Q&A
1. Does the LED flexible filament need a heatsink?
The LED filament does not need a heatsink. The LED uses a current of ≤10mA, and does not require heat dissipation.
2. Can the LED flexible filament be powered with an 18650 battery (DC3.7V)?
No, the LED filament voltage is standard DC3V.
If you use DC3.7V, the voltage is too high and the filament temperature will be very high, which will burn out the lamp beads.
3. Where is the LED flexible filament used?
Generally used in light bulbs, DIY hand-made toys, DIY decoration designs and home projects.
4. Can the flexible LED filament bend 90 degrees?
No. Maximum bending angle of LED filament≥30°
5. Can the flexible LED filament be freely cut to length?
No. If it is cut, it will not light up.
6. Can the length of the LED flexible filament be customized according to customer requirements?
No. The length is fixed.
7. Can LED flexible filament work in water?
No. But you can DIY by yourself and put the LED filament in a sealed transparent plastic tube to make it work in water.
8. What is the CRI of the LED flexible filament?
CRI≥80
9.What is the maximum current of the 130mm and 300mm LED flexible filaments?
130mm and 300mm maximum current must be ≤100mA
10. How do I light up the LED flexible filament?
Connect two AA batteries in series = 3V to light up the filament. Or use a 3V button battery CR2032. You will find what you need in our battery and enclosure collections.

Add an ear to your project with this well-designed electret microphone amplifier. This fully assembled and tested board comes with a 20-20KHz electret microphone soldered on. For the amplification, we use the Maxim MAX4466, an op-amp specifically designed for this delicate task! The amplifier has excellent power supply noise rejection, so this amplifier sounds really good and isn't nearly as noisy or scratchy as other mic amp breakouts we've tried!
This breakout is best used for projects such as voice changers, audio recording and audio-reactive projects that use FFT. On the back, we include a small trimmer pot to adjust the gain. You can set the gain from 25x to 125x. That's down to be about 200mVpp (for normal speaking volume about 6" away) which is good for attaching to something that expects 'line level' input without clipping, or up to about 1Vpp, ideal for reading from a microcontroller ADC. The output is rail-to-rail so if the sounds gets loud, the output can go up to 5Vpp!

Using it is simple
Connect GND to ground, VCC to 2.4-5VDC.
For the best performance, use the "quietest" supply available (on an for Arduino, this would be the 3.3V supply). The audio waveform will come out of the OUT pin. The output will have a DC bias of VCC/2 so when its perfectly quiet, the voltage will be a steady VCC/2 volts (it is DC coupled). If the audio equipment you're using requires AC coupled audio, place a 100uF capacitor between the output pin and the input of your device. If you're connecting to an audio amplifier that has differential inputs or includes decoupling capacitors, the 100uF cap is not required. The output pin is not designed to drive speakers or anything but the smallest in-ear headphones- you'll need an audio amplifier (such as 3.7W stereo amp) if you want to connect the amp directly to speakers. If you're connecting to a microcontroller pin, you don't need an amplifier or decoupling capacitor - connect the OUT pin directly to the microcontroller ADC pin. For audio-reactive projects, we suggest using an FFT driver library which can take the audio input and 'translate' it into frequencies.
The VL53L0X V2 time-of-flight range-finding sensor is a new generation of laser ranging modules. The VL53L0X is a Time of Flight distance sensor like no other you've used! The sensor contains a very tiny invisible laser source and a matching sensor. The VL53L0X can detect the "time of flight", or how long the light has taken to bounce back to the sensor. Since it uses a very narrow light source, it is good for determining the distance of only the surface directly in front of it. Unlike sonars that bounce ultrasonic waves, the 'cone' of sensing is very narrow. Unlike IR distance sensors that try to measure the amount of light bounced, the VL53L0x is much more precise and doesn't have linearity problems or 'double imaging' where you can't tell if an object is very far or very close.
The VL53L0X can handle about 50mm to 1200mm of range distance, yes, that is 1.2 meters :)
The sensor is small and easy to use in any robotics or interactive project. Since it needs 2.8V power and logic we put the little fellow on a breakout board with a regulator and level shifting. You can use it with any 3-5V power or logic microcontroller with no worries. Each order comes with a small piece of header pin. Solder the header onto your breakout board with your iron and some solder and wire it up for instant distance-sensing success!
Communicating to the sensor is done over I2C with an API written by ST, so it's not too hard to port it to your favorite microcontroller. We've written a wrapper library for Arduino so you can use it with any of your Arduino-compatible boards.
