We recently released a UV sensor! What can you use it for? Turns out, UV sensors have a broad range of applications, from healthcare to wastewater treatment. Learn more about all the ways UV sensors are used here!
The new SparkFun IoT Brushless Motor Driver is now available with two new Tristimulus Color Sensors equipped with an OPT4048DTSR from TI!
Using the new SparkFun ProDriver, a pair of stepper motors and some mirror acrylic, I created a solar cooker that tracks the sun as it crosses the sky, guaranteeing optimal efficiency from your solar barbecue.
I have finally gotten the hardware in (mostly) working order for my wacky fiber optic light suit. Let's check out what I've done!
Details from a project upgrading an old incandescent lamp to utilize addressable LEDs
Are you crystal, gem or mineral collector? Display them in style with an underlit display.
This visually pleasing project has endless possibilities for customization and design.
Let's figure out just how fast we can push data through APA102 pixels. Then let's look at what we can do with super fast lights.
Instead of buying expensive, one-color LED kits to attach to your helmet, use SparkFun addressable LEDs!
Don't have time to make a costume this year? We have you covered with this cute, super-quick costume for all ages!
