The SparkFun Qwiic LED Stick features ten addressable APA102 LEDs, letting you create custom visual displays with simple I2C commands. This breakout gives you complete control over each individual LED to suit your exact needs when programming dynamic lighting effects. Daisy-Chain Up to 10 LED Sticks! The SparkFun Qwiic Twist is a digital RGB rotary encoder breakout that adds a simple volume knob or menu selector to your next project without the typical hassle of rotary encoders. This board takes care of all the various interrupts, switches, PWM'ing of LEDs, and presents all those features over an easy-to-use I2C interface thanks to our Qwiic Connect System! The Qwiic Twist was designed to get rid of the large mass of wires that are needed to implement an RGB encoder on a breadboard. Don't forget to pick up a 6mm knob for the best experience! Add an LED-Illuminated Dial to Your Project Buttons are an easy, tactile way to interact with your project, but why deal with debouncing, polling, and wiring up pull-up resistors? The Qwiic Button, with a built-in red LED or green LED (or chose your own), simplifies all those worries into an easy-to-use I2C device. Utilizing our Qwiic Connect System, using the button is as simple as connecting a cable and loading pre-written code. Eliminate All the Hassle of Using Buttons!

Plug in a cable, configure an IP address, and enjoy a reliable physical connection. But Ethernet has a very real analog side. On the Teensy 4.1, that analog world includes the TI DP83825 Ethernet PHY, transformer isolation, controlled-impedance differential pairs, transient protection, and potentially tens of volts of Power over Ethernet riding on the same cable as the data. The Analog Side of Ethernet When we talk about the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP), much of the conversation naturally centers around middle- and high-school classrooms. But here's the thing: colleges and universities are adopting XRP for a variety of uses.
