As we say farewell to 2022, let's take a look in the rearview mirror at all the exciting moments at SparkFun that made this year one to remember.
We are off this weekend in observation of the final nights of Hanukkah and Christmas! We'll be back on Tuesday, December 27th!
When creating a proof of concept model, simplicity is usually the modus operandi. However, when you get an idea for a project requiring a POC, and at the same time you’re also hit by the holiday spirit, why not let yourself be guided by both?
We wanted to see just how tossed around the packages we send out for the holidays get, so we set up an experiment. Follow Mariah and Cassy as they set out to see what really goes on in those delivery trucks!
Take a one-question quiz for your chance to win an ugly sweater or an ML @ Home Kit!
Today is National Radio Day, and we've got tons of exciting info for you about radio, as well as some of our own radio tuner boards on sale!
Yesterday was the last day to place orders to receive them in time for December 24th. What do the next two weeks look like for SparkFun?
Today only, we're giving away an NVIDIA-branded holiday sweater and SparkFun Machine Learning @ Home Kit to three lucky winners via Instagram!
All good things must come to an end. We’re calling it a wrap on holiday sales with one last Flash Sale - 25% off select MicroMod boards. Available through Weds, Dec 8 @ 10 a.m. MST.
Now through Sunday, Dec 5, we're offering 100 promo code uses to take $40 off our SparkFun GPS-RTK2 Board - ZED-F9P (Qwiic).
Our Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale has begun! Shop deals up to 70% off. Plus, all orders this weekend receive a free SparkFun USB Thumb Drive.
We’re taking 40% off our Digital Multimeter, through 10am MST tomorrow. While we’re talking sales, get some details about our upcoming Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale.
We’ve compiled recommendations on when to order items if you need them by Dec 24th. TL;DR - the sooner you order, the better.
In this follow-up, I’ll show you the (mostly) finished project, talk about what I used, what I learned along the way, and just how much fun it is to have a robot that throws candy bars with unwavering accuracy and consistency.
It seems this Halloween we once again have additional considerations to take into account. I'm focusing on handing out candy to trick-or-treaters while maintaining proper social distancing.
Just because it’s already October and you haven’t started this year’s Halloween build doesn’t mean it can’t still be epic! SparkFun’s Qwiic I2C environment can help even us Olympic-level procrastinators rival the street’s best Halloween builds!
