Whether you're building collision-avoidance systems for robotics or presence-detection networks, this Qwiic-enabled breakout simplifies the math by processing histogram data on the chip and sending the results over I2C to your microcontroller. Have You Checked Out Our Direct Time-of-Flight Sensors? Like the TMF8820 versions above, the SparkFun Qwiic TMF8821 dToF Imager (also available in a Qwiic Mini Breakout footprint) offers the same highly detailed 3D distance tracking up to 5000mm, but adds a configurable multi-zone direct time-of-flight sensor to map obstacles and detect presence, even in bright sunlight. dToF with Selectable Multizone Configurations The LIDAR-Lite v4 Qwiic combines Garmin’s high-performance optical ranging technology with the ease of the SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem. This board uses the powerful v4 LED sensor, which supports 10-meter ranging and wireless ANT communication, and includes a breakout board that handles all power and logic translation. It is the ultimate "plug-and-play" distance solution for anyone who wants to incorporate a LIDAR-Lite sensor into their project! Plug-and-Play LIDAR Deal valid until October 22nd, 2026 @ 11:59 p.m. MDT For the eventuality of the end of the world (and your entertainment in the meantime), we present The Teensy Synth for the End of the World. This musical instrument is integrated into a hard case and comes with built-in speakers, arcade buttons for control, a versatile USB power supply, and the ability to connect to larger systems. Portable DIY Teensy Synth SparkFun is excited to be heading to FUSE San Francisco, presented by Point One Navigation, on November 19, 2026. FUSE is a location technology conference focused specifically on Physical AI. The one-day event brings together engineers and technology leaders working on the challenges of high-precision positioning with robots, autonomous vehicles, drones, or other intelligent machines.
