We played with a couple embossing tools to see if we can do hot-air rework. It didn't work out very well.
Lots going on! Checkout our new Profile feature. We got mentioned in Fortune magazine, and we're going to EntConnect.
We rigged up a web cam on the pick and place for the day. Take a look and see what we're building.
We try to stuff our RFID tag into a Car fob. It didn't work out so good. And we've got new button pad controllers, 10Hz GPS, Arduino XBee shield, new dual-axis gyros, a Nordic RF serial interface board, and a much more!
Casey created a kite with LEDs and accelerometer. Checkout this tutorial showing how to use the LilyPad to light up the night!
Checkout the new tutorial using the AVR ATmega168 with XBee wireless modules to create a very robust serial bootloader! We also posted a new GeoChron Blue GPS product, programmable oscillator, photocell, and a mux breakout.
We're a bit behind today because of the snow. Most departments are closed or running on short staff.
New UAV development platforms, some useful cables, and a handful of other cool stuff!
We're attempting to catchup with technology and broadcast the SparkFun Classroom. Wish us luck.
SparkFun is putting on a contest to see who can drive around the building the fastest. We've also got a new low-cost gyro breakout and some ding/dent items for sale.
Holiday Greetings from SparkFun, a new tutorial, and a couple other useful bits of information.
New MP3 belt buckle tutorial and a handful of new products covering Uzebox open source game console, Arduino compatible Funnel I/O, Port-o-Rotary Blue (with Bluetooth? connection!), function generator and counter kits, and the new Arduino Ethernet Shield.
