This panel of WS2812 LEDs is an configured in an 8 x 32 arrangement. Each of the 256 LEDs can be individually controlled; meaning, these panels can be used to scroll colorful messages, create interesting light patterns, or draw symbols, and more. The panel has a chainable design and multiple panels can be used to form larger displays.
Since each LED has its own driver, there is no need for power transistors. Simply apply 5V DC power, and provide a digital signal and that’s it! Due to the frequency of the data signal, these require a real time microcontroller such as an AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, ect. They will not work with Linux based micro-computers, Netduinos, or the Basic Stamp.
To use these LEDs: Connect your digital pin to the “IN” pad (data in) on the back of the module and supply power. The FastLED library for Arduino is a great starting point!
Keep in mind that these panels draw quite a bit of current. With 256 WS2812 LEDs it is possible to pull upwards of 15A with all LEDs set to display white at full brightness. There are three separate power connections on the back, we advise using all of them.
Please Note: While these are flexible, we don’t recommend them for repeated flexing. We do not guarantee these against broken traces or LEDs caused due to repeated flexing, bending too far, or folding. Handle with care!

Have you ever wanted to build your own weather station? This can be a very rewarding (and useful) project. Weather stations require a variety of different sensors to accurately monitor the different environmental conditions that we consider weather.
This package of sensors specifically focuses on wind and rain. The kit includes an anemometer to measure wind speed, a wind vane to measure wind direction, and a tipping rain gauge to measure the amount of rain that has fallen. Since these types of sensors need to be mounted above ground to be accurate, this kit includes a metal mast and mounting points for each sensor.
All three sensors do not contain any active electronics. To get any useful information from these sensors a microcontroller with available digital and analog pins will be required! The tipping rain gauge and the anemometer both use a simple reed switch while the wind direction sensor uses a resistor array to output a specific voltage for each of the 16 measurable directions.
Each sensor is supplied with RJ11 terminated cables. These can be plugged into our Raspberry Pi Pico Weather Board for the Pico, our Raspberry Pi Weather Board for the Raspberry Pi, or RJ11 Breakout Boards for just about anything else. Combine with other weather sensors to build your very own weather station.

The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera is the latest camera release from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. This camera offers higher resolution, better low light sensitivity, and is designed to work with interchangeable lenses.
The High Quality Camera features a high resolution 12.3 megapixel Sony IMX477 image sensor. This sensor has 50% more area per pixel, meaning much better low light performance and overall image quality.
This camera module does not include a lens; however, it is required. We stock a wide-angle or telephoto lens – alternatively, you can use any C- and CS-mount lens (or other form factor with an adapter).
The HQ Camera connects to the Raspberry Pi using the same CSI connector as the standard camera and is compatible with all models of the Pi. Any version of the Pi Zero with a CSI slot can also use this camera with an adapter cable.

What fits in your pocket, is fully Open Source, and can run CircuitPython, MakeCode Arcade or Arduino games you write yourself? That’s right, it’s the Adafruit PyGamer! The PyGamer is powered the ATSAMD51 with 512KB of flash and 192KB of RAM. The PyGamer also features 8 MB of QSPI flash for file storage, handy for images, fonts, sounds, or game assets.
On the front you get a 1.8″ 160×128 color TFT display with dimmable backlight – it has fast DMA support for drawing so updates are incredibly fast. A dual-potentiometer analog stick gives you great control, with easy diagonal movement – or really any direction you like. There’s also 4 square-top buttons. The buttons are arranged to mimic a gaming handheld, with 2 menu-select buttons and 2 fire-action buttons. There’s also 5 NeoPixel LEDs to dazzle or track activity.
On the back there is a full Feather-compatible header socket set, so you can plug in any FeatherWing to expand the capabilities of the PyGamer. There’s also 3 STEMMA connectors – two 3-pin with ADC/PWM capability and one 4-pin that connects to I2C – you can use this for Grove sensors as well.
For built in sensors, there’s a light sensor that points out the front, and a 3-axis accelerometer that can detect taps and free-fall. To make bleeps and bloops, plug in any set of stereo headphones. For projects where you need more volume, you can attach an 8 ohm speaker. The PyGamer will auto-switch to headphones when they’re plugged in, otherwise play through the speaker.
You can power the PyGamer from any of our LiPoly batteries. An on-off switch will save battery power when not in use. Or power from the Micro USB port – it will also charge up the battery if one is attached.
Now, how to program it? Well you’ve got a lot of options!
Please Note: Batteries and USB Cable are not included.

Sometimes the Arduino Uno just doesn’t have enough pins to run your project; that is where the Arduino Mega 2560 comes in! Based on the ATMEGA2560 chipset, the Mega has enough to get most projects running; it features more memory, multiple hardware serial ports, 54 digital pins, and 14 analog inputs!
The Mega is programmed using the Arduino IDE software, which is freely available from the Arduino website. The software is used to write code which is then uploaded to the Arduino and stored internally so it can run on its own. The software, documentation, and wide variety of tutorials available make this a great choice for anyone looking to get into the world of programming and electronics.
The board has a single USB “B” port (used to program and power the board) a DC Barrel jack for power (7 – 15VDC input), 54 digital pins capable of being inputs our outputs along with 14 10-bit analog inputs. The Mega 2560 also has 4 hardware serial ports, SPI, and I2C; these are typically used to communicate with other boards, advanced sensors, displays, or wireless modules.
To get the Mega up and running you will need a Windows / Mac / Linux computer with a USB port and the Arduino IDE software installed (Version 1.0 or newer) . To connect the Arduino to your computer a USB “B” cable (USB printer cable) is required.

Is there a better way to learn electronics and learn to code than with a robot kit? Probably not – robots are great! The SparkFun micro:bot is an easy to assemble kit that allows you to turn your BBC micro:bit into a wheeled robot… after all, nothing is more engaging than building your own wheeled minion to follow you around!
The micro:bit is already quite well suited for beginner robotics; it is easy to program, it has built in Bluetooth for communication, an accelerometer and magnetometer for navigation, and a powerful microcontroller… it just needs a frame to attach more sensors, a few wheels, motors, and it is ready to roll – and that is where this kit comes in! The easy to assemble chassis requires no tools and simply snaps together. There are plenty of additional mounting points on the SparkFun micro:bot; these can be used for servos, motors, additional sensors, and whatever else you may want to add in the future.
The included moto:bit control board takes all the complex wiring and circuitry out of the equation. An onboard voltage regulator powers the micro:bit, while a motor controller takes care of driving the motors. Standardized headers allow various sensors to be plugged in to further improve the capabilities of your very own robot!
Update: As of April 2020 we are now shipping V2.0 of this kit. The included moto:bit board has been updated to include a Qwiic connector and a new version of the BBC micro:bit edge connector.
Included Parts: | |
• 2 x Wheels • 2 x Gearmotors • 2 x Servos • 3 x Redbot Line Follow Sensors |
• 3 x Assembled jumper cables • 1 x Battery Pack • 1 x Shadow Chassis • 1 x SparkFun moto:bit |
