Solenoids are a great way to induce linear motion for pushing, pulling or controlling switches and levers. This smaller solenoid is designed to work directly with 5V which makes it a great match for embedded projects. It has a throw of...

Solenoids are a great way to induce linear motion for pushing, pulling or controlling switches and levers. According to the datasheet this solenoid is rated for 36V but they work like a charm at 12V. We’ve been controlling them with the...

This is the very popular RGB combo but in SMD form. These units have four pads with a common anode configuration. Use this one LED for three status indicators or pulse width modulate all three and get mixed colors! Simple breakout board...

Thanks to their square shape, these RGB LEDs can sit flush against a PCB saving you precious vertical space in projects where space is a luxury. They may not be huge, but these common cathode piranha LEDs are bright ! Features: Common...

This is the LilyPad Arduino USB board, controlled by an ATmega32U4 with the Arduino bootloader. It has a built in power supply socket and an on/off switch with the only extra piece of hardware you need to program the LilyPad USB is a...

Our friends over at LinkSprite have made this nifty little RS485 Shield, now you will be able to have a communication port for your field bus directly connected to your Arduino! Even though the RS485 is sometimes thought as an “archaic”...

The Intel® Edison is an ultra small computing platform that will change the way you look at embedded electronics. Each Edison is packed with a huge amount of tech goodies into a tiny package while still providing the same robust strength...

This new version adds 2 standoff holes as well as an extra decoupling capacitor. The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to +-16 g. Digital output data is...

The SMB130 is a 28 pin DIP module that includes all necessary components for a 13.56 MHz RFID MIFARE®, aside from a PCB antenna. The module communicates over UART or I 2 C with simple protocols. It also has 2 general purpose inputs and 2...

This board is an evaluation platform for the SM130 RFID module. It includes an XBee header, PCB trace antenna, and has the layout to be used as a shield for an Arduino. There is a small prototyping area as well. This board can also be...

This is a basic RFID tag that functions within the MIFARE Classic® 1K guidelines. You can use these for all sorts of identification and sensing applications. The tag also has 1K of data storage which can be read and written from a...
