Tutorials

Intel's Edison module goes beyond being just another Arduino clone. Check this tutorial for advice on how to get the most out of your Edison by writing code in C++!

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.

An overview of the Atmega32U4-based Pro Micro and FioV3, how to install it, and how to use it with Arduino.

This tutorial covers the basic functionality of the Pro Micro RP2040 and highlights the features of the dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processors development board. Get started with the first microcontroller from the Raspberry Pi Foundation!

Getting started with the SparkFun Proto Pedal. We'll assemble the board, then discuss some of the details of the circuit.

Prepare the Proto Pedal Chassis by drilling holes for controls and painting it.

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

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!

Interested in getting into LilyPad? Or maybe it's Arduino that tickles your fancy? Just want to add a little white-blinky-LED zest to your vest? All of the above? The ProtoSnap LilyPad Simple is a great tool to explore any of these subjects.

A project tutorial to add an extra effect for dancers performing a choreographed piece. The harness can be added quickly under a costume.

A quick introduction to pull-up resistors - whey they're important, and how/when to use them.

An introduction to the concept of Pulse Width Modulation.

Getting started with the Pyboard using MicroPython.

Tkinter is the standard graphical user interface package that comes with Python. This tutorial will show you how to create basic windowed applications as well as complete full-screen dashboard examples complete with live graph updates from matplotlib.

This guide will show you how to write programs on your Raspberry Pi using Python to control hardware.

Use this IR LED/phototransistor fusion to sense objects in close proximity or even the color of a surface!

A quick tutorial to show you how to add LEDs to gift or holiday bags or boxes.

This guide provides users with functional descriptions, configuration options for the QuickLogic Thing Plus EOS S3. It also serves as a “Getting Started” and “How To” guide.

Need to add more analog inputs for your project? Check out the Qwiic 12-bit ADC.

Get started with the Qwiic 6DoF ISM330DHCX Breakout Board!

A hookup guide for the Qwiic 6DoF (LSM6DSO), which features a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, temperature sensor, and FIFO buffer.

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

Freescale’s MMA8452Q is a smart, low-power, three-axis, capacitive micro-machined accelerometer with 12-bits of resolution. It’s perfect for any project that needs to sense orientation or motion. We’ve taken that accelerometer and stuck it on a Qwiic-Enabled breakout board to make interfacing with the tiny, QFN package a bit easier.

Get started with your Qwiic adapter board. This adapter breaks out the I2C pins from the Qwiic connectors to pins that you can easily solder with your favorite I2C enabled device.
