DescriptionThe SparkFun OpenScale is a simple-to-use， open source solution for measuring weight and temperature. It has the ability to read multiple types of load cells and offers a simple-to-use serial menu to configure calibration value， sample rate， time stamp and units of precision.Simply attach a four-wire or five-wire load cell of any capacity， plug the OpenScale into a USB port， open a terminal window at 9，600bps， and you'll immediately see mass readings. The SparkFun OpenScale will enable you to turn a load cell or four load sensors in a Wheatstone bridge configuration into the DIY weigh scale for your application.The OpenScale was designed for projects and applications where the load was static(like the beehive in front of SparkFun HQ)or where constant readings are needed without user intervention(for example， on a conveyor belt system). A load cell with an equipped OpenScale can remain in place for months without needing user interaction!On board the SparkFun OpenScale is the ATmega328P microcontroller， for addressing your communications needs and transferring your data to a serial terminal or to a data logger such as the OpenLog， an FT231 with mini USB， for USB to serial connection； the HX711， a 24-bit ADC for weigh scales； and the TMP102， for recording the ambient temperature of your system. The OpenScale communicates at a TTL level of 9，600bps 8-N-1 by default and possesses a baud rate configurable from 1，200bps to 1，000，000bps.Get Started with the OpenScale GuideFeaturesOperating Voltage：5VOperating Ampage：80-100mAPower Cycling above 500msSelectable 10SPS or 80SPS Output Data RateLocal External Temperature SensorsFixed Adjustable Gain

DescriptionThese wireless receivers work with our 315MHz transmitters. They can easily fit into a breadboard and work well with microcontrollers to create a very simple wireless data link. Since these are only receivers， they will only work communicating data one-way， you would need two pairs(of different frequencies)to act as a transmitter/receiver pair.Note：These modules are indiscriminate and will receive a fair amount of noise. Both the transmitter and receiver work at common frequencies and don't have IDs. Therefore， a method of filtering this noise and pairing transmitter and receiver will be necessary. The example code below shows such an example for basic operation. Please refer to the example code and links below for ways to accomplish a robust wireless data link.Note：These receivers are almost identical to the RF link 434MHz receiver. SparkFun does everything in our power to make sure you receive the product you requested. However， if you are concerned you may have received the incorrect product you can verify which version receiver this is by running a simple test circuit.Features315 MHz500ft range(given perfect conditions)4800bps data rate5V supply voltage

DescriptionProduct Restrictions：To access certain features of the ATECC608A， users will need to contact Microchip and sign an NDA contract to obtain the complete datasheet. Due to the required NDA - technical support， an Arduino library， and hookup guide are not provided for users on this product.The SparkFun ATECC608A Cryptographic Co-processor Breakout allows you to add strong security to your IoT node， edge device， or embedded system. This includesasymmetricauthentication，symmetricAES-128 encryption/decryption， and much more. As stated above， the ATECC608A has limited Arduino support and the complete datasheet is under NDA with Microchip.This breakout board includes two Qwiic ports for plug and play functionality. 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 ATECC608A chip is capable of many cryptographic processes， including， but not limited to：Creating and securely storing unique asymmetric key pairs based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography(FIPS186-3).AES-128：Encrypt/Decrypt， Galois Field Multiply for GCMCreating and verifying 64-byte digital signatures(from 32-bytes of message data).Creating a shared secret key on a public channel via Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Algorithm.SHA-256 HMAC Hash including off-chip context save/restoreInternal high quality FIPS random number generator.Embedded in the chip is a 10Kb EEPROM array that can be used for storing keys， certificates， data， consumption logging， and security configurations. Access to the sections of memory can then be restricted and the configuration locked to prevent changes. Each ATECC608A Breakout ships with a guaranteed unique 72-bit serial number and includes several security features to prevent physical attacks on the device itself， or logical attacks on the data transmitted between the device.A summary datasheet for the ATECC608A is available here. The full datasheet is under NDA with Microchip. You will need to contact them for access to the entire datasheet. Meanwhile， the ArduinoATECCX08 Library currently only supports the ATECC608A with SAMD21 Arduino boards.We do have much more support for the ATECC508A version of this chip. Please check out our ATECC508A Hookup Guide and Arduino Library(which includes six examples). This will get you familiar with the basics of elliptic curve cryptography and signing/verifying data with the ATECC508A version of the chip.Note：The I2C address of the ATECC608A is 0x60 and is software-configurable to any address. A multiplexer/Mux is required to communicate to multiple ATECC608A sensors at the default address when on a single bus. If you need to use more than one ATECC608A sensor at the default address， consider using the Qwiic Mux Breakout.Note：The ATECC608A can be only configured once before it isPERMANENTLYlocked. It is advisable that users purchase multiple boards in order to use other configurations and explore the advanced functions of the ATECC608A.Additionally， this boardIScapable of encrypting and decrypting data. However， to access these additional features， you will need to contact Microchip and sign an NDA contract to obtain the complete datasheet.It is recommended that an SparkFun RedBoard Turbo - SAMD21 Development Board is used with this product due to the buffer size required on the I2C bus.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.FeaturesOperating Voltage：2.0V-5.5V(Default on Qwiic System：3.3V)Active Current Draw(for ATECC608A)：16 mASleep Current(for ATECC608A)：<150 nAGuaranteed Unique 72-bit Serial Number10 Kb EEPROM Memory for Keys， Certificates， and DataStorage for up to 16 Keys256-bit Key LengthInternal High-Quality FIPS Random Number Generator(RNG)Configurable I2C Address(7-bit)：0x60(Default)

DescriptionButtons are an easy and tactile way to interface with your project， but why would you want to deal with debouncing， polling， and wiring up pull-up resistors? The Qwiic Button with built-in green LED simplifies all of those nasty worries away into an easy to use I2C device! Utilizing our Qwiic Connect System， using the button is as simple as connecting cable and loading up some pre-written code!If you need multiple buttons for your project， fear not! Each button has configurable I2C address， so you can daisy-chain multiple buttons over Qwiic and still address each one individually. We've got an example in our Arduino library that provides super-easy way to configure your Qwiic Button to whatever I2C address you desire. You can download the library through the Arduino library manager by searching 'SparkFun Qwiic Button' or you can get the GitHub repo as .zip file and install the library from there.In addition to handling blinking and debouncing， the Qwiic Button has configurable interrupts that can be configured to activate upon button press or click. We've also taken the liberty of implementing FIFO queue onboard the Qwiic Button where it keeps an internal record of when the button was pressed. This means that code on your microcontroller need not waste valuable processing time checking the status of the button but instead can run small function whenever the button is pressed or clicked!

DescriptionThis is the SparkFun RFM69 Breakout， a small piece of tech that breaks out all the pins available on the RFM69HCW module as well as making the transceiver easy to use. The RFM69HCW is an inexpensive and versatile radio module that operates in the unlicensed ISM(Industry， Science and Medicine)radio band. It's perfect for building inexpensive short-range wireless networks of sensors and actuators for home automation， citizen science and more.This RFM69HCW operates on the 434MHz frequency and is capable of transmitting at up to 100mW and up to 300kbps， but you can change both of those values to fit your application. For example， you can maximize range by increasing the transmit power and reducing the data rate， or you can reduce both for short-range sensor networks that sip battery power. At full power and with simple wire antennas， we can get messages from one side of a large office building to the other through numerous internal walls. In open air you can reach 500 meters or more. With more complex antennas and modulation schemes， similar parts have successfully transmitted from space to the ground(by very smart amateur radio enthusiasts； your mileage may vary)!The RFM69HCW uses an SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface)to communicate with a host microcontroller， and several good Arduino libraries are available. It supports up to 256 networks of 255 nodes per network， features AES encryption to keep your data private， and transmits data packets up to 66 bytes long.SparkFun sells two versions of the RFM69HCW：a 915MHz version and this 434MHz version. Although the ISM band is license-free， the band itself is different in different areas. Very roughly， 915MHz is for use in the Americas， and the 434MHz version is for use in Europe， Asia and Africa. Check your local regulations for other areas.Get Started with the RFM69HCW Hookup GuideFeaturesTransmit power：-18dBm(0.016mW)to +20dBm(100mW)in 1dBm stepsReceive sensitivity：down to -120dBm at 1.2kbpsModulation types：FSK GFSK MSK GMSK OOKBit rates(FSK)：1.2kbps to 300kbpsVoltage range：1.8V to 3.6VCurrent consumption：0.1uA sleep， 1.25mA standby， 16mA receive， 130mA transmit(max)Encryption：AES 128-bit(optional)Packet buffer(FIFO)：66 bytes0.8"×1.1"

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
