Projects

Are you to sleepy to enjoy a sunrise on a brisk morning? Yeah...us too! No worries, with a Webcam, a Tessel 2 and a bit of code you can sleep in and catch the sunrise at your leisure with the Sunrise Machine.

Build a robot with the Tessel 2 that you can control from a browser on your phone or laptop.

Build an air-conditioner monitoring device to collect environment information and store it in the cloud.

What does a baby elephant weigh? How much impact force does a jump have? Answer these questions and more by building your very own IoT industrial scale using the SparkFun OpenScale.

Basic hookup guide for the TB6612FNG H-bridge motor driver to get your robot to start moving!

Building a pedal around the Teensy 3.2 and Teensy Audio shield. Changing the effect in the pedal is as easy as uploading a new sketch!

Building a gyrator-based analog equalizer using the Proto Pedal.

Add a cloth stencil over EL panels to create glowing logos and designs.

OpenScale allows you to have a permanent scale for industrial and biological applications. Learn how to use the OpenScale board to read and configure load cells.

An introduction to working with the Electret Mic Breakout Board.

Build a portable gas monitor to check for dangerous levels of hazardous gases.

Learn how to build a remote water level sensor for a water storage tank and how to automate a pump based off the readings!

Use GPS to have two objects, a base and a target, point towards one another. This can be used to aim a directional antenna (or in the case of this project, a laser) from one object to the other object at a distance that is only limited by your ability to provide the base station with the target's GPS location.

Use an Arduino and the SparkFun Sound Detector to create visualizations on Addressable RGB LED strips.

Learn how to build a wireless controller to kill power when things go... sentient.

Turn the Intel® Edison into an access point that serves a simple browser-based game. High scores from the game are displayed on a character LCD.

Classroom STEM activity that has students build a battery from a lemon, measure the open and closed circuit voltages, and determine the battery's internal resistance.

We can use the parts and concepts in the SparkFun Invetor's Kit to make a primitive keyboard instrument.

This quick craft project shows you how to create a circuit using copper tape instead of wire to light up an LED and make a wearable piece of e-craft art.

How to configure the Blynk Board and app to notify you when your washer or dryer is done shaking.

Build a Boss Alarm that alerts you of anyone walking into your office and automatically changes your computer screen.

A series of Blynk projects you can set up on the Blynk Board without ever re-programming it.

A Blynk project that demonstrates how to use the Bridge widget to get two (or more) Blynk Boards to communicate.

Learn how Nick Poole built a WiFi controlled fire-cannon using the ESP8266 Thing Dev Board!
