DescriptionThe SparkFun Wireless Joystick Kit provides an easy way to control your next XBee project. Before the wireless joystick, radio-controlled projects used hobby RC transmitters, the same ones used for RC cars, boats and planes. The problem with these transmitters is that many aren't customizable, and the ones that are tend to be too expensive for many of us. The Wireless Joystick Kit offers a custom wireless solution for those who want to control their project their own way.Equipped with the increasingly popular SAMD21 onboard, all you need is to assemble the SparkFun Wireless Joystick into the configuration you want and add your own XBee and lithium ion battery into the provided sockets. The Wireless Joystick Kit can be assembled into a configuration that utilizes dual joysticks for better RC steering robots(like tanks)or a single joystick configuration with four 12mm momentary pushbuttons(a setup similar to what older game consoles used). We have provided a full Hookup Guide that gives assembly instructions, as well as a tank-steering motor controller tutorial to help get you started!Please be aware that the SparkFun Wireless Joystick Kit isNOT supported on Windows 7/8due to a lack of support drivers for those specific OS's.Note:This kit will need to be assembled before use, so a beginner's knowledge of soldering will be required. Additionally, in an effort to keep shipping rates down and make this kit available to people throughout the world without delay, there is no XBee or lithium ion battery included.Get Started with the Wireless Joystick Kit Guide
DescriptionThe Leopard Imaging Camera is a 136° FOV(field of view)wide angle camera module that is great for machine vision applications, and designed specifically to be compatible with the NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit. This camera incorporates a Sony IMX219 8.08MP color sensor, a fixed focus(M8)lens, and utilizes CSI-2 MIPI 2-lane data output interface.This is the same camera that we include in the SparkFun Jetbot v2.1 Kit.Note:SparkFun has not established the compatibility of this camera with Raspberry Pi. We are currently working with the manufacturer, but due to firmware restrictions Leopard cameras do not work with any Raspberry Pi's at this time.FeaturesField of view(FOV):136°Module size:150mm(L)x 25mm(W)Sensor type:Sony IMX219 8.08MP color sensorActive pixels:3280(H)x 2464(V)Image size:Diagonal 4.60mm(Type 1/4.0)F/No:2.0(H136)Focal length:1.58mm(H136)TV distortion:<-15%(H136)Focusing range:30cm - InfinityLens type:Fixed Focus(M8 lens)Pixel size:1.12um×1.12umData output interface:CSI-2 MIPI 2-laneIR Cutter Filter:Yes
DescriptionThe LIDAR-Lite v4 LED sensor is the next step in the LIDAR-Lite line. A small, lightweight, low-power optical ranging sensor. It's the first to incorporate ANT profile wireless networking technology into an optical sensor. Its built-in nRF52840 processor means that developers can create custom applications, or be operated as a stand-alone device right out of the box by using the preloaded stock application.Like the LIDAR-Lite v3 and LIDAR-Lite v3HP sensors; it can also be directly connected to an external micro-controller running a custom user application. As such, it provides a highly adaptable option for OEM and maker applications in robotics, Internet of Things, and unmanned vehicles ― or any application where an ultrasonic sensor might otherwise be used. It's perfect as the basic building block for applications where wireless capabilities, small size, light weight, low power consumption and high performance are important factors in a short-range, 10-meter, optical distance measuring sensor.The LIDAR-Lite v4 requires an external 5VDC power source and soldering is required. This Time-of-Flight ranging module uses a LED and optics for ranging. It does not use a laser; therefore, it is inherently eye-safe under normal usage.FeaturesResolution:1 cmMeasurement repeatability:As measured indoors to a 90% reflective target1 cm is equivalent to 1 standard deviationUsing "high accuracy" mode, with averaging:+/- 1 cm to 2 meters+/- 2 cm to 4 meters+/- 5 cm to 10 metersRange:5 cm to 10 meters(as measured from back of unit)Update rate:I2C = >200 Hz typicalANT(R)= up to 200 Hz to a 90% target indoors at 2m in normal operating modeInterface:I2C or ANT; user configurable for SPI using the Nordic SDKPower(operating voltage):4.75 - 5.25 VDCCurrent consumption:2mA idle, 85mA during acquisitionOperating temperature:-20 to 60° CLED wavelength:940 nmBeam divergence:4.77°Optical aperture:14.9 mmUnit size(HxWxD):2.1"×0.8"×0.9"(52.2×21.2×24.0 mm)Weight:14.6 g(0.5 oz)
DescriptionThe A0 in the latest in Macchina's line of OBD-II interfaces. The A0 uses the power of the ESP32 BLE and WiFi module to allow for wireless access to the OBD-II port most modern cars have.The Macchina A0 module plugs directly into the OBD-II port found in most modern cars and receives its power from the port. From there, one can interface with the device through a few different methods. The easiest is with software such as SavvyCAN, Torque Lite on Android. Besides getting all on board diagnostic information, you're able to control certain aspects of the car and create cool projects such as dash-mounted, shift lights. The A0 can also be programmed in the Arduino IDE, so there's plenty of possibilities to customize the device for what you want to do with your car!FeaturesODB-II compatibility with all modern cars(1996 or newer)Pre-loaded with SavvyCAN for plug and play(wireless!)reverse engineeringWiFi and Bluetooth(R)FunctionalityESP32 ProcessorSuper bright RGB LEDCAN Communication FunctionalityProgrammable with the Arduino IDE
DescriptionThis 7" Raspberry Pi Touchscreen LCD provides you with the ability to create a standalone device that can be utilized as a custom tablet or an all-in-one interactive interface for a future project using your Raspberry Pi 3. Each LCD features a full color 800×480 capacitive touch display that connects to the Pi via an included adapter board which handles all of your power and signal conversion needs. An updated version of Raspbian OS on the A+, B+ and Pi2B is required for the display to work(the display does not work with the current version of Raspbian available on the Model A or B).What makes this LCD great is the fact that it only requires two connections to be hooked up to the Pi; power from the Pi's GPIO port and a ribbon cable that connects to the DSI port present on all Raspberry Pi's. Touchscreen drivers with support for 10-finger touch and an on-screen keyboard allow you to use your Raspberry Pi without an external keyboard or mouse.With this Raspberry Pi LCD you can create your own 'Internet of Things'(IoT)devices including a visual display by simply connecting your Pi, developing a easy Python script to interact with the display, and you'll be ready to create your own home automation devices with touch screen capability.Note:The latest version of Raspbian OS is required for this Raspberry Pi LCD to operate correctly.Features7" Touchscreen Display.Screen Dimensions:194mm×110mm×20mm(including standoffs)Viewable screen size:155mm×86mm70 degree viewing angleScreen Resolution 800×480 pixels @ 60fps24-bit color10 finger capacitive touch.Connects to the Raspberry Pi board using a ribbon cable connected to the DSI port.Adapter board is used to power the display and convert the parallel signals from the display to the serial(DSI)port on the Raspberry Pi.
DescriptionThe Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ Lite contains the guts of a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+(the BCM2837 processor and 1GB LPDDR2 RAM). This module allows a designer to leverage the Raspberry Pi hardware and software stack in their own custom systems and form factors. In addition this module has extra IO interfaces over and above what is available on the Raspberry Pi model A/B boards, opening up more options for the designer.This is all integrated onto a small(67.6mm×31mm)board that fits into a standard DDR2 SODIMM connector. You get the full flexibility of the BCM2837 SoC(which means that many more GPIOs and interfaces are available than with a standard Raspberry Pi), and designing the Module into a custom system should be relatively straightforward because all the tricky bits have been put onto the Module itself.The CM3+ Lite product is the same as CM3+ except the eMMC Flash is not fitted, and the SD/eMMC interface pins are available for the user to connect their own SD/eMMC device. Note that the CM3+ is electrically identical and, with the exception of higher CPU z-height, physically identical to the legacy CM3 products.Note:The CM3+ modules require a software/firmware image dated November 2018 or newer to function correctly.FeaturesBroadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53(ARMv8)64-bit SoC @ 1.2GHz1GB LPDDR2 SDRAMOperating Supply Voltage:1.8V, 3.3VMinimum Operating Temperature:-25CMaximum Operating Temperature:+80CHDMI, MIPI, USB, and GPIO interfaces on edge connector
