Our deal of the week features the WVR Audio Development Board.

WVR is a next-generation sample player powered by an ESP32. WVR features 8GB of memory and an advanced Web GUI where users upload audio and manage configuration and firmware. WVR is Arduino compatible and open-source, and fits on a common breadboard, with room to access all the pins.

What happens when you combine a love of golf with a passion for open-source electronics?

Maker and golfer Coleman Rollins put together a handheld GPS shot tracker using SparkFun Qwiic components, an ESP32-S3, and a custom 3D-printed enclosure. The result is Open GPS, an open-source device that lets golfers measure their shots, track which clubs they're using, and save their data for later.

We have an eclectic mix of new products to check out this week!

Raspberry Pi has a new 10.1 inch touchscreen, we're now selling a standalone photoacoustic spectroscopy CO2 sensor, we're carrying some simple 2x20-pin female and male SMD right angle headers, and we have a huge sale on our Magnetic Imaging Tile!

Whether via zombies, meteorites, or some techno-apocalypse combo, WE ARE DOOMED!.. at some point.

Beyond food and shelter, what are you actually going to do during this (hopefully) temporary situation? For this eventuality — and your entertainment in the meantime — may we present "Portable Teensy Synth for the End of the World." This musical instrument is integrated into a hard case, and comes with built-in speakers, arcade buttons for control, a versatile USB power supply, and the ability to connect to larger systems.

Made in collaboration with Jeremy Cook, check out the full video!

Portable DIY Teensy Synth Anyone?

Four-voice polyphony, drum samples, built-in speakers, and a 3.5mm output jack, all running on a Teensy 4.1 inside a hard case you can carry with one hand.

We teamed up with Jeremy Cook to build a portable DIY synthesizer from arcade buttons, a Teensy Audio Shield, and a Qwiic Speaker Amp. Thirteen arcade buttons give you a full C3-to-C4 keyboard with sharps and flats, two more shift octaves up or down, and four trigger drum samples. The whole system handles four notes simultaneously, so chords actually work.

The real fun is in the design decisions. Jeremy wired every button through spade connectors and screw terminals so the main board lifts right out for modifications. USB battery power keeps it portable, and the audio path splits between internal speakers and an external jack for plugging into bigger systems or recording.

The full tutorial walks through the schematic, 3D-printed supports, wiring, and the Teensy Audio library code. The link is in the first comment if you want to build your own (or adapt it into something completely different).

We're going to FUSE San Francisco! Hosted by our friends at Point One Navigation, Inc., this one-day event features an incredible lineup of speakers and brings together engineers and technology leaders working on the challenges of high precision positioning with robots, autonomous vehicles, drones, or other intelligent machines.

SparkFun will be sharing a Septentrio-based high-precision GNSS kit that uses Point One correction services, demonstrating how developers can combine high-quality GNSS hardware with precision correction services to start experimenting with accurate real-world positioning. This demo will include documentation + hardware + Point One to provide RTK positioning (and we'll be giving away some kits too 😉).

We've recently released some updated current sensors with the INA228 and INA237 Qwiic Current Sensors and the ADE7953 Qwiic Non-Invasive Current Sensor and Kit.

With these releases, we realized that we have quite a few different and unique sensors that can measure and output power data, and that it could be a little confusing which sensor could be right for you. So let's go over a basic overview of what current is and the most popular SparkFun Original current sensors that we carry.

We even have a video with one of our engineers, Geoff, if you'd prefer to watch instead of reading a long form blog!
