Checkout how we drilled through the back of a PCB in order to solder to the hidden pads under a cellular module.
After a short time in retirement, the SparkX A111 Breakout Board is coming back to life as part of the Get Sparked program!
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.
Details of a silly problem with a silly solution: How to not overwrite your outgoing SPI data buffer when using the Arduino core libraries
If we've learned one thing at SparkFun it's that geeks love to talk about their projects! We can't wait to share what we've been cooking. Check out the pile of new products, sensors and breakout boards!
When SparkFun got a shipment of 1:8 scan rate panels, it fell on me to make them work with the wrong library.
It's not pretty but we've come up with a way to make I2C based libraries even more flexible. Now you can pass a software I2C port into a library!
We've got the magnetic tile back in stock and the first boards made with Buzzard are in!
I just finished writing the first of several EAGLE web utilities, let me introduce you to Buzzard Label Maker!
Watch out, we’ve been translating technical English… How to install and edit the SparkFun English file for the Charm High software.
After two rounds of SparkX, Nate follows through on "making cool stuff" and building a focused, experimental product development team. Here is a recap of the SparkX journey so far.
