Semi-related: Since few months I am digging into tinkering and electronics. It’s really great to learn about modern era solutions which enable cool projects with low entry barrier.
However, I happen to learn about new solutions (new sensors, actors, boards, ICs) more randomly than systematically. I tried to google for databases, blogs or news outlets, but couldn’t find anything suited for my consumerish needs. Going through hundreds of pages for similar products on online shops also didn’t yield any good output. Do you guys know any such source? How do you keep yourself updated on interesting new products on the market?
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoUsually if you have accounts at the major distributors(Arrow, Digi-Key, Newark, etc.), you'll get occasional updates passed on from some of the manufacturers whose parts they sell. But those are typically not the hobbyist/consumer items you may be looking for. Perhaps sign up for a SparkFun account? I get a lot of OSHW and new module information from them.
- waschl 5y agoThanks,will try!
- iudqnolq 5y ago(total noob) I like looking at the components adadruit builds in-house. For most of them they have open-sourced the schematics, and you can then look up the building blocks on sites like DigiKey.
