The new OpenMV H7 is here, along with a new Buck-Boost Converter, a few revisions to our micro:bit kits, and a latching solenoid!
Recently, a team from the St. Vrain Innovation Center assembled its first custom PCB design with the help of SparkFun. This is the story behind their project and their experience.
The SparkFun Edge is now shipping! With it, we also have a new DMX to LED Shield for your SparkFun Thing Plus, the new Taz Pro 3D Printer, high-grade flex sensors from Bend Labs, and some headers and cables!
This week we have a new Qwiic Proximity Sensor and a revision to the popular SIK for Photon!
Let's check out my third design to control LEDs based on movement using an accelerometer!
We have another new RedBoard today and it's gone turbo-tastic! But we can't forget about the Qwiic MP3 Trigger and Lumini 8x8 Matrix, too!
A Qwiic Ultraviolet Sensor, a new version of the Infrared Control Kit, and a couple of other bits roll out this week!
Another new stereo camera, a SparkFun Original LoRa Gateway and the Arduino Uno WiFi R2!
Today we have a new stereo camera, an all-in-one sensor module, an absolute encoder, LEDs and a baseplate for your Raspberry Pi!
I'm going to Chernobyl, and I'm taking a GPS/Radiation logger that I built with me.
