Mini-breadboards are now available in RGB colours. You can use them with the Arduino Protoshield Kit giving your projects a different hue. We also feature a 160 tie points breadboard with 8.25cm x 4.5cm (3.25” x 1.75”). It can be used on top of a Arduino MEGA shield and comes with a strong adhesive backing.
Summer sales just started with tons of cool stuff up to 15% discount until 20 of September.
Products with discount:
We now stock the Arduino Pro at 3.3V or 5V. These boards use the ATmeag328 and can be programmed using the latest Arduino IDE. Designed to be cheaper and lighter, it will get you up and running quickly. The Arduino Pro series is meant for advanced users that understand the limitations of system voltage (5V), lack of connectors, and USB off board. If the Arduino Pro is to Big!!! try the Arduino Pro Mini also available in both 3.3V and 5V versions. With a size as big as 18×33 mm and weighting 2 grams these are the smallest Arduino boards ever made.
The Arduino Pro and Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V are ideal for low-voltage electronics, board needs no interfacing circuitry to popular 3.3V devices and modules such as GPS, accelerometers, sensors, ZigBee modules, etc. You will need a serial to USB adapter such as the FTDI Basic Breakout 3.3V or the FTDI Basic Breakout 5V to program these boards. They replace the previous version and have the Auto-Reset feature. No more “Press the Button”. These adapters can also be used to program the new Lilypad board with the ATmega328. They fit straight into the new Lilypad board.
The new Arduino’ and a lot more will be available at a 15% discount until 31 August. We will be out for vacations next week and all orders will ship after. Have a great summer!!!
The Arduino Mega is a microcontroller board based on theATmega1280. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button (really).
The Mega is compatible with most of the shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecemilia and it has an impressive 128Kb of Flash Memory, and 8Kb of RAM. This baby rocks. With all the simplicity and powerful features of the Arduino language, you can communicate with remote hosts using ZigBee, received data from a GPS connection and use another serial port to control a LCD.
Are you hearing that groovy sound? It’s the next All Terrain Arduino based robot. We already started to cook our new summer toy 
These are the new Super Bright, Super Big 10mm LED’s, available in Red, Green and Blue. With a foward current of 80mA, each unit produces at least 10,000 MCD, enough to make a small room full of light. Add an Arduino, a microphone or audio signal from your iPod and make your own beat controlled mood lamp. Now you have a good reason to buy an acrylic lamp!!! Don’t forget to send us some pictures.
Wait – Did you say dual axis gyro? That’s correct! This is the first dual-axis MEMs gyro available on the open market. The IDG300 is a 3.3V leadless IC with a smaller profile than other single axis gyros. Factory set full scale range of ±500°/sec with integrated X-axis and Y-axis combined with an analogue output, this sensor can be used with the Arduino or Phidget InterfaceKit 8/8/8. Best used with an ADC of 12 bits or higher, this impressive sensor features integrated low-pass filters, reset switches for high-pass filters and a superior vibration rejection over a wide frequency range. Originally developed for image stabilization, can be used in a wide range of application as:
We just added 6 new wonderful Sparkfun accelerometers to our online catalog. Above you can find the triple axis ADXL330, capable of measuring both static and dynamic acceleration forces up to +/-3g. If you need an excellent dual axis accelerometer take a look at the ADXL320, ADXL321 and ADXL322 sensors (manufactured by Analog Devices). These are excellent sensors that can measure +/-5g, +/-18g and +/-2g respectively, outputting an analog signal compatible with the Arduino or Phidget InterfaceKit 8/8/8, and can perform basic pan/tilt detection.
We also feature the LIS3LV02DQ with an SPI and I2C connection. This is an impressive sensor that can measure accelerations from +/-2g up to +/-6g with a 1mg resolution. Independent channels can be shut off, the sensor can be powered down, even an interrupt threshold can be set and used to awaken the sensor from power down!!!
But if you require a even higher degree of precission consider the SCA3000. This highly precise and temperature compensated accelerometer is a good option for IMU and dead-reckoning applications. The low noise and temperature compensation significantly reduces drift over time. The breakout board includes a low noise, low drop out, 3.3V regulator that accepts voltages from 3.35V to 10V. A must have!!!
LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Leah Buechley and cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. It is based on the Arduino board design and it fatures a set of sensors, actuators and and prototyping materials for wearables and e-textiles. It can be sewn to fabric and similarly mounted with power supplies, color LED’s, motion sensors and actuators with conductive thread. They’re even washable!!!
The picture above features the LilyPad Deluxe Kit from Sparkfun. There are several e-textile construction kit’s, designed to empower novices to work with electronic textiles. Using these kit’s, you can build your own soft interactive clothing. They will be available shortly at our online store.
This Ethernet shield allows an Arduino board to connect to a LAN using the Ethernet library. To use the shield, mount it on top of an Arduino board (e.g. the Diecimila). To upload sketches to the board, connect it to your computer with a USB cable as you normally would. Once the sketch has been uploaded, you can disconnect the board from your computer and power it with an external power supply.
Connect the shield to your computer or a network hub or router using a standard ethernet cable (CAT5 or CAT6 with RJ45 connectors). Connecting to a computer may require the use of a cross-over cable (although many computers, including all recent Macs can do the cross-over internally).
We just run out of stock for the older Diecemilia boards. But don’t worry, we are receiving the new Duemilanove boards this week we just received the new Duemilanove boards. They will be back are now on stock on the next days This is the most recent revision of the Arduino board, fully compatible (pin by pin) with both hardware and software. Just upload your code and your work will be ready to run in a few seconds. You can find more information on the Duemilanove on the arduino.cc site. Don’t forget to upgrade the IDE to the 0012 version.
