Combine 3D Printing and Robotics for a chance to win prizes and fame on the SparkFun blog.
Our newest RTK tool and our smallest stepper motor driver are now available! Make sure to stick around for another set of new iFixit tools, too!
We just wrapped up our AI Innovation Challenge with NVIDIA and Hackster and are so excited to share the projects! Winners feature an interactive GLaDOS Robot, a Gen AI-enhanced virtual try-on experience, and more! Thanks to the developers who made their ideas a reality!
Recently published on DigiKey's maker.io, Shawn Hymel extends the capability of the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) by adding the Coral Dev Board Micro to enable object detection.
After three amazing years, and with parts purchased straight from SparkFun, the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter makes its final flight.
SparkFun's newest Thing+ board is here, equipped with the powerhouse ESP32-C6 module and it's accompanied by the new MOSFET Power Switch and Buck Regulator! That's not all, though, because all XRP Kits parts are now available individually!
For those of you who prefer to 3D print your chassis, we are following up on the successful launch of the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) - Beta with the XRP DIY Kit. Also, spare parts are now available individually.
You’ve put together the XRP and got it moving, now for a servo and sensor challenge! Follow along with the latest video in the XRP series.
With the recent release of the Experiential Robotic Platform, or XRP, we wanted to get it into the hands of as many similarly tech-minded folks around the world as possible, and what better way to do that than by pairing up with FIRST Robotics? Hear all about my trip to Singapore for FIRST Global!
Follow along with DigiKey's Travis Foss as he shows how to build a program selector for the XRP, so you don't have to reupload your code every time you want to change tasks with your robot!
Many have received their XRP kit and have already started putting it together. The next logical step is to get it moving! Follow along with the latest video in the XRP series.
The new SparkFun IoT Brushless Motor Driver is now available with two new Tristimulus Color Sensors equipped with an OPT4048DTSR from TI!
To support everyone getting started with their XRP kit, we will be rolling out many helpful resources over time. Since pre-orders are starting to ship, we figured a good place to start is to provide three steps to get started
SparkFun's Qwiic Connect System has had a busy week being added to the new Experiential Robotics Platform, BeaglePlay, and Arduino Portenta C33!
We are so excited to finally reveal this kit to everyone who may want to pick one up! It is a comprehensive introduction to robotics that includes an easy-to-assemble hardware kit, coding environment, and online modules.
A small team from SparkFun had the awesome opportunity to attend the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Championship in Houston a couple weeks ago. This awesome event, which hosted ~50,000 attendees, was a testament to the FIRST community's passion, collaboration and inspiration - and it went WAY beyond robots.
The new TMC6300 3-Phase Motor Driver is now available and ready for your next robotics project!
Two new Air Velocity Sensor Qwiic Kits are now available! Also be sure to check out the new Raspberry Pi Debug Probe and Kitronik Servos Board, too!
