Material Monday — Electronic Hardware from Ponoko September 2nd, 2010
Following the super incredible awesome news of the Ponoko and SparkFun partnership, I wanted to share the 15 new hardware categories and a selection of the electronics now available in the materials catalog.
All the (spark) fun, after the jump.
Accelerometers
These tiny boards are used to measure acceleration. They’re a great device for monitoring motion. Applications of accelerometers include the Nike + iPod Sport Kit to measure pace and distance, the iPhone to reorient the screen based on the way you hold it, and the Wii remote to allow you a realistic interaction with the game.

Cables
Cables of all kinds — audio, ethernet, hook up, serial, USB — at superb prices.
Cellular
Everything you need to develop cellular devices including antennas, evaluation and breakout boards, kits, and modules.
Components
Components is one of my favorite new sections because there’s so much in it. Whether you need a Blackberry trackball, an SNES controller, a voltage regulator, or a hotpink button — components has you covered.
Development Tools
These are the tools you need for developing devices based on a wide range of platforms like AVR, Arduino, iPod, LilyPad, PICAXE, Roomba and many more.
GPS
Gyros
Gyro circuit boards for single, double, and triple axis gyroscopes.
LCDs
LCD displays and touch screens plus all the paraphernalia.

LEDs
Let there be light. LED lights.

Programmers
Tools for programming and debugging.

Prototyping
This category includes batteries, protoboards, various connectors, cases, screws, solar cells, and other hardware store-esque materials.

Robotics
Robotic drivers, motors, controllers, switches and kits. And wheels.

Sensors
Lots of sensing components from fingerprint and RFID scanners to gas and sound detectors.

Tools
Handy bits from pliers and tweezers to nozzles and power supplies plus all your soldering equipment.

Wireless
Wireless essentials like antennas, Bluetooth gear, transmitters, wifi, etc.
