The digital multimeter (DMM) is an essential tool in every electronic enthusiasts arsenal. The SparkFun Digital Multimeter, however, is not your average multimeter, it features a loud continuity sound, current/voltage sense, and quality probes. You can use the multimeter to measure DC and AC voltage, DC current, resistance, continuity, and test diodes. With this version we've done away with the bright flashy colors that can get us into trouble and gone with a nice, neutral gray. This...

We use barrel jacks a lot around here and sometimes we need to pop a switch into the mix. That usually means hacking up a perfectly good barrel jack extension cable, but the whole point of using the barrel jacks was so that we wouldn't have to hack things apart... Well, we found a solution: The Barrel Jack Power Switch. Okay, it's nothing fancy but it *is *really useful. Plug your power supply into one end and the other into your project and, just like that, you've got a power switch! The...

The LilyTiny is a tiny little LilyPad board designed to add flashy functionality to your project without taking up a lot of room. Even though it's as small as some of the LilyPad sensors, this board actually has an ATtiny microcontroller on it so it's actually pretty smart! Simply sew on 4 LEDs and connect a battery and the LEDs will each blink or fade differently. One will blink on and off (2), another will flash a heartbeat pattern (1), another will do a "breathing" fade (0) and the other...

This is a simple pack of five Yellow LilyPad LEDs that are still attached to one another, letting you snap the LEDs apart at your leisure to sew into clothing or whatever else you can dream up. LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Dr. Leah Buechley and cooperatively designed by Leah and SparkFun. Each LilyPad piece was creatively designed with large sew tabs to allow them to be sewn into fabric. Various input, output, power and sensor boards are available. They're even...

This is a basic, 4-digit 7-segment display - yellow in color. It has a common anode. The display features one decimal point per digit, and individually controllable apostrophe and colon points. The LEDs have a forward voltage of 2.1VDC and a max forward current of 20mA. The hardware interface is sixteen (two rows of eight) through-hole pins. We carry this same display in red, green, and blue. Features: Overall Display: 40.18 x 12.8 mm (1.58 x 0.50") Digit Height: 10mm (0.39") Documents:...

This is a small force sensitive resistor. It has a 0.16" (4 mm) diameter active sensing area. This FSR from Interlink Electronics will vary its resistance depending on how much pressure is being applied to the sensing area. The harder the force, the lower the resistance. When no pressure is being applied to the FSR, its resistance will be larger than 1MΩ, with full pressure applied the resistance will be 2.5kΩ. Two pins extend from the bottom of the sensor with 0.1" pitch making it bread board...

The SparkFun ESP8266 Thing is a breakout and development board for the ESP8266 WiFi SoC – a leading platform for Internet of Things (IoT) or WiFi-related projects. The Thing is low-cost and easy to use, and Arduino IDE integration can be achieved in just a few steps. We've made the ESP8266 easy to use by breaking out all of the module’s pins, adding a LiPo charger, power supply, and all of the other supporting circuitry it requires. Why the name? We lovingly call it the “Thing” due to it being...

"4-digit 7-segment displays are really neat little devices, it’s a shame that they can be so cumbersome to control. Well we’ve solved that problem by making them a little bit “smarter.” The SparkFun 7-Segment Serial Display combines a classic 4-digit 7-segment display and an ATMega328 microcontroller allowing you to control every segment individually using only a few serial lines. The Serial 7-Segment Display can be controlled in one of three ways: Serial TTL...

The SparkFun ADXL313 Breakout is a low power, high resolution (up to 13-bits) 3-axis accelerometer for measurement up to ±4g. This breakout measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit two's complement and is accessible through the on-board Qwiic connectors (I2C) or SPI. The ADXL313 Breakouts high resolution and low noise enable resolution of inclination...

If you need to knock up a quick prototype there's nothing like having a pile of jumper wires to speed things up, and let's face it: sometimes you want quantity over quality. These are the same jumper wires that come with the SparkFun Inventor's Kit, they're less rugged than the premium jumper wires but they're great for bread-boarding, they're less expensive and we sell them in packs of 30! They may not hold up to year after year of abuse but they're a good value and we use them all the time...

You can tell by our large assortment of tweezers that we here at SparkFun are way into picking up tiny things. To make sure we're always up to date on the latest in 'tweezing' technology, we're always buying and testing new tweezers. Okay... tweezers aren't exactly the most exciting thing in the world, but they are super handy. These are nice, solid straight tweezers. They have a very fine tip which allows you to pick up very small parts with precision. This is a great tool to have if you're...
