Just about all electronics use a UART serial port with RX and TX pins for debugging, bootloading, programming, serial output, etc. But it's rare for a computer to have a serial port anymore. Thus, a serial cable is an essential part of any electrical engineer's toolkit. This is a USB C to TTL serial cable with an FTDI FT232R  usb/serial chip embedded in the head. It has a 6-pin socket at the end with 5V power and ground, as...

The Adafruit PCT2075 Temperature Sensor is a 'code compatible' drop in replacement for a very common I2C temperature sensor, the LM75. Compared to the LM75, however, the 11-bit ADC in the PCT2075 provides more precise measurements when compared to the LM75's 9-bit ADC. Additionally because the PCT2075 allows the address pins to work in three states (high, low, floating), you can have 27 PCT2075s on the same bus as opposed to only 8...
