Products from SparkFun Electronics

This motor driver board, originally designed by Dagu for their Rover 5 platform, is ideal for any small 4-wheel drive robotic vehicle. With four motor outputs, four encoder inputs and current sensing for each motor, it’s a must-have when...

In secure embedded systems, you often need to authenticate messages or connected devices but many microcontrollers aren't set up for the necessary cryptography. That's where the Atmel ATSHA204 comes in. The Atmel ATSHA204 is an optimized...

A SparkFun original Lithium Polymer charger. This little black box charges single cell lithium polymer batteries with a max rate of 1A. The charge output is via a 2-pin screw terminal. Top pin is ground, bottom pin is charge pin. Based...

The SparkFun EL Sequencer is a board that contains an Arduino-compatible microcontroller, and circuitry for controlling up to eight strands of electroluminescent wire . EL wire is flexible plastic cord that glows brightly when...

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...

It's the end of the world, and you need a button to press. This is it. A blue economy grade 100mm diameter (outside diameter) dome illuminated push button comes with an LED, securing nut and a long life horizontal microswitch. Be aware...

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...

This is about 360 yards of conductive thread spun from stainless steel fiber and wound on a spool. You can use it as a creative way to connect various electronics onto clothing projects. This large spool is a great way to get into...
