From concept to product, SparkFun can help.
The next generation of prototyping tools is here, taking you from idea to working prototype with less soldering, more modular components, and fewer wires.
Gone are the days of hunching over a workbench, soldering for hours, just to wind up with a proof of concept that isn't quite there. SparkFun has been working hard to make prototyping a rapid and mostly solder-free experience. By making hardware more flexible, scalable, and mobile, we're here to help keep your project moving.
Yes, we tend to romanticize soldering, but who has the time?
Prototyping Tools & Services
Qwiic makes prototyping faster and easier, utilizing 4-pin JST connectors to interface development boards with sensors, LCDs, relays and more. Easily add or swap in new components to your project - no soldering required!
SparkFun's MicroMod line is about choice (and being able to change your mind midway through a project). Need Bluetooth? Ultra-low power options? We've got those and more. MicroMod allows you to choose a microcontroller “processor board” alongside various “carrier boards,” all designed to make project changes easier to manage.
SparkFun À La Carte (ALC) is a service that bridges the gap between prototype and production. Simply pick and choose from a large list of controllers, components, connectors, and more for a fully assembled, demo-ready proof-of-concept.
