SPARKFUN ELECTRONICS MicroMod ecosystem of modular carrier and processor boards is designed for rapid prototyping and dynamic project changes. The interchangeable development ecosystem leverages the M.2 connector to link microcontroller processor boards to carrier board peripherals, allowing users to easily swap out controllers based on project needs. MicroMod comprises three processor boards, covering the most popular platforms, and four carrier boards: Processor boards: ESP32, Artemis and SAMD51; Carrier boards: data logging, machine learning, input and display, and ATP (‘All the Pins’). MicroMod connects seamlessly to the Qwiic ecosystem of more than 100 sensors, shields, LCDs, relays and other accessories, allowing for nearly limitless functional possibilities with no soldering required.
