Particle Mesh 2G/3G Bundle – Full Starter Kit: Woohoo, it’s time for a Particle Mesh party! So why not cater for connectivity with the Particle Mesh 2G/3G Cellular Bundle, a veritable smörgåsbord (yum!) to begin building mesh networking for your IoT project. Particle Mesh means you can create local networks that collect data, share messages, and connect to the Internet through a Particle gateway.

Vertical Breadboard-Friendly 3.5mm Mono Headphone Jack: Pipe audio in or out of your project with this very handy breadboard-friendly audio jack. It’s a stereo jack so you get left and right channels as well as a ground pin. You can use any 3.5mm stereo cable with this jack. The pins are on 0.1″ spacing so it plugs very solidly (and vertically!) into a breadboard, perma-proto or perf-board. Works best if soldered into a perf-board but does work in a solder-less one

4033 01

13.56MHz RFID/NFC White Tag – NTAG203 Chip: This is a blank 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Tag with an NTAG203 chip – often used for train/bus passes, information sharing, contactless payment, but also found in other systems where a proximity card is desired. The tag contains a small RFID chip and an antenna, and is passively powered by the reader/writer when placed a couple inches away.

4050 08

Tomu: Only 13mm long, Tomu really puts the micro in microprocessor. It’s fully open-source development board with the silabs Gecko EFM32HG309 processor, on a little board that can slot right into your computer or laptop USB A port (USB C users will need an adapter).

4059 02

Adafruit BMP280 I2C or SPI Barometric Pressure & Altitude Sensor – Assembled: Bosch has stepped up their game with their BMP280 sensor, an environmental sensor with temperature, barometric pressure that is the next generation upgrade to the BMP085/BMP180/BMP183. This sensor is great for all sorts of weather sensing and can even be used in both I2C and SPI!

Adafruit Grand Central – Coming Soon!: Are you ready? Really ready? Cause here comes the Adafruit Grand Central featuring the Microchip ATSAMD51. This dev board is so big, it’s not named after a Metro train, it’s a whole freakin’ station!

USB Mini B Male Plug to 5-pin Terminal Block: Make your next custom USB cable a breeze with a USB Mini B Male Plug to 5-pin Terminal Block. If you need to connect to a device with a mini USB socket or maybe make your own custom cable of sorts – this adapter will come in very handy: no soldering required! Just use a small screwdriver to open up the terminal blocks, slide in your stranded or solid-core wire, and re-tighten. See more!


3969 02 USB Mini B Female Socket to 5-pin Terminal Block


3970 02 USB Micro B Female Socket to 5-pin Terminal Block


3972 01 USB Micro B Male Plug to 5-pin Terminal Block


3992 01 Medium Push-Pull Solenoid – 5V or 6V: Solenoids are basically electromagnets: they are made of a big coil of copper wire with an armature (a slug of metal) in the middle. When the coil is energized, the slug is pulled into the center of the coil. This makes the solenoid able to pull from one end, or push from the other. See more!


4034 00 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Card – NTAG203 Chip: This is a blank 13.56MHz RFID/NFC Card with an NTAG203 chip – often used for train/bus passes, information sharing, contactless payment, but also found in other systems where a proximity card is desired. The tag contains a small RFID chip and an antenna, and is passively powered by the reader/writer when placed a couple inches away. See more!


3983 00 Mini Soft Touch Push-button Switches (6mm square) x 10 pack: Put your project in stealth mode with these super slim, super tiny, and silent Mini Soft Touch Push-button Switches.

They’re less ‘clicky’ than tactile switches, they have a rubbery elastomer that feels good to press. No dangly spider-leg-pins to solder as these buttons are SMD. We see these often in little game arcade pad layouts due to their small size and soft feel. See more!


4062 02 Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express: The Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express is the new Feather family member with Bluetooth Low Energy and native USB support featuring the nRF52840! It’s our take on an ‘all-in-one’ Arduino-compatible + Bluetooth Low Energy with built in USB plus battery charging. With native USB it’s even ready to join the CircuitPython party. We have other boards in the Feather family, check’em out here. See more!


3985 02 T-Slot Photo Interrupter with 1 Meter Cable: This T-Slot Photo Interrupter with Cable is a simple plastic sensor with two elements – an IR LED and an IR photo-transistor, situated across a U-shaped gap. You can control the IR LED and turn it on to transmit IR light across the gap, to the detector on the other side. This makes it perfect for detecting when something is in the slot. When there’s something blocking the light, the sensor turns off, when the object goes away, the sensor receives the IR light and turns on. See more!
