• Develop interesting projects for the Arduino using GPS technology• Develop coding based applications for advanced projects• Highly sensitive receiver & wide channel give reliable GPS reception•-165 d Bm sensitivity, 10 Hz updates, 66 channels•5V friendly design & only 20m A current draw• Breadboard friendly + two mounting holes•RTC battery-compatible• Built-in datalogging•PPS output on fix•>25 Km altitude• Internal patch antenna + u.FL connector for external active antenna• Fix status LEDThe breakout is built around the MTK3339 chipset, a no-nonsense, high-quality GPS module that can track up to 22 satellites on 66 channels, has an excellent high-sensitivity receiver (-165 d B tracking!), & a built in antenna. It can do up to 10 location updates a second for high speed, high sensitivity logging or tracking. Power usage is incredibly low, only 20 m A during navigation. Best of all, we added all the extra goodies you could ever want: a ultra-low dropout 3.3V regulator so you can power it with 3.3-5VDC in, 5V level safe inputs, ENABLE pin so you can turn off the module using any microcontroller pin or switch, a footprint for optional CR1220 coin cell to keep the RTC running & allow warm starts & a tiny bright red LED. The LED blinks at about 1 Hz while it's searching for satellites & blinks once every 15 seconds when a fix is found to conserve power. If you want to have an LED on all the time, we also provide the FIX signal out on a pin so you can put an external LED on. Two features that really stand out about version 3 MTK3339-based module is the external antenna functionality & the the built in data-logging capability. The module has a standard ceramic patch antenna that gives it -165 d B sensitivity, but when you want to have a bigger antenna, you can snap on any 3V active GPS antenna via the u FL connector. The module will automatically detect the active antenna & switch over! Most GPS antennas use SMA connectors so you may want to pick up one of our u FL to SMA adapters. The other cool feature of the new MTK3339-based module (which we have tested with great success) is the built in datalogging ability. Since there is a microcontroller inside the module, with some empty FLASH memory, the newest firmware now allows sending commands to do internal logging to that FLASH. The only thing is that you do need to have a microcontroller send the " Start Logging" comm&. However, after that message is sent, the microcontroller can go to sleep & does not need to wake up to talk to the GPS anymore to reduce power consumption. The time, date, longitude, latitude, & height is logged every 15 seconds & only when there is a fix. The internal FLASH can store about 16 hours of data, it will automatically append data so you don't have to worry about accidentally losing data if power is lost. It is not possible to change what is logged & how often, as its hardcoded into the module but we found that this arrangement covers many of the most common GPS datalogging requirements. We've tested this version of the Ultimate GPS in a high-altitude balloon, & it kept fix up to 27km! A full tutorial is also available, which has tons of information about the module, how to use the data logger & more ...

• Reprogrammable micro-controller, analogue output, TTL serial output for debugging / data logging & of course, open source.• Data is passed through transparently from end to end, so you can use it with any USB (Universal Serial Bus) device at any speed• The power line has a 0.1 ohm current sense resistor an an INA169 high-side current sensor that is tracked by a little ATtiny 85 chip• The microcontroller is programmed to read the current draw as well as the bus voltage & light up the strip of LEDs on the side• The blue LEDs will light up, one for each Watt of power draw (which is ~200m A at 5V nominal), with a couple levels of PWM dimming for increasing current• You can measure up to 1A of current draw
- most USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports are rated for 500m A• It's safe to use this with something that draws up to 2 A of current, it'll just 'max out' the LEDs• The green LED is helpful to tell if you have too much droop on your power line• It stays lit as long as the voltage is higher than 4.5V, most devices won't charge effectively once it goes below that so if the green LED goes out, you know you should check your port, shorten the USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable, or reduce the current draw• It also prints out the voltage, current & wattage data as readable text on the TX pin at 9600 baud. Connect an FTDI friend, USB (Universal Serial Bus) console cable, microcontroller, XBee, whatever you want that can read 9600 baud TTL serial data for data logging, plotting or display• Please Click here to find the source code & schematic This little USB (Universal Serial Bus) port go-between is like a speed gauge for your USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices. Instead of hauling out a multimeter & splicing cables, plug this in between for a quick reading on how much current is being drawn from the port. Great for seeing the charge rate of your phone or tablet, checking your battery chargers, or other USB (Universal Serial Bus) powered projects. Comes as a mini kit with an assembled & tested PCB plus a separate USB (Universal Serial Bus) jack & plug as shown above. Before use, solder the jack & plug. It'll only take you a few minutes & can be done with any soldering iron. Or, advanced users can splice it between a USB (Universal Serial Bus) extension cable. Please note: this is a handy gadget but it isn't a multimeter! We do some basic calibration during test, but the serial output readings are not precise & should be used as a basic guide rather than lab-grade data plots. Assume a variance of at least 0.1V & 50m A due to noise, thermal changes, etc.

This means you can plug the output into headphones or a stereo without risk of damage• Click here for the Adafruit tutorial This breakout board is the ultimate companion for the VLSI VS1053B DSP codec chip. The VS1053 can decode a wide variety of audio formats such as MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WMA, MIDI, FLAC, WAV (PCM & ADPCM). It can also be used to record audio in both PCM (WAV) & compressed Ogg Vorbis. You can do all sorts of stuff with the audio as well such as adjusting bass, treble, & volume digitally. There is also 8 GPIO pins that can be used for stuff like lighting up small LEDs or reading buttons. All this functionality is implemented in a light-weight SPI interface so nearly any microcontroller can play audio from an SD card. There's also a special MIDI mode that you can boot the chip into that will read 'classic' 31250 Kbaud MIDI data on a UART pin & act like a synth/drum machine
- there are dozens of built-in drum & sample effects! But the chip is a pain to solder, & needs a lot of extras. That's why we spun up the best breakout, perfect for use with an Arduino but also good for other microcontrollers that just don't have the computational power to decode MP3s. The breakout is slim enough to fit on a breadboard with 1 row of holes left over for wiring. There's 3.3v & 1.8v regulators onboard with ferrite beads & analogue filtering for quality analogue output. There's a microphone input port that you can wire up a line-in or mic to & record compressed audio. All 8 GPIO are broken out & they all have built in 100K pulldowns, simply connect your button from the GPIO pin to 3.3V for an active-high connection. You'll likely want to play music from a micro SD card so we added a holder on-board. & since we know so many of our customers use 5V microcontrollers like the Arduino, we made the interface pins all 5V compliant with level shifters so you can use the chip at 3V or 5V power/logic! Each order comes with a fully assembled & tested breakout board, some 0.1" male header you can solder to the breakout so it plugs into a breadboard & a bonus stereo headphone jack that will be handy when you want to plug headphones in!

Adafruit VCNL4000 Proximity / Light Sensor

•Short range - best results in the 10-150mm range•5V compliant so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V logic•Works best at 5V as the VIN powers the IR LED and the higher the voltage, the more powerful it is•Works with any microcontroller with i2c capability•Ambient light sensor built in•23mm by 23mm, total thickness 3.15mmThe VCNL4000 sensor is a nice way to add a small-distance proximity sensor to your microcontroller project. For longer distances (in the range of cm, you can use a SHARP IR distance sensor, but those are only good if the object is over 10 cm away. The VCNL4000 is designed for much shorter distances, no more than 200mm (about 7.5") and under our experimentation we found it worked best at distances of about 10-150mm. It would be good for say detecting when a hand
moved nearby, or before a robot smacks into a wall. The sensor also has an ambient light sensor built in. This sensor is easy to use with any microcontroller that has i2c capability. It is 5 volt compliant so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V logic with no risk of damage. There is an onboard 3.3V ultra low dropout regulator so you can power it with 3.3 to 5.0V. However, if you can give it 5.0V that is ideal since the VIN voltage powers the IR LED and the higher the voltage you can give it, the more powerful it is. We have working example code for this breakout, in the form of an Arduino sketch.
