SparkFun Electronics

Looking to keep a log of the climate in your greenhouse, create a humidor control system or want to track temperature and humidity data for a weather station project? The SparkFun Humidity Sensor Breakout - SHTC3 (Qwiic) may be the perfect option for you!

The SparkFun Environmental Sensor - BME680 (Qwiic) is a breakout for the 4-in-1 BME680 gas sensor from Bosch. The BME680 combines a gas sensor with temperature, humidity and barometric pressure sensing for a complete environmental sensor in a single package.

When you first buy an Alchitry Au+, Alchitry Au, or Alchitry Cu board, the default FPGA configuration creates a fancy wave effect on the LEDs. In this tutorial we are going to walk through different steps for how to make something like this.

Pressure sensors are used in a wide range of applications. You can find them in the medical field , industrial uses, and have a wide range of consumer uses.

Let’s start at the beginning. What is an FPGA? Well, FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array, which isn’t helpful in understanding what they are or do but we had to get that out of the way.

In this tutorial I’m going to cover the basics of what creating designs for an FPGA looks like and the fundamental building blocks you get to use.
