ScoutMakes FM Radio Board STEMMA I2C
The ScoutMakes FM radio board is a great way to learn about the world of electronics. It is a I2C breakout board for the RDA5807 FM radio chip by RDA Microelectronics. The board supports Arduino and CircuitPython. Libraries and example code are provided by to help you get started. The board also has connectors which support SparkFun's Qwiic and Adafruit's Stemma QT I2C connector standards, JST 4-pin. he RDA5807 also has RDS (Radio Data System) capability where station information (station name, song name) can be received. The example code shows RDS information as well.
ScoutMakes Robot Kit
Robotics and industrial automation are everywhere these days. Robots help build, package, and ship everything from your breakfast cereal to your car. With that in mind, we designed the ScoutMakes Robot kit to help those with an interest in robotics learn the basics. With it, you will create a simple, wheeled robot while developing a familiarity with concepts like mechanical assembly and motor control. This kit also includes a piezoelectric buzzer and NeoPixels that allow your robot to play sounds and glow while it’s moving around.
ScoutMakes FM Radio Kit
The ScoutMakes FM Radio Kit provides an engaging exploration of Frequency Modulation (FM) radio. And, thanks to BLE, you can control it from across the room. To build an FM radio receiver, you would typically need several components, including resistors, capacitors, transistors, and an amplifier. But thanks to advancements technology, there are now several single-chip, integrated-circuit (IC) receivers on the market. To make our FM Radio Kit as accessible and easy-to-use as possible, we chose one such chip—the RDA5807M, which is broadcast FM stereo tuner with a fully integrated synthesizer and a powerful low-IF digital audio processor—and we baked it into a PCB that complies with the Feather and STEMMA standards. That chip is programmable by way a CircuitPython library.
Sound Reactive NeoPixel Peace Pendant
In this project you will make a sound reactive NeoPixel LED pendant using an Arduino Gemma.The pendant is also rechargeable, and the electronics housed in a 3D printed enclosure.
