In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton, Mark Grierson from Digi, and Rob (our Rob) explore how Digi and SparkFun are working together to make cellular connected IoT design easier than ever before.
Have you ever wanted to build your own phone from scratch? Preferably on the most ubiquitous electronics prototyping platform for maximum flexibility and minimum ergonomics? Now you can!
The SparkFun LTE Stick, which utilizes the LARA-R6 from u-blox, is now available to transmit voice AND data over cellular IoT in North America.
