Tutorials

This tutorial covers the concept of analog and digital signals, as they relate to electronics.

What exactly IS a PCB? This tutorial will breakdown what makes up a PCB and some of the common terms used in the PCB world.

Add a powerful combination of computing power and wireless communication to your next MicroMod project with the SparkFun MicroMod STM32WB5MMG Processor.

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

Welcome to the wonderful world of breadboards. Here we will learn what a breadboard is and how to use one to build your very first circuit.

Have a bunch of sensors with the same I2C address? Put them on the Qwiic MUX (TCA9548A) to get them all talking on the same bus!

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.

Clip some LED's onto your gator:bit with the gator:color.

Buttons and switches and inputs oh my! Start adding more control to your gator:bit with the SparkFun gator:control.

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

The gator:bit v2 is a breakout board for the BBC micro:bit. The gator:bit exposes almost every pin on the micro:bit to clippable pad with circuit protection. It also has as built-in addressable LEDs and a built-in buzzer.

How to get started with the micro:bit breakout board.

In this tutorial, we will utilize the MakeCode radio blocks to have the one micro:bit transmit a signal to a receiving micro:bit on the same channel. Eventually, we will control a micro:bot wirelessly using parts from the arcade:kit!

Setup the RTK Reference Station in minutes and start sending RTCM NTRIP corrections to your favourite caster.

A guide describing the ARGOS satellite network - as used by our ARTIC R2 satellite communication products

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.

Take your volume knob beyond 11 with the Qwiic Twist digital RGB LED encoder via I2C!

Add a global cellular module to your MicroMod project with the SparkFun Cellular Function Board - Blues Wireless Notecarrier. With this Function board you can not only send data to and from your MicroMod project, you can even update the firmware on the STM32 MicroMod Processor.

Setup the RTK Facet in minutes to begin gathering millimeter level geospatial coordinates.

A guide to get you started with the SparkFun LTE GNSS Breakout - SARA-R5. This breakout features the SARA-R5 module from u-blox.

An overview of the different protocols that can be used for the development of Internet of Things (IoT)-based projects.

Want your project to react to music? Then the SparkFun Spectrum Shield is the product for you! Get going in no time with this Hookup Guide.

Add the processing power and versatility of the Teensy to your MicroMod project following this guide for the SparkFun MicroMod Teensy Processor.
