The SparkFun IN100 NanoBeacon Board offers the same 2.4GHz wireless low-energy BT beacon breakout with exceptionally low power consumption features and minimal programming required as above! However, this version is designed for applications requiring a rapid implementation with minimal assembly and modification. It includes male header through-hole pins on the board and does not include the power LED or reset button as expected applications most likely will not need those two components.

The SparkFun 4-in-1 Multi-USB Cables are four-headed cables that will ensure that you're never stuck looking for a USB cable that fits your device.

The SparkFun 4-in-1 Multi-USB Cables can transfer both power and data just like any USB cable and now comes standard with a USB hub so you will be able to connect up to four data devices at the same time! Thanks to the improvements we made to this SparkFun 4-in-1 Multi-USB Cable, you won't be running into any more issues when transferring large amounts of data (hard drives, flash drives, etc) or connecting Android and other mobile devices.

    Minor issue: "Today's Deals" is still showing SparkFun Level Shifting microSD Breakout and claiming it's 35% uff until midnight LAST NIGHT... since it's not a part I expect to need anytime soon, I'm not likely to order it, but maybe the new "deal of the week" might be something I'd want to order...
