- ArduinoArduino is the most popular open source microcontroller platform on the market. These easy to program devices can read sensors, control relays, light up LEDs, and even talk to one another. Their ability to interact with the real world by way of sensors and other electronics makes them ideal for automation such as watering a plant when it is dry, reading the weather, or controlling lights when it gets dark – the possibilities are endless. We carry a variety of Arduino compatible microcontrollers from several manufacturers, each with their own specific strengths and purposes. To further specialize your microcontroller, we carry a large selection of daughter boards (shields) which can add powerful sensors, GPS, or even LCD screens to your project! Just getting started with microcontrollers? We carry a variety of Arduino starter kits to get you reading sensors and blinking lights as easily as quickly as possible!
- BBC micro:bitThe BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer designed for beginners in electronics and coding. The micro:bit makes getting into these often daunting fields as easy as possible. Programming the micro:bit V2 can be done by computer or by their intuitive app available for Android and iOS devices. Code can be designed using a drag and drop interface in the Blocks editor, Javascript, or Python.
- ESP8266 & ESP32The ESP8266 and ESP32 microcontrollers from Espressif are powerful, inexpensive, and feature integrated WiFi connectivity. These are ideal for IoT applications. We offer a variety of different ESP8266 and ESP32 modules for different skill levels.
- FeatherFeather is a flexible and powerful family of microcontroller main-boards (Feathers) and daughter-boards (Wings) designed with portability in mind. All Feathers have integrated battery connectors (and most have built in lipo chargers) The Feather form factor is not locked to a specific chipset or programming language. Feathers are available with a variety of chipsets and on-board features. Most Feathers and FeatherWings have example code and libraries written in Arduino C/C++ and CircuitPython.
- Makey MakeyThe Makey Makey kit is a electronics kit designed for beginners. It explores the concepts of creating circuits through everyday items. When plugged into a computer you can use the Makey Makey to make anything into a keyboard or mouse. No programming required! Projects like a Banana Drum Set, Cat Detector, Musical Stairs, and countless others are easier than you think! We carry the Makey Makey Classic Kit – a starter kit for the Makey Makey – along with extra alligator clips, copper conductive tape, and replacement cables.
- Raspberry PiThe Raspberry Pi was first introduced in early 2012 as a simple, low cost, computer fit onto a circuit board roughly the size of a credit card. The idea was to use this low cost computer to promote teaching of computer science in schools but it has grown to be so much more! Since its release, well over 30 million of these little computers have been sold. We have carried the Raspberry Pi in Canada since it first became available and have watched as the Pi has morphed into a complete development platform with powerful single-board computers, cameras, touchscreens, and other accessories. Its multitude of inputs and outputs for electronics and computer peripherals and its impressive computing power mean it can be used to make just about anything you can imagine. The newest and most powerful version, the Raspberry Pi 4, is now available!

- AdafruitAdafruit was founded in 2005 by MIT engineer, Limor “Ladyada” Fried. Her goal was to create the best place online for learning electronics and making the best designed products for makers of all ages and skill levels. In the last 10 years, Adafruit has grown to over 100+ employees in the heart of NYC with a 50,000+ sq ft. factory.
- ArduinoArduino is an ever growing platform used by some of the most popular microcontrollers out there. For many of us, this is where it all started – the Arduino was (and still is today) a pioneer when it comes to making programming hardware easy and accessible. We have one of the largest selections of Arduino and Arduino accessories in Canada. These range from basic Arduino Uno, to Cellular and WiFi connected devices perfect for the Internet of Things, and all the accessories needed to get them running!
