Let's go over the numbers for Free Day 2012
Free Day is only a week away! Are you ready?
SparkFun is committed to open source - not just in terms of hardware, but content and software as well.
Take prototyping to the next level with the ProtoSnap!
SparkFun visits various factories and the electronics market in Shenzhen, China.
We have bags chock full of pick-and-place goodies.
A delicious flame-tinged treat.
SparkFun gets a super fan. How do we deal with the copying of our images and designs without permission? We don't! Instead, we innovate that much faster.
A whole new version of sparkfun.com is released! Wish lists! Other stuff! New server hardware! Plus a visualization of the development of the entire code base up to this point.
Nathan Seidle tells the story of SparkFun, how we got started and why we do what we do.
With our powers combined, you can make your project complete (and extra awesome)!
ON Semiconductor lets us know that the fake ATmega328s are actually NCP5318 buck regulators for Intel processors.
We unleash the professionals at Atmel to inspect the insides of our defunct ATmega328s. We found ON Semi written inside. Tim gives us a tour of the Failure Analysis labs at Atmel, Colorado Springs campus.
A SparkFun customer and a a local dentist investigate the ATMega328 "slugs" - with interesting findings.
SparkFun gets counterfeit parts, buys nitric acid and a microscope, finds lack of silicon.
The week has finally arrive - Free Day is this Thursday, January 7th, 2010!
We've posted a gift guide! And BlueSMiRF makes an appearance with the Canadian authorities.
SPARC International believes the SparkFun trademark is too close to the SPARC International trademark. What do you think?
I think I just overwrite the DataLogger IoT firmware was doing firmware update and accidently hit Arduino script file, instead of cool term…
Thanks for the great description! I hadn't even been aware of the existance of NNSS, though in the mid 1980s, I'd looked at LORAN-C for a…
Thanks for the L band sharing !
Over the years, I've been pretty vocal about wanting on-board RTCs, with at least the possibility of connecting something like a coin…
Not only does VBAT supply the RTC, but there’s also battery-backed RAM onboard too! With the amount of space available on the Thing Plus…
Interesting... it sort of covers one of my "hot buttons", that is having an RTC. In looking at the schematic, I noticed that the "BAT"…
But Social Engineer's LOVE him. Good job catching so many of the buttons social manipulators use, but I nearly thought Sparkfun was off…
There's a disclaimer at the very end, hopefully that's enough to keep people from attempting. Glad you liked it!
Update: I followed all of the steps listed in this guide. My computer is now virus-free! The fan keeps coming on and the hard drive is…
You need to reflash the firmware - see: https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_DataLogger/issues/3 Once you flash using that command, you can…
