Sensors

A quickstart guide for the micro:bit educator lab pack.

This guide contains all the information you will need to explore the twelve circuits of the SparkFun Inventors Kit for micro:bit.

A weather station kit that is built on top of the inexpensive, easy-to-use micro:bit and Microsoft MakeCode.

Get started with the moto:bit, a carrier board for the micro:bit that allows you to control motors, and create your own robot using this experiment guide for the micro:bot kit.

Monitor the weather without being exposed to it through wireless communication between two micro:bits using the radio blocks! This is useful if your weather station is installed in a location that is difficult to retrieve data from the OpenLog. We will also explore a few different ways to send and receive data.

Get started clipping sensors and lights to the micro:bit with the gator:starter gator:board from SparkFun!

In our previous Bluetooth tutorial called Sending Sensor Data Via Bluetooth, we showed how to display data from a triple axis accelerometer over the Arduino IDE’s serial monitor. Continuing off of the first tutorial, we are going to expand this project to include more capabilities for visualizing and interacting with your accelerometer data.

The updated Qwiic version of the OpenLog Hookup Guide

Qwiic-ly build a digital indoor thermometer to measure the ambient temperature of the room and display it using an OLED on an I2C bus!

Running low-power machine learning examples on the SparkFun Edge can now be done using the familiar Arduino IDE. In this follow-up to the initial Edge tutorial, we'll look at how to get three examples up and running without the need to learn an entirely new SDK.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to get started on incorporating Bluetooth into your electronics projects. This project uses a SparkFun Thing Plus ESP32 Wroom USB-C to display data from a Triple Axis Accelerometer over Bluetooth.

Learn how to use the enclosed RTK Express product to achieve millimeter level geospatial coordinates.

Get started with the SparkFun Pressure Sensor - BMP581 (Qwiic) following this Hookup Guide

Create your own digital scale quickly and easily using the Qwiic Scale!

A hookup guide for the HX711 load cell amplifier breakout board

A tutorial defining what a load cell is and how to use one.

Find all your degrees of freedom with this little Qwiic breakout board combining the ISM330DHCX 6Dof and the MMC5983MA Magnetometer!

Is your air safe? Check your eCO2, TVOC, and AQI levels with the new SparkFun Indoor Air Quality Sensor - ENS160!

An introduction to working with the OpenLog data logger.

The essential parts for beginning (or even experienced) hobbyists that gives you all of the basic through-hole components you will need to get started playing with embedded projects. We'll identify a few parts in the kit and provide a few basic circuits to get started!

This tutorial provides information about how to connect to ADH-Tech's fingerprint scanner (GT-521F32) and how to use it with Hawley's FPS_GT511C3 library for Arduino.

Get started with the Air Velocity Sensor Breakout - FS3000!

Add low power triple axis motion monitoring to your Qwiic project using the SparkFun Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - BMA400 (Qwiic).

Is your finger bent? Is your finger straight? The Qwiic Flex Glove controller board will answer this age old question for you with the flex sensor!
