10/15/2019 | By Kevin Walseth

Maker Faire Rome is here again and you may find yourself short on tools and materials while finishing up your latest project. DigiKey, a proud sponsor of Maker Faire Rome, stands ready to deliver in your hour of need. Whether it’s a single resistor, a development board, soldering iron or EDA tool, we have it ready to ship out same day. DigiKey stocks products from hundreds of popular suppliers such as TE Connectivity, Texas Instruments, Microchip, ADI (Analog Devices Inc.), and many more. In the Maker space, our suppliers include Adafruit, Sparkfun, Seeed Studio, Raspberry Pi, Kitronik, Lulzbot, Bantam Tools, Arduino, DF Robot, Pimoroni, and many others.

Our Maker Faire Rome 2019 booth features a few of the big suppliers we all know and love. Kitronik and Micro:Bit are joining us to answer your questions and share ideas. Micro:bit is prepared to show what’s new and explain the benefits of the Micro:bit platform in education and for the makers of the world. Kitronik is always coming up with something new and this year is no exception. The brilliant UK-based hardware add-on company is featuring new and exciting products.

DigiKey is showcasing a few of our maker products like the new Monster M4sk from Adafruit, Circuit Playground Express, and the latest Neotrellis that comes with some added features. The button making tools are back this year allowing anyone to instantly create a 2” button using our custom created Maker Faire Rome backdrop. Augmented reality is also a focus for our team and is sure to impress with two hands-on demos that include the Make Magazine Boards guide.
