We’ve heard you, and made a number of improvements to our EL Shield. The new version adds zero-crossing optoisolated triacs for noise-free operation and full isolation between the AC and DC sides, and includes a 1.5A adjustable linear...

This is the newest revision of our FTDI Basic. We now use a SMD 6-pin header on the bottom, which makes it smaller and more compact. Functionality has remained the same. This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial...

A very powerful 5mW green laser. Fun, but don’t point in anyone’s eyes. These units include two solder points for permanent on. The trim-pot adjusts the output power. We were able to push the current up to about 400mA where things...

These LED string lights are a great way to add light to any project with little to no soldering required. The insulated strings come in 10m lengths with one red LED every 10cm for a total of 100 LED’s, all you have to do is add 3-3.4V...

This is the Arduino shield version of our TLC5940 Breakout. The SparkFun PWM Shield will allow you to generate up to 16 PWM signals from your Arduino by utilizing the power of the TLC5940 IC. All 16 PWM channels are broken out to...

The ATmega128RFA1 is a portmanteau of sorts – two separate components combined to form one device; half microcontroller, half RF transciever. ATmega128RFA1 is an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant single-chip, combining the industry- leading AVR...

The next rev of the RedBot Mainboard has received a few improvements to the silkscreen and has an added button connected to pin 12, go check it out. This page is for reference only. The RedBot Mainboard is a robotic development platform...

Here is a powerful, low-cost, reliable servo for all your mechatronic needs. This servo is able to take in 6 volts and deliver 83.47 oz-in. of maximum torque at 0.16 sec/60° This is a tough little servo with a standard 3 pin power and...

Side-looking Infrared Emitters and IR Detectors. These simple devices operate at 940nm and work well for generic IR systems including remote control and touch-less object sensing. Using a simple ADC on any microcontroller will allow...

This is a breakout board for the L3G4200D low-power three-axis angular rate sensor. The L3G4200D is a MEMS motion sensor and has a full scale of ±250/±500/±2000 dps and is capable of measuring rates with a user-selectable bandwidth....

Running out of memory space in your Arduino project? The microSD Shield equips your Arduino with mass-storage capability, so you can use it for data-logging or other related projects. A microSD quickstart guide is available!...

These 33mm (1.3") spring loaded pogo pins are great for programming and applications where you don't always want headers soldered onto your boards. We use them for our programming jigs in production. The pins fit snugly into most...
