Always, always, always wear eye protection while soldering. This is a golden rule we all know but sometimes overlook. Luckily, with these SparkFun Safety Glasses you'll have a pair of lightweight, economical, and stylish lenses to protect your precious peepers. Each pair of these safety glasses removes the SparkFun Geek logo from the lens and adds a single SparkFun flame to the left temple arm. We use these for eye protection in our production lines and classrooms here at SparkFun HQ!...

This is a simple cable that adapts from a USB port to a 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector, center positive. This cable allows the user to use a USB port on a computer, laptop, or on our cigarette power supply to provide our development boards with 5V. The USB specification limits current consumption to a max of 500mA from a USB port but this is more than enough to run a simple development board. Cable length is 3 feet.

Two pin JST connector to a 2.1x 5.5mm barrel jack, 6.25 inch long jumper cable. We use this cable to adapt from a wall power supply to a relatively small, SMD JST connector. We found that many of the SMD connectors used for battery charging were too large or were not capable of through-putting the current we wanted for faster charging. This setup, with a SMD JST connector and wall power supply, can handle up to 2A!

Solder wick, coffee, and paper towels keep SparkFun running. You can steal someone's diagonal cutters for a minute, but you'd better ask before touching their solder wick. Solder wick is a composed of copper threads braided together. Flux is normally added to help the solder flow from where it is not supposed to be (the jumper) to the wick. Hence, solder wick is sometimes called desolder braid. Yes, you really can solder anything, and solder wick is a large part of the process. TechSpray makes...

When working with small parts, sometimes you need magnification and some extra light. This is a monocle we use regularly in our production facility. It has a 10x lens with a working distance of about 1-1/2". The 1" diameter eye piece fits snugly around your eye with a 15" aluminum-core headband. The LED provides sufficient light at the working distance. This loop magnifier set itself apart in our eyes because of the little LED on the side. Trying to view SMD connections is hard enough - the...

This is a solderer's best helper, the third hand. Comes with a heavy base, two alligator clips, a soldering iron holder, and a good magnifying glass. Note that we don't normally need a third hand. It's nice, but soldering flat on a table works just fine. Then again, the desk is starting to look like a mine field of burn marks and melted pot holes. What we've found with many of these cheaper third hand is the lack of stability. The small base on this unit does not make the problem any better....

This is your basic spool of lead free solder with a water soluble resin core. 0.031" gauge and 100 grams. This is a good spool for more advanced users that should last 6-12 months depending on how often you solder. If you are just beginning to solder, we recommend you order the leaded solder.

Polymorph is a non-toxic, biodegradable polyester with a low melting temperature of about 60°C (140°F). Prototype plastic parts can be made by simply heating the plastic beads in hot water until they turn clear and then kneading them together and shaping by hand. When it cools it becomes a nylon-like white plastic. Polymorph can be re-used by simply re-heating and re-shaping. Plastic beads are supplied in a re-usable plastic container. So what do you do with it? Robotics, small-parts...

The Bluetooth Mate is very similar to our BlueSMiRF modem, but it is designed specifically to be used with our Arduino Pros and LilyPad Arduinos. These modems work as a serial (RX/TX) pipe, and are a great wireless replacement for serial cables. Any serial stream from 2400 to 115200bps can be passed seamlessly from your computer to your target. Bluetooth Mate has the same pin out as the FTDI Basic, and is meant to plug directly into an Arduino Pro, Pro Mini, or LilyPad Mainboard. Because we've...

XBee radios are an awesome way to add wireless capability to your Arduino project and now it's even easier with the SparkFun XBee Shield. The shield form-factor mates directly with any dev board that has an Arduino standard footprint and equips it with wireless communication capabilities using the popular XBee module. This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and 2, standard and Pro versions. The serial pins (DIN and DOUT) of the XBee are connected through an DPDT switch,...

This is the HackRF One, a Software Defined Radio (SDR) peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1MHz to 6GHz. Designed to enable test and development of modern and next generation radio technologies, HackRF One is an open source hardware platform that can be used as a USB peripheral or programmed for stand-alone operation. If you are wondering what a SDR actually is, it's OK we can help. A Software Defined Radio is essentially a radio communication device that...

This is the SparkFun Real Time Clock (RTC) Module, this little breakout that uses the DS1307 to keep track of the current year, month, day as well as the current time. The module comes fully assembled and includes a small CR1225 Lithium coin cell battery that will run the RTC for a minimum of 9 years (17 years typical) without an external 5V power supply. The DS1307 RTC is accessed via the I2C protocol. We've written a test-bed to program the modules, this code should give you some insight on...

This is a simple 8" long 2.5mm audio cable. It is terminated with a 2.5mm audio plug on one side and unterminated with bare wires on the other end. These are to be used with the ModKit shields. The 2.5mm plug is the same one used by many devices. A lot of older cell phones used this size for the headsets. It is the audio jack size generally used on a lot of portable electronics that didn't use the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack. Also, the Rebel line of Canon dSLRs use this jack for shutter...
