A small team from SparkFun had the awesome opportunity to attend the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Championship in Houston a couple weeks ago. This awesome event, which hosted ~50,000 attendees, was a testament to the FIRST community's passion, collaboration and inspiration - and it went WAY beyond robots.
The new TMC6300 3-Phase Motor Driver is now available and ready for your next robotics project!
Two new Air Velocity Sensor Qwiic Kits are now available! Also be sure to check out the new Raspberry Pi Debug Probe and Kitronik Servos Board, too!
The new Copy Protected version of the MicroMod Teensy Processor is now available with a new SparkX addition!
Rob's back with his candy throwing robot to show you how the magic works behind the scenes!
You asked for it and we put the FS3000-1015 on a board. We also released the Person Sensor from Useful Sensors earlier this week!
A new, economical GNSS board is now available featuring the MAX-M10S from u-blox! We also have four new Pixhawk® flight controller kits!
Yesterday, we announced the new version of the RTK Facet. Today, we take a look at some new Arduino products!
We head to CU to see what cool projects the students are making for their final projects.
We have a rather unique slew of new products this week including Qwiic PIR Kits, a Satellite Transceiver Breakout, GNSS-RTK Accessories, CNC Machines, and more!
