Hello and welcome, everyone! This week we have three new products to show off, starting with the TMP117 High Precision Temperature Sensor. This small, Qwiic-enabled board is incredibly accurate and perfect for your next environmental project. Next, we bring you the Himax Imaging Camera designed to work specifically with the SparkFun Edge Board to take advantage of its machine vision and learning capabilities. Last and certainly not least, we also have a new shrouded servo extension cable to make your robotics' life a little easier.
The SparkFun Qwiic TMP117 Breakout is a high precision temperature sensor equipped with an I2C interface. It outputs temperature readings with high precision of ±0.1°C across the temperature range of -20°C to +50°Cs with no calibration, and a maximum range from -55°C to 150°C. The SparkFun High Precision Temperature Sensor also has a very low power consumption rate, which minimizes the impact of self-heating on measurement accuracy. 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 HM01B0 from Himax Imaging is an ultra low power CMOS Image Sensor that enables the integration of an “Always On” camera for computer vision applications such as gestures, intelligent ambient light and proximity sensing, tracking and object identification. The sensor consumes very low power of <2mW at QVGA 30FPS. The low power consumption and vision applications make this camera the perfect pair for the SparkFun Edge Development Board, and it comes with a ribbon cable that mates to the camera connector populated on the Edge board.
This is a 12-inch servo extension cable that comes in handy when your servo is further away from the controller than the wire on the servo allows. The male connector on one end goes to controller, while the female connector mates with servo. The cable fits all Hitec, Futaba, JR, Multiplex and Airtronics Z servos.
That's it for this week! As always, we can't wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or let us know on Instagram or Facebook. We’d love to see what projects you’ve made!
ready gan?
