What an internship at SparkFun is like, the projects I've been up to, and the lessons learned so far.
Reverse engineering a $30 MaKey MaKey derivative with good intentions (but no attribution)
We tore apart a Neato Robotics XV-11 robotic vacuum cleaner and did a little reverse engineering.
ON Semiconductor lets us know that the fake ATmega328s are actually NCP5318 buck regulators for Intel processors.
We unleash the professionals at Atmel to inspect the insides of our defunct ATmega328s. We found ON Semi written inside. Tim gives us a tour of the Failure Analysis labs at Atmel, Colorado Springs campus.
A SparkFun customer and a a local dentist investigate the ATMega328 "slugs" - with interesting findings.
SparkFun gets counterfeit parts, buys nitric acid and a microscope, finds lack of silicon.

Do any of these have a native video out capability? Or would I have to build that from scratch for myself?
Thanks! The necessary sample rate is sort of dictated by the tempo of typical children's music. For example Jingle Bells, Mary Had a Lamb,…
creative idea! and nice write up!! what were your initial concept ideas for the needed sample speed?
Awesome. But how did you disable the highly vulnerable receiver built in to your garage opener?
Ah cool. For the comparison, I wanted to keep it simple with only temperature measurements. The humidity/temperature sensors lowers the cost…
I studied linear circuits and analysis in my second smester of university and i struggled a lot in making circuits especially digital clock.…
I have 11 temperature sensors in and near my house. They are of four different models, none of which are on your list. AM2302, AKA DHT22:…
I have tested the DS18B20 briefly. It is an alternative option for that distance using its the digital output. This was one of the…
I was using an analog input on the ATmega328P to read the TMP36 without a library. The spike between 55 to 72 was surprising to me as well.…
