Happy Women's History Month! Today we're sharing the story of Hedy Lamarr, who was a Hollywood actress in the 1940s as well as an inventor who holds the patent for frequency hopping, which is used in wireless communications today like WiFi and Bluetooth!
Yesterday, we released the Thing+ Matter. Today, we take a look at it and the rest of our new products for the week!
The first easily accessible board that combines Matter and SparkFun’s Qwiic ecosystem for new IoT development is here!
Two new Air Velocity Sensor Qwiic Kits are now available! Also be sure to check out the new Raspberry Pi Debug Probe and Kitronik Servos Board, too!
Computer scientist and engineer Mark Dean is credited with helping develop multiple major technologies, among them the Industry Standard Architecture system bus, the color PC monitor and the first gigahertz chip. Learn more about his history with IBM and his breakthroughs in computer engineering here!
Two new IN100 NanoBeacon Boards are now available with the newest versions of our Cerberus USB Cables.
This year, SparkFun turns 20. Take a look back with us at the last two decades and share what our top products were each year! Which ones do you have in your workshop?
A new Analog MEMs Microphone Breakout is now available as well as two new 5V Buck Regulators.
February is Black History Month, and we want to take some time to highlight the work of black scientists and engineers whose work influences our industry and the world around us. Today we want to tell you about Otis Boykin, an engineer and inventor who holds numerous patents for electrical components, including one for the wire precision resistor!
The SparkFun Blues Wireless MicroMod Starter Kit is now available, MyoWare 2.0 is back, and plenty of other new products are here this week!
Our new Qwiic-enabled Audio Codec Breakout is now available with a new version of our Hot-Air Rework Station!
Here's a roundup of some great IoT projects from our community and others on Hackster, using the Blues Wireless Notecard, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ultrasonic sensors, Edge Impulse, and more. Take a look and get inspired for your next project!
Two new versions of the STTS22H Temperature sensor are now available with a new version of the updated LiPo Fuel Gauge!
SparkFun is joining Arm and Silicon Labs for a Tech Talk next week on all things Matter. Learn how to register, what IoT topics you'll learn about, and how to enter our Thing Plus Matter giveaway!
A new version of the SparkFun Sensor Kit is now available and we have Raspberry Pi's newest camera modules!
One of the cool new sensors we learned about at CES is the BMV080 - it is the smallest particulate matter sensor available and has several applications to support monitoring indoor and outdoor air quality. Bosch Sensortec had a couple of demos at their booth to demonstrate the capabilities of the sensor.
