20×4 Character LCD for RepRap Ramps 1.4
This 20×4 LCD board is used with the RAMPS 1.4 3D printer controller. You simply connect the LCD to the RAMPS board. This control unit has a built in SD card reader, rotary encoder as well as a 20×4 LCD display.
5V 10A Switching Power Supply
This is a high quality AC to DC switching power adapter which gives a clean regulated 5VDC output at up to 10A. These adapter works with both 110 and 240VAC input, allowing them to work in any country! The barrel plug attached to these wall adapters are center positive with 2.1mm diameter.
ESP8266 Grove WiFi Module
UART WiFi is a serial transceiver module featuring the ubiquitous ESP8266 IoT SoC. With integrated TCP/IP protocol stack, this module lets your microcontroller interact with WiFi networks with only a few lines of code. Each ESP8266 module comes pre-programmed with an AT command set firmware, meaning you can send simple text commands to control the device. The SoC features integrated WEP, WPA/WPA2, TKIP, AES, and WAPI engines, can act as an access point with DHCP, can join existing WiFi networks and has configurable MAC and IP addresses.
MAX31855 Type K Thermocouple Amplifier
Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference. The MAX31855K does everything for you, and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller, even one without an analog input. This breakout board has the chip itself, a 3.3V regulator with 10uF bypass capacitors and level shifting circuitry, all assembled and tested. Comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple) and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard).
MMA7260 & LISY300 – 6 DOF Atomic IMU
The 6DOF Atomic is a stripped-down IMU, designed to give good performance. The unit can run as a hard-wired UART interface (0-3.3V, 115200bps), or optionally with an XBee RF module, and is powered from a single LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery. The processor is an Atmel ATMega328 running at 10MHz with 6 dedicated 10-bit ADC channels reading the sensors. Source code for the 6DOF Atomic is freely available and compiles with the free AVR GCC compiler.
Type K Thermocouple
Thermocouples are best used for measuring temperatures that can go above 100 Degree C. This is a bare wires bead-probe which can measure air or surface temperatures. Most inexpensive thermocouples have a vinyl covering which can melt at around 200 Degree C, this one uses a fiberglass braid so it can be used in high temperature measurements such as heaters and ovens. There’s a small piece of heat shrink on the end to keep the fiberglass from fraying. If you’re using at >250 Degree C temperatures, simply remove it with a small blade.
EC3 Connector Set
These connectors are made from high-temp nylon with gold-plated spring pins or sockets molded in. The shape of this generic EC3 prevents reverse polarity, and when plugged in the connection is super-solid. Perfect for applications up to 65A continuous draw. Sold in pairs of 1 male and 1 female connector.

10 Pin Circular Connector Set – Panel Mount
This 10 pin circular connector set has both the plug and socket. These connectors are panel mount style connectors with a diameter of 15.6mm. These connectors are often used as power connectors as they are rated for up to 6A.
AT42QT1010 Capacitive Touch Sensor (Momentary)
This breakout board is the simplest way to create a project with a single “momentary” capacitive touch sensor. No microcontroller is required here – just power with 1.8 to 5.5VDC and touch the pad to activate the sensor. When a capacitive load is detected (e.g. a person touches the sensor-pad area) the red LED lights up and the output pin goes high. You can also solder a wire to the middle pad and create your own capacitive pad if the built-in one isn’t suited to your project.
BD140 – PNP Power Transistor (-80V -1.5A)
Power Transistors are transistors which can handle a lot more power in compared to BJTs. Similar to BJTs, the current flow between the collector and the emitter of is controlled by the current flow through the base.
8 Pin Low Profile Connector Set
The low profile header set is great for making your own PCB wire connections. This is a low profile header set, which includes a wire housing, pcb socket, as well as the crimpable pins. The pitch spacing for the socket is 2.54mm.
WS2812 RGB LED Wireless Controller
This WS2812 RGB LED wireless controller can be used to control the 3 wire WS2812 LED strips. You can control up to 30M of LEDs with a wireless distance of 50M. The remote uses a 433.920MHz RF signal and operates with a CR2025 coin cell battery.
12V 2A Step Up/Down Regulator
This powerful step-up/step-down regulator efficiently produces a fixed 12 V output from input voltages between 3 V and 30 V while allowing a typical output current of up to 2 A when the input voltage is close to the output voltage and offering typical efficiencies of 80% to 90%. Its ability to convert both higher and lower input voltages makes it useful for applications where the power supply voltage can vary greatly, as with batteries that start above but discharge below the regulated voltage.
PICAXE-14M
PICAXE is a neat entry-level microcontroller system that is relatively cheap to get started with. The chip is programmed with a simple serial connection and the BASIC development environment is free! PICAXE has some excellent educational applications and support, and is a great entryway into more complicated embedded systems.
Stackable Header for Raspberry Pi
Stackable Header for Raspberry Pi
Stack multiple plates, breakouts etc onto your Raspberry Pi Model B+ with this custom-made extra-tall and extra-long 2×20 female header. The female header part has extra spaces to make it 23mm tall: when placed on your Pi, a PCB will clear the Ethernet and USB jacks. The stacky pin part is also extra-long, 10mm, so that when a standard 1.5mm thickness PCB is installed, there will be 8.5mm remaining, plenty to plug into.
