Fill In the Gaps With These New Products
This week, we have three new products that should hopefully fill in some of the gaps in your next project or workbench!
Hello everyone and welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics! This week, we have three new products that might be useful if you're needing a different option of distance measurement, ISM/LoRa connection, or if you need a breakout for a rotary encoder you already own. Yup, three new products to take a closer look at. Let's go!
$6.95
This is the HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor, now in SparkFun Red! This economical sensor provides 2cm to 400cm of non-contact measurement functionality with a ranging accuracy that can reach up to 3mm. Each HC-SR04 module includes an ultrasonic transmitter, a receiver and a control circuit.
The Taoglas FXP895 is an ISM/LoRA compact flexible PCB antenna designed to fit into small devices. This antenna has been expertly designed to cover frequencies used in different regions for ISM/LoRA applications, incorporating a wideband design is rare for ISM/LoRA products and with the FXP895 frequencies from 860-928MHz can be covered so one SKU can be used for global ISM/LoRA applications.
This is a breakout board for the enigmatic EVQWGD001 by Panasonic. The EVQWGD001 is a roller wheel encoder with a press-to-select switch. It is similar to what you might find on a steering wheel or other circa 2000s automotive input.
That's it for this week for us at SparkFun. As always, we can't wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or let us know on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn. Please be safe out there, be kind to one another! Happy hacking!
