SparkFun is committed to open source - not just in terms of hardware, but content and software as well.
SparkFun gets a super fan. How do we deal with the copying of our images and designs without permission? We don't! Instead, we innovate that much faster.
A whole new version of sparkfun.com is released! Wish lists! Other stuff! New server hardware! Plus a visualization of the development of the entire code base up to this point.
Nathan Seidle tells the story of SparkFun, how we got started and why we do what we do.
ON Semiconductor lets us know that the fake ATmega328s are actually NCP5318 buck regulators for Intel processors.
