We're wrapping up Women's History Month by talking about the influence of work traditionally done by women on the fields of computer science and engineering. From using binary code to manually weaving memory cores for the Apollo Missions, women have been at the forefront of many innovations in the industry without proper credit.
Silicon Labs created some amazing project examples, using the SparkFun Thing Plus Matter board, that you can follow once you've got yours up and running. Including gesture recognition and image classification using TensorFlow Lite, counting people in a room, creating an RFID door lock system, and connecting the SparkFun Thing Plus MGM240P to an Android device, these examples are sure to inspire you!
We have a new video for you all where we take you through Simplicity Studio®, SiLabs' UDE, to hit the ground running with the Thing Plus Matter. Also, learn more about Matter and Thread, and how SiLabs and SparkFun are coming together to bring this emerging technology to you!
The NINA-B306 Thing Plus is here along with two new AI single-board computers from NVIDIA!
Women's History is being celebrated all month, and we have another story about an influential woman in science for you! Gladys West is an American mathematician who made significant contributions to the development of the Global Positioning System (GPS) by developing satellite geodesy models. Learn more about her here!
NVIDIA releases their Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, which aims to accelerate entry-level edge AI applications.
We've assembled this annotated resource list to better understand Matter and Thread - what it is, why it matters, and use cases.
SPEed Up The Future! Join the Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Design Challenge. Build an original application for 10BASE-T1L SPE for a chance to win fantastic prizes!
The Qwiic Dynamic NFC/RFID Tag graduates to reds and the AWS IoT ExpressLink SARA-R5 Starter Kit gets a new version.
Sandeep Mistry uses a SparkFun AzureWave Thing Plus to combine real-time audio, AI/ML, DSP, and Wi-Fi connectivity technologies together to get notified when your doorbell rings while you're away.
Happy Women's History Month! Today we're sharing the story of Hedy Lamarr, who was a Hollywood actress in the 1940s as well as an inventor who holds the patent for frequency hopping, which is used in wireless communications today like WiFi and Bluetooth!
Yesterday, we released the Thing+ Matter. Today, we take a look at it and the rest of our new products for the week!
The first easily accessible board that combines Matter and SparkFun’s Qwiic ecosystem for new IoT development is here!
Two new Air Velocity Sensor Qwiic Kits are now available! Also be sure to check out the new Raspberry Pi Debug Probe and Kitronik Servos Board, too!
Computer scientist and engineer Mark Dean is credited with helping develop multiple major technologies, among them the Industry Standard Architecture system bus, the color PC monitor and the first gigahertz chip. Learn more about his history with IBM and his breakthroughs in computer engineering here!
Two new IN100 NanoBeacon Boards are now available with the newest versions of our Cerberus USB Cables.
This year, SparkFun turns 20. Take a look back with us at the last two decades and share what our top products were each year! Which ones do you have in your workshop?
