An update to our classic Capacitive Touch Breakout, as well as a new sibling to join it! Happy Friday, everyone!
Using the Mind Wave Mobile+, Mort and I created a mind-controlled IoT...solution (?) with sockets, of course!
By recycling industrial waste, composting, donating materials to local educators and harnessing solar, we're getting greener every year.
This month, SparkFun is celebrating the first anniversary of its Community Partnership Program.
It's Friday, and we have two more fantastic Qwiic boards and two micro:bit learning kits to share!
As Andrew finishes up his fiber optic light suit, he's adding in gesture control. Let's see how it works.
Take a look at this visual timeline illustrating SparkFun's 15-year history in the context of the maker movement and pop culture!
After working hard to build the exterior of their energy-efficient model home, students at Colorado School of Mines start on the electrical system using SparkFun hardware.
We reached out to some longtime customers and fans of SparkFun to see what they were working on 10-15 years ago.
Sometimes troubleshooting requires you to think both literally and figuratively "outside the box."
In order to use more advanced features or optimize our code for space and speed, we need to understand how to work with registers directly in microcontrollers.
The convenience of advancing tech can kill a good nostalgia project...but it's not quite dead...
2018 is so shiny and new, just like these new Onion Omega kits and the SIK v4.0 Lab Pack!
Atmel Studio 7 supports a web-based design tool called START. We'll take a look at this design tool pair and the time to blink on a SAME54 Xplained board.
To celebrate our "crystal anniversary," here's a collection of the stories, blog posts, products and adventures from 15 years of making crazy things.
