Make inflatables or air-powered projects with this simple air pump. It's great for beginner projects and super easy to use! The pump is basically a DC motor that is powered with ~4.5V and draws about ~600 mA. 5V should be just fine, so you can power it from the same power supply you use for other DC motors or servos. When powered, the pump sucks air in from the side of the plastic casing and pushes it out the tubing port. Reversing the motor...

If you're like me, you've always wanted a smaller and faster way to sense an object between 2 and 10 centimeters away.

The Pololu Carrier with Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F Digital Distance Sensor fits those both needs and more. it's one of Sharp's fastest...

Sometimes we wonder if robotics engineers ever watch movies. If they did, they'd know that making robots into slaves always ends up in a robot rebellion. Why even go down that path? Here at Adafruit, we believe in making robots our  friends! So if you find yourself wanting a companion, consider the robot. They're fun to program, and you can get creative with decorations. With that in mind, we designed  Crickit  -...
