Serial flash chips are everywhere and they're as useful as they are ubiquitous. If you've never used a serial flash device in your own projects, you should try it, because it's very handy to have a place to store things that don't fit in program memory. Things like sensor readings, long strings, and error logs can be hard to stow away on platforms that don't have a ton of in-built storage, which is where serial flash comes in. Simply write all of that data out over SPI for the flash chip to...

The Soft Power Switch is a passive, hard on/off switch with software feedback and control. In other words, it's like the on/off switch on a laptop. A simple press will turn the system on. Another press can (with MCU intervention) turn off the system. And if things go really wrong, pressing and holding the button will force a power-down. If you're building something with an enclosed battery and need a good power button, this is the board you need. The Sense/Control pin can act as an output to a...

These steppers have a threaded shaft, which allows them to be used as a linear actuator. As the motor runs, it moves along the shaft at a specific rate of 1cm per 5 full rotations. These are a good choice for linear motion where precision and repeatability are important. Note: It looks like the datasheet for this stepper may not be accurate. When connecting this motor to a bi-polar driver you'll want to wire it according to the wiring diagram in the documents below. Features: Step Distance:...
