This tutorial covers how to get CO2 and other environmental readings from the STC31 using both Arduino and MicroPython when connecting the CO2 Sensor Breakout to a compatible development board over Qwiic.
This project provides the current date and time using GPS satellites. Depending on your display, you can draw the time as a digital or analog clock. Or even configure the clock to read military time, adjust the clock for your time zone, or automatically adjust the time for daylight savings time!
This tutorial will focus on setting up your own fixed antenna on your roof or other fixed structure and configuring a minicomputer to serve that data over the internet where it can be accessed by WiFi or more commonly, from a cellular phone or modem.
In this tutorial we'll build a basic magnetic levitator. This guide will go over some of the theory, how to use a magnetic field sensor, and how to use one to build a basic levitation circuit.
Looking to keep a log of the climate in your greenhouse, create a humidor control system or want to track temperature and humidity data for a weather station project? The SparkFun Humidity Sensor Breakout - SHTC3 (Qwiic) may be the perfect option for you!
The SparkFun Environmental Sensor - BME680 (Qwiic) is a breakout for the 4-in-1 BME680 gas sensor from Bosch. The BME680 combines a gas sensor with temperature, humidity and barometric pressure sensing for a complete environmental sensor in a single package.
When you first buy an Alchitry Au+, Alchitry Au, or Alchitry Cu board, the default FPGA configuration creates a fancy wave effect on the LEDs. In this tutorial we are going to walk through different steps for how to make something like this.
Pressure sensors are used in a wide range of applications. You can find them in the medical field , industrial uses, and have a wide range of consumer uses.
Let’s start at the beginning. What is an FPGA? Well, FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array, which isn’t helpful in understanding what they are or do but we had to get that out of the way.
