With the SparkFun Qwiic Connect System expanding every day, we want to make sure it becomes as accessible as possible but we understand there are other systems that can complement it out there. The Qwiic to Grove Adapter Cable allows interoperability between the SparkFun Qwiic Connect System and the I²C based Grove boards from Seeed Studio. Now you can plug Seeed Studio boards you may have onto the Qwiic bus or you can use this cable to introduce Qwiic sensors, inputs, and outputs into your Grove system.

Note: The Grove system has a variety of different signal systems that use the same connector. This cable only works with the I²C variety.

This handy little USB thingymajig allows you to power your Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 from a USB port, keeping your GPIO pins free for HATs or jumper wires.

The Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 (7" or 5") is powered by your Pi's GPIO pins using the provided cable and that weird block connector. If you're using a HAT on your Raspberry Pi, fitting this connector can be tricky, and sometimes impossible depending on the HAT's socket type. Sure you could use a stacking header passed through the HAT (if the HAT supports that), but we wanted something more compact that would work in every situation.

Simply plug the Touch Display 2 connector into the three pins on the USB module, pop that into any USB port on your Raspberry Pi, and that's about it! The module has a low header that makes it pretty much impossible to fit the display connector the wrong way around, and it's labelled as well, just in case you need extra reassurance.

You can also just use this as a generic 5V USB breakout, giving you 5V and GND pins to feed your other 5V things.

Works with the 7" and 5" versions of the Touch Display 2.

Features

• USB power breakout for Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 - Compatible with 7" and 5" versions
• Power your Touch Display 2 without blocking your GPIO header for HATs
• Low pins and pin labels to avoid fitting the wrong way around
• Pre-assembled - no soldering required
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5/4/3/3B+/2/1
• Black PCB with smooth, rounded edges
• Designed in the UK by ePlop!

MT3608 regulator boards are compact DC-DC boost converter modules designed to increase low DC input voltages to higher regulated outputs. The MT3608 is a step-up (boost) regulator: VOUT must be higher than VIN; it cannot step down. Typical input range is 2 V to 24 V, with adjustable outputs up to approximately 28 V. Continuous output current is typically 1A (2 A max peak), depending on boost ratio and cooling. Efficiency can reach about 90% under optimal operating conditions.

Specifications

• Input Voltage: 2 - 24V
• Output Voltage: 2 - 28V

Everyone loves the 1602-character LCD, it is cheap and works out of the box! But the need for 6 to 10 GPIOs is the pain :) It takes most of the GPIO of Arduino and other microcontrollers. Now with this I2C or Two wires interface LCD, you will save a lot of GPIO for your sensor and motor control.

This is a great blue backlight LCD display. As the pin resources of the Arduino controller are limited, your project may not be able to use a normal LCD shield after being connected with a certain quantity of sensors or SD cards. However, with this I2C interface LCD module, you can realize data display via only 2 wires. If you already have I2C devices in your project, you can still program this LCD with the correct I2C address. It is fantastic for Arduino-based projects. 

Note: If the display is not clear (or blank), try to adjust the contrast level by tuning the onboard potentiometer.

Features

• I2C Address: 0x27 
• Backlight (White character on Blue background) 
• Supply voltage: 5V 
• Size: 82x35x18 mm 
• Come with I2C interface

This neat little 3DBi ADS-B 1090Mhz SMA Antenna with Magnetic Base is designed to receive ADS-B data from aircraft! It features an SMA Male connecter, so it's compatible with all ADS-B receivers including FlightAware Dongles, PiAware, Mode S Beast, Radarcape, Kinetic SBS1/SBS3, RTL Dongles, and more. It's designed to attach neatly to an internal metal surface and track planes as they drift on by.

Customers should be aware that ADS-B signals do not penetrate solid surfaces well, and the antenna should be placed high and next to a thin external surface e.g. a window. Don't expect this to work well through 12" of brickwork!

Take your micro:bit projects off the desk and onto the breadboard. This T-type breakout board slots your micro:bit into a standard breadboard. It brings the edge connector pins out to a neat, labelled row, so wiring up LEDs, buttons, sensors and modules is quick and mistake-free.

The onboard voltage conversion supplies both 3.3V and 5V. You can safely power the micro:bit and still run 5V components on the same breadboard. The regulated supply gives a smoother, more stable output than improvised power setups, which means fewer glitches and more reliable results.

Its compact T-shaped design keeps your breadboard free for components. That makes it ideal for classroom experiments, prototyping and quick tests.

Features

• Designed for the BBC micro:bit development board
• Onboard 3.3V–5V voltage conversion for smooth, stable power
• Plugs directly into a standard breadboard
• Clearly labelled pin breakout for easy, accurate wiring
• Small footprint leaves more breadboard space for your experiments
• Great for STEM education, beginners and rapid prototyping

Please note: micro:bit and breadboard not included.

Before publishing, check two details against the supplier's spec sheet. First, confirm it works with both V1 and V2 micro:bits. Second, check whether it supplies 5V from the input or converts 5V down to 3.3V. You could then add a line such as "Compatible with micro:bit V1 and V2" or "Input voltage: 5V". It's also worth suggesting a matching breadboard and jumper wire pack from your Electronics section as an add-on.
