The second bundle pairs the DataLogger IoT with a GPS breakout primarily based on the u-blox SAM-M10Q module with on-board antenna, providing correct location sensing from as much as 4 World Navigation Satellite tv for pc System (GNSS) constellations concurrently. The third is one other two-board pairing, with the DataLogger IoT and a STMicro VL53L1X laser distance sensor breakout providing a 1mm precision and ±5mm accuracy from 4cm to 4m (round 0.13 to 13 ft). Lastly, the final equipment within the launch bundles the DataLogger IoT with a the SparkFun Qwiic Dynamic NFC/RFID tag.
The bundles at the moment are reside on the SparkFun retailer at $39.95 for the RFID Package, $59.95 for the Distance Sensing Package, $79.95 for the GPS Package, and $89.95 for the Environmental Package, however SparkFun says they’re solely round for the vacations. The corporate can also be providing a time-limited low cost from in the present day till 11:59PM MST on Monday, November twenty seventh with 15 p.c low cost obtainable on own-brand merchandise with the code BFCM2023.
