Tomorrow Lab and Silicon Labs got together to build a Matter-based project to make your office accommodate your personal preferences with the scan of your RFID card! This build combines an awesome physical enclosure with cool electronics - the SparkFun Thing Plus Matter board, Raspberry Pi, sensors, Qwiic, and an OLED Screen
This Wednesday, we are taking a look at our SparkFun Thing Plus Matter Board, which is now running DOOM!
Our new mosaic-X5 Triband GNSS RTK Breakout was released yesterday, and today we added the ESP32-C6 Qwiic Pocket Dev Board to the mix. There's a lot going on this Friday, so stop by and look!
There was a time when working on home automation projects meant committing to a specific ecosystem. But with the recent introduction of Matter — an open-source protocol that enables seamless communication between IoT devices — you now have more options. Join Elektor, SparkFun, and Silicon Labs on August 24, 2023 for an insightful webinar, "A Matter of Collaboration: Developing with the Thing Plus Matter Board and Simplicity Studio."
This week, we are happy to announce our newest MicroMod Processor featuring the STM32WB5MMG. We also take another look at Arduino's newest UNO R4 boards!
Check out our new video where our awesome engineer Dryw will walk you through connecting your Thing Plus Matter to Google Nest Hub and the Google Home app!
Silicon Labs created some amazing project examples, using the SparkFun Thing Plus Matter board, that you can follow once you've got yours up and running. Including gesture recognition and image classification using TensorFlow Lite, counting people in a room, creating an RFID door lock system, and connecting the SparkFun Thing Plus MGM240P to an Android device, these examples are sure to inspire you!
We have a new video for you all where we take you through Simplicity Studio®, SiLabs' UDE, to hit the ground running with the Thing Plus Matter. Also, learn more about Matter and Thread, and how SiLabs and SparkFun are coming together to bring this emerging technology to you!
We've assembled this annotated resource list to better understand Matter and Thread - what it is, why it matters, and use cases.
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!
Wow great blog!

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…

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"…
