Looking for a beefy, wired data bus where RF won’t cut it? We dig into RS-485 and explore how it works and why it just might be the one you need!
Welcome to a very super special Sunday product post! There's no ulterior motive for this; none at all!
When SparkFun got a shipment of 1:8 scan rate panels, it fell on me to make them work with the wrong library.
ArtNet DMX is an industry standard in wireless lighting control. Let's figure out how to create our own ArtNet node so we can control pixels over the WiFi. We'll also figure out how to set up our custom fixture in Resolume Arena 6.
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!
A SparkFun Community Partner introduces Makey Makeys, soldering stations and maker technology to students and teachers at a vocational center overseas.
Using a ESP32 Thing and a WiFi camera to create a robot that you control from your browser.
We've got the magnetic tile back in stock and the first boards made with Buzzard are in!
We work with the Raspberry Pi pretty often here, and with a new version releasing we thought it would be a good time to gather our best tutorials and a few good add-ons.
