DescriptionThe SparkFun NEO-M9N GPS Breakout is a high quality GPS board with equally impressive configuration options including SMA. The NEO-M9N module is a 92-channel u-blox M9 engine GNSS receiver， meaning it can receive signals from the GPS， GLONASS， Galileo， and BeiDou constellations with ～1.5 meter accuracy. This breakout supports concurrent reception of four GNSS. This maximizes position accuracy in challenging conditions increasing， precision and decreases lock time； and thanks to the onboard rechargeable battery， you'll have backup power enabling the GPS to get a hot lock within seconds! Additionally， this u-blox receiver supports I2C(u-blox calls this Display Data Channel)which makes it perfect for the Qwiic compatibility so we don't have to use up our precious UART ports. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system， no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However， we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.The NEO-M9N module detects jamming and spoofing events and can report them to the host， so that the system can react to such events. A SAW(Surface Acoustic Wave)filter combined with an LNA(Low Noise Amplifier)in the RF path is integrated into the NEO-M9N module which allows normal operation even under strong RF interferences.U-blox based GPS products are configurable using the popular， but dense， windows program called u-center. Plenty of different functions can be configured on the NEO-M9N：baud rates， update rates， geofencing， spoofing detection， external interrupts， SBAS/D-GPS， etc. All of this can be done within the SparkFun Arduino Library!The SparkFun NEO-M9N GPS Breakout is also equipped with an on-board rechargeable battery that provides power to the RTC on the NEO-M9N. This reduces the time-to-first fix from a cold start(～24s)to a hot start(～2s). The battery will maintain RTC and GNSS orbit data without being connected to power for plenty of time.This product requires an antenna：Be sure to check out the related products/hookup accessories and pick a suitable SMA antenna for your project.The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors， actuators， shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch， 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space， and polarized connections mean you can't hook it up wrong.The NEO-M9N GPS Breakout can also be automatically detected， scanned， configured， and logged using the OpenLog Artemis datalogger system.

DescriptionThe SparkFun MAX31855K Thermocouple Breakout is a simple 14-bit resolution， SPI-compatible， serial interface thermocouple digitizer that makes reading a wide range of temperatures possible. A thermocouple works by taking two wires made of dissimilar metals， connecting them at the two ends， and making a temperature gradient between one end and the other(a 'hot' end and a 'cold' one). Once this is achieved， a voltage potential is formed and current flows. The SparkFun Thermocouple Breakout takes a standard Type-K thermocouple in one end， digitizes the temperature measured and sends that data out the other end via a SPI interface， thereby interpreting the data and translating it for you to read!With the SparkFun Thermocouple Breakout， the thermocouple's hot junction can be read from -200℃ to +700℃ with an accuracy of ±2℃ while the cold junction， inside the MAX31855K， can only range from -20℃ to +85℃ while maintaining ±2℃ accuracy. The MAX31855K constantly measures the temperature of the cold junction using an internal temperature-sensing diode. The MAX31855K requires a power source from +3.0V to +3.6V(+3.0V nominal)and only draws 1.5mA maximum.The Thermocouple Breakout is designed to accept a standard thermocouple connector， for convenience and compatibility with probes you may already own. These connectors aren't necessary， and you could solder a thermocouple directly into the through-holes labeled '+' and '-'. If you decide to solder the thermocouple directly to the breakout board， it is recommended that the thermocouple be mounted for strain relief to avoid breaking the thin wires. Notches for a zip-tie or wire wrapping have been provided in the PCB opposite the header for this purpose.Features14-bit ResolutionSPI-Compatible， Serial Interface-200℃ to +700℃ Temperature Reading with ±2℃ Accuracy3.0V to 3.6V(+3.0V nominal)RequiredAccepts Type-K Thermocouple

DescriptionThis is a 16mm deluxe thumb joystick and is very similar to the 'analog' joysticks found inside PlayStation controllers. Directional movements are provided simply by two potentiometers - one for each axis. These 10k potentiometers will read the position changes for the joystick's full range of physical motion. This joystick also has a select button that is actuated when the joystick is pressed down.The mechanical parts found in this joystick are mostly metal and are considered far sturdier(rugged， if you will)than other， plastic joystick options.Note：This thumb joystick does not include a top cap and it will need to be purchased separately. Additionally， the leads on the housing of this joystick are much thicker than the leads on the trimpots &； push button components. When soldering to BOB-9110， we recommend using a pair of fine tip tweezers to guide each pin into the correct hole before pushing down.

DescriptionNo， this isn't a tank tread， this is a 0.5m long Cable Carrier with 10x15mm bits composing its main body and two screw fasteners at each end for efficient mounting. Sometimes called a "drag chain，" each carrier can be used in projects with a large number of moving parts to protect internally installed cables， pipes， or tubes so they can be bent and moved while remaining protected. Cable carriers can most commonly been found in 3D printers and CNC machines but they can be used in any situation where you need cables or tubes to bend without risk of them being damaged or wearing out prematurely.This specific cable carrier offers inner dimensions of 10mm(height)by 15mm(wide)， an outer width of 22mm， and a bend radius of 20mm. Additionally， these carriers are thin enough to fit into an Actobotics channel， making custom slide machines or other projects even easier to manage. Much like a chain， individual links can be added or removed to make custom lengths.FeaturesInner Bit Height：10mmInner Bit Width：15mmOuter Bit Height：14Outer Bit Width：22mmMinimum Bend Radius：20mmReinforced Nylon Structure

DescriptionThe SparkFun MicroMod Environmental Function Board adds additional sensing options to the MicroMod Processor Boards. This Function Board includes three sensors to monitor air quality(SGP40)， humidity temperature(SHTC3)， and CO2 concentrations(STC31)in your indoor environment. To make it even easier to use， all communication is over the MicroMod's I2C bus!The SGP40 measures the quality of the air in your room or house. The SGP40 uses a metal oxide(MOx)sensor with a temperature controlled micro hotplate and provides a humidity-compensated volatile organic compound(VOC)based indoor air quality signal. Both the sensing element and VOC Algorithm feature an unmatched robustness against contaminating gases present in real world applications enabling a unique long term stability as well as low drift and device to device variation.The SHTC3 is a highly accurate digital humidity and temperature sensor. The SHTC3 uses a capacitive humidity sensor with a relative humidity measurement range of 0 to 100% RH and bandgap temperature sensor with a temperature measurement range of -40℃ to 125℃. The SHTC3 builds on the success of their SHTC1 sensor with higher accuracy(±2% RH， ±0.2℃)than its predecessor， enabling greater flexibility.The STC31 measures CO2 concentrations based on thermal conductivity and has two CO2 measurement ranges：0 to 25 vol%； and 0 to 100 vol%. The measurement repeatability is 0.2 vol%， with a stability of 0.025 vol% / ℃. The measurement accuracy depends on the measurement range：0.5 vol% + 3% measured value； 1 vol% + 3% measured value. Using measurements from the SHTC3， the STC31 is able to provide humidity-compensated measurements together with improved temperature compensation. The STC31 can compensate for atmospheric pressure too - which is handy if， like us， you're up in the mountains!The outstanding performance of these three sensors is based on Sensirion's patented CMOSens(R)technology， which combines the sensor element， signal processing， and digital calibration on a small CMOS chip. The well-proven CMOS technology is perfectly suited for high-quality mass production and is the ideal choice for demanding and cost-sensitive OEM applications.Utilizing our handy M.2 MicroMod connector， no soldering is required to connect it to your system. Simply match up the key on your processor and function board's beveled edge connector to their respective key on the M.2 connector， then secure them to the main board with screws. The MicroMod Environmental Function Board can then be read via the I2C port. The board is equipped with the AP2112 3.3V voltage regulator， I2C pull-up resistors， power LED， jumper to disable the LED， and jumpers for alternative STC31 addresses.Note：A MicroMod Processor and Main Board are not included with this MicroMod Environmental Function Board. These boards will need to be purchased separately.MicroMod is a modular interface ecosystem that connects a microcontroller "processor board" to various "carrier board" peripherals.

For advanced users that are using multiple SHTC3's with the Qwiic Mux， you will need to adjust the Qwiic Mux's default address.

DescriptionThe SparkFun RTK Surveyor is an easy to use GNSS receiver for centimeter-level positioning. Perfect for surveying， this preprogrammed device can also be used for autonomous driving， navigation， asset tracking and any other application where there is a clear view of the sky. The RTK Surveyor can also be used as a base station. With the flick of a switch， two RTK Surveyors can be used to create an RTK system capable of 14mm horizontal positional accuracy. The built-in Bluetooth(R)connection via an ESP32 WROOM enables the user to use the RTK Surveyor with their choice of GIS application on a phone or tablet. The built in battery allows field use for up to four hours and is compatible with common USB battery banks.This device can be used in four modes：GNSS Positioning(～30cm accuracy)GNSS Positioning with RTK(1.4cm accuracy)GNSS Base StationGNSS Base Station NTRIP ServerIn Position mode the device receives L1/L2 signals from a user-provided antenna and the high-grade GNSS receiver provides lat/long and altitude with accuracies around 300mm.In Positioning with RTK mode the device receives L1/L2 signals from the antenna and correction data from a base station. The correction data can be obtained from a cellular link to online correction sources or over a radio link to a 2nd RTK Surveyor setup as a base station.In Base Station mode the device is mounted to a temporary position(like a tripod)and begins transmitting correction data over a radio or internet connection. A base is often used in conjunction with a second unit set to 'Positioning with RTK' to obtain the 14mm relative accuracy.In Base Station NTRIP Server mode the device is mounted to a semi or permanently fixed position(like a roof)and connects over WiFi to transmit the correction data to a NTRIP caster so that any rover can access the correction data over a cellular or internet connection. This type of base is a very easy way to setup a very precise absolute correction source.Two cables are provided with the RTK Surveyor allowing a user to plug on our easy to use Serial Telemetry Radios or their own radio link. If a local correction source is within 10km， a user can also use their phone to provide correction data over the Bluetooth(R)link(no external radio needed!).Note：The SparkFun RTK Surveyor is just the enclosed device and does NOT include an antenna， serial telemetry radio， or associated mounting pieces.

DescriptionThe SparkFun Soil Moisture Sensor is a simple breakout for measuring the moisture in soil and similar materials. The soil moisture sensor is pretty straightforward to use. The two large， exposed pads function as probes for the sensor， together acting as a variable resistor. The more water that is in the soil means the better the conductivity between the pads will be， resulting in a lower resistance and a higher SIG out. This version of the Soil Moisture Sensor includes a 3-pin screw pin terminal pre-soldered to the board for easy wiring and setup.To get the SparkFun Soil Moisture Sensor functioning， all you will need is to connect the VCC and GND pins to your Arduino-based device(or compatible development board). You will receive a SIG out， which will depend on the amount of water in the soil. One commonly known issue with soil moisture senors is their short lifespan when exposed to a moist environment. To combat this， we've had the PCB coated in gold finishing(ENIG， or Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold).Note：Check the Hookup Guide below for assembly and weatherproofing instructions， as well as a simple example project that you can put together yourself!Get Started with the Soil Moisture Sensor Guide
