SparkFun has become one of the favored suppliers for those without mainstream suppliers as well as the increasingly popular "Maker" community, particularly for the Arduino and related devices. [ 16 ] Whilst many of the non-component products sold by SFE are from other manufacturers, it does manufacture and sell some of its own complete products:
An Arduino-compatible board designed for auto-piloting and autonomous navigation of aircraft, cars, and boats. It uses GPS for navigation and thermopile sensors or an IMU for stabilization. ArduIMU [142] An Arduino-compatible board designed for inertial measurement and inertial navigation of aircraft, cars, and boats.
The Maple IDE includes both an implementation of the Arduino Language, [224] and lower-level native libraries (with support from the libmaple C library). [225] The more up-to-date Arduino_STM32 [ 226 ] project allows use of the Maple, and other generic STM32 boards in version 1.6.12 of the Arduino IDE.
Arduino (/ ɑː r ˈ d w iː n oʊ /) is an Italian open-source hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices.
SparkFun Electronics – microcontroller development boards, breakout boards; The Bus Pirate – universal bus interface and programmer; Turris Omnia – open-source SOHO network router; RISC-V – an open-source hardware instruction set architecture ; MIPS – a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture
By the mid 2000s open-source hardware again became a hub of activity due to the emergence of several major open-source hardware projects and companies, such as OpenCores, RepRap (3D printing), Arduino, Adafruit, SparkFun, and Open Source Ecology. In 2007, Perens reactivated the openhardware.org website, but it's currently (August 2023) inactive.
SparkFun Electronics [23] is a company that has grown due to the hobbyist market exemplified by Make magazine and others. Many of these companies offer EAGLE part libraries [24] which define schematic shapes, pinouts, and part sizes to allow for correct layout in the PCB layout editor.
SparkFun ESP8266 Thing. The reason for the popularity of many of these boards over the earlier ESP-xx modules is the inclusion of an on-board USB-to-UART bridge (like the Silicon Labs' CP2102 or the WCH CH340G) and a Micro-USB connector, coupled with a 3.3-volt regulator to provide both power to the board and connectivity to the host (software development) computer – commonly referred to as ...
