FPGAs are ubiquitous in "traditional" engineering, but still have only a small stake in DIY culture. Here are a couple of projects that are changing that.
Dave and Mike launch a red SparkFun box on a weather balloon to the edge of the atmosphere.
Build your own Vacuum Molding machine and start making plastic parts in your home shop!
SparkFun is committed to open source - not just in terms of hardware, but content and software as well.
So you want an Arduino compatible microcontroller with a small footprint? Look no further!
Another new product post for the Maker Faire weekend. We also announce the answer to last week's contest.
Another week, another new product post. How many products can we carry? As many as you want us to!
It hurts so good! We're getting ready for Free Day 2011. Pocket $100 worth of free stuff! Free Day has a few twists this year. It'll will be upon us on January 13th. We're opening up our doors and letting anyone take $100 worth of free goodies.
