a good deal on 3-Ply masks. $22.50 per 50-lot (bagged in sets of 10) box. That's only $0.45/ea!

What's a "#tagmo" or "#amiibo"? I dunno...but we've had requests for these NFG NTAG215 sticker tags at the store. They're in now! (Yup, a white, round technosticker)
NTAG215 NFC Tag. No, it's not a vaccine patch ouchy-cover.

Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB! Now in stock at our Calgary store! But no new hirez cameras yet. Dumb shortages... #YYC #raspberrypi
(and we'll have some move up to the Calgary store ASAP!)

3D Filament! We just got our shipment in, and we're sorting and labeling it all. We'll be shipping backorders out tomorrow!
We've been requests for what our Filament inventory status is. Spreadsheet-time... bit.ly/3aYcLVi
Got our latest shipment of Isopropyl Alcohol. We now have some supply of 1litre 99.95% and 475mL-squeeze-trigger 70/30% in stock. 1 per customer. #calgary
Here's Michael modeling our less-than-2M social distancing strategy in our compact store. We're not as much "face-shield" as we are "boy-in-the-bubble" #Calgary #CalgaryBusiness

Besides supporting industry, we're also able to offer some ...distractions... for the other junior members of your household. (micro::bit is pretty cool, btw) bit.ly/2wNWbIH #calgary
bit.ly/2UTNS5Y belongs to the HQ in Vancouver and is closed. We're still open in Calgary (supporting essential services). Shop visually, and call in your order.
