The LIDAR-Lite Series - the v3 and v3HP - are compact optical distance measurement sensors, which are ideal for drones and unmanned vehicles.

This time we get hands-on: flashing three nodes with the Meshtastic firmware, configuring them through the phone app, and sending our first broadcast, direct, and encrypted channel messages.

The SparkFun Arduino ProtoShield PCB and ProtoShield kit lets you customize your own Arduino shield using whatever custom circuit you can come up with! This tutorial will go over its features, hardware assembly, and how to use shield.

In this first part, I want to cover what LoRa is, how mesh networking works, and how the two protocols differ, along with the hardware I will use for the rest of the series.

In this post, we size and simulate a common-source amplifier circuit in the Cadence Virtuoso tool using the gm/Id methodology and the open-source SKY130 PDK.

The LilyPad Light Sensor is a sewable breakout board with an ALS-PT19 light sensor on it. To use the light sensor, you will need to connect to a LilyPad Arduino or other microcontroller to read the sensor values and use them in your code.

Understand metric and imperial LED sizes, viewing angles, color temperature, brightness bins, and electrical ratings before ordering LED parts.

SparkFun offers two flavors of breakout board, one with just the sensor and another with an on-board amplifier to increase the sensitivity.

TL;DR: LoRaWAN™ is like cellphone towers for IoT that allow battery powered things to talk to the internet.

The goal of the project is to make an adjustable frequency circuit that could turn an LED on and off with a 555 timer so that it blinks at different rates.

This tutorial will focus mostly on PulseView with an eye towards logic analyzers.
