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

DescriptionUSB C is quickly becoming more and more prominent in the maker community because, let's be honest, who likes trying three times to insert USB into a port? This FTDI cable is a USB C to Serial converter which allows for a simple way to connect TTL interface devices to USB. Each 26AWG cable is one meter in length with the USB C side protected by a 2in enclosure.The FTDI cable is designed around an RS232, which is housed in a USB C connector. The other side of the cable is terminated with a 0.1" pitch, 6-pin connector with the following pinout:RTS(Green), RX(Yellow), TX(Orange), VCC 5V(Red), CTS(Brown), GND(Black). This FTDI to USB C Cable is also capable of handling high voltages up to 300V max.There are pros and cons to the FTDI Cable vs the FTDI Basic. The FTDI Basic has great LED indicators, but requires a Mini-B cable. The FTDI Cable is well protected against the elements, but is large and cannot be embedded into a project as easily. The FTDI Basic uses DTR to cause a hardware reset where the FTDI cable uses the RTS signal.
DescriptionThe TFMini Plus is a ToF(Time of Flight)LiDAR sensor capable of measuring the distance to an object as close as 10 centimeters(+/- 5cm up to 6m)and as far as 12 meters(+/-1% starting at 6m)! As with all LiDAR sensors, your effective detection distance will vary depending on lighting conditions and the reflectivity of your target object, but what makes this sensor special is its size. Measuring only 35x18.5x21mm, the TFMini Plus allows you to integrate LiDAR into applications traditionally reserved for smaller sensors.Setting itself apart from the original TFmini, the TFmini Plus has been designed with an IP65 enclosure meaning its "Dust tight water resistant", and also passed the vibration test of drone level, which will greatly expand its application range. The TFMini Plus is easy to power at only 5V and easy to talk to using the UART communication protocol.Important:This product does not use laser light for ranging. Instead it contains an LED and optics. Many such systems are being marketed under the name "LiDAR," although it may be more appropriate to think of this device as a "Time-of-Flight Infrared Rangefinder". It differs significantly from traditional IR rangefinders in that it uses ToF to determine range and not triangulation ― as is performed by the Sharp GP-series devices.FeaturesOperating Range - 0.1m~12m1Accuracy - ±5cm@(0.1-6m), ±1%@(6m-12m)Distance resolution - 5mmFrame rate - 1-1000Hz(adjustable)Ambient light immunity - 70kluxOperating temperature - -20℃~60℃Enclosure rating - IP65Light source - LEDCentral wavelength - 850nmFOV - 3.6°Supply voltage - 5V±0.5VAverage current - ≦110mAPower consumption - 550mWPeak current - 500mACommunication level - LVTTL(3.3V)Material of enclosure - ABS+PCStorage temperature - -20℃~75℃Weight - 11gWire length - 30cm

DescriptionThis is a simple strip of five signal-conditioning Balun Ember Transformers from Wurth Elektronik that allows you to convert an unbalanced signal in a transmission line to a balanced one, or vice versa. Each of these ICs possesses a freque
DescriptionThe SparkFun Level Shifting microSD Breakout is quite similar to the SparkFun microSD Transflash Breakout, but with the included level shifting hardware, this board allows you to utilize a microSD card at Arduino's SD library's top speed on a 5V system. With this small breakout board, that is not much bigger than your fingernail, adding mass storage to your project will never be easier.This breakout is also a bit unique in that it level translates all of its outputs back to the level of the hardware it's connected to.Get Started with the SparkFun Level Shifting microSD Guide
DescriptionThis is a piezoresistive force sensor from Tekscan. The harder you press, the lower the sensor's resistance. Pressing hard, the resistance changes from infinite to ~300k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but the resistance does not change while being flexed. Resistance changes only when pressure is applied to the round area at the end of the sensor. Used as a presence sensor(someone standing), weight sensor, pressure sensor(impact testing), etc.The overall length is about 8.5". Sensor comes with 0.1" spaced, reinforced, breadboard friendly connector.This sensor comes in three flavors. This sensor ranges from 0 to 25lbs of pressure.
DescriptionOne ruler to rule them all. This is a basic 12 inch ruler, but made from a PCB. We have included a lots of useful information on each side of the ruler that you might use on a daily basis including Wire Gauge holes, transistor diagrams, common fractions, Roman numerals, and metric to imperial conversions. Most importantly, the ruler provides you with a straight line and centimeter markings one side and inch markings on the other side.You'll also find a small protractor in the middle for all your angle measurement needs. While we figured you have a fairly good idea how to use a ruler we do have a tutorial to explain all the information you'll see!Get Started with the How to use a Ruler GuideFeatures12 inch PCB ruler with markings down to 0.05" or 1/32"30.48 cm PCB ruler with markings down to 0.1mmElectrical Equations such as Ohm's Law and Parallel ResistorsKeyboard Alt CodesColor WavelengthsProtractorMetric Prefix Summary ChartMetric conversionsMorse CodeTransistor DiagramsRoman NumeralsFraction SummaryWire Guage ChartTap and Drill ChartSize:12"x 1.5"
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
