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.
Featured Products
Contact Cleaner – 312g
This is a high performance contact and electronic parts cleaner. Contact cleaner is a powerful cleaner and general purpose electronic degreaser. It effectively penetrates inaccessible areas and remove dirt, grease and other contaminants. This advanced formula is safe for most plastics as well as painted and plated surfaces.
Audio FX Mini Sound Trigger Board – 16MB
Would you like to add audio/sound effects to your next project, without an Arduino+Shield Or maybe you don’t even know how to use microcontrollers, you just want to make a sound play whenever you press a button. What about something that has to be very small and portable You are probably feeling a little frustrated: it’s been very hard to find a simple, low cost audio effects trigger that is easy to use and does not require any programming
Flora Accelerometer & Compass
Flora Accelerometer & Compass
Add motion and direction sensing to your wearable FLORA project with this high precision 3-axis Accelerometer+Compass sensor. Inside are two sensors, one is a classic 3-axis accelerometer, which can tell you which direction is down towards the Earth (by measuring gravity) or how fast the board is accelerating in 3D space. The other is a magnetometer that can sense where the strongest magnetic force is coming from, generally used to detect magnetic north. By combining this data you can then orient yourself.
Silver Metal Knob – 14x22mm
Knobs are a great way to finish off your project and make it easier to adjust the level of your death ray. This knob mates to a 0.25″ shaft. The knob slides onto the potentiometer and holds tightly with a strong friction fit. This knob has a height of 14mm and a diameter of 22mm.
Thermoelectric Cooler – 40 x 40mm
Thermoelectric coolers (TEC or Peltier) create a temperature differential on each side. One side gets hot and the other side gets cool. Therefore, they can be used to either warm something up or cool something down, depending on which side you use. You can also take advantage of a temperature differential to generate electricity. The thermal tape listed below works very well to attach heat sinks to the hot side.
Flexiforce Pressure Sensor – 1lb
This is a piezeoresistive force sensor from Tekscan. The harder you press, the lower the sensor s resistance. Pressing lightly, the resistance changes from infinite to ~300k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but the resistance does not change while being flexed. Resistance changes only when pressure is applied to the round area at the end of the sensor. Used as a presence sensor (someone standing), weight sensor, pressure sensor (impact testing), etc.
496mm 0824 Mounting Beam
The 0824 series of mounting beams are made from 6061 aluminum with anodized surface. These mounting beams are perfect for structural components due to its excellent strength and twist resistance. There are many holes on the mounting beam for hardware connections, each hole has a diameter of 4mm.
