SparkFun Constellation MicroMod Kit

The SparkFun Constellation MicroMod Kit is our newest limited edition offering that joins the ranks of the SkeleBoard and the SnowBoard. Instead of releasing a single board this year, we have opted to release a full kit, instead! This kit combines both MicroMod and Qwiic in a single box with a limited edition MicroMod ATP Carrier Board and MultiStar (this year's April Fool's Day joke). No, we aren't joking this time! Due to popular demand, we have reworked the MultiStar into a working (and much safer) celestial version of the MultiPort. Also included in this kit is a MicroMod Screw Driver and two Qwiic Cables to get you hooked up! The ATP Carrier Board and MultiStar included in this kit feature a matte black PCB with a star scape design in white silk.

How to redeem your choice of MicroMod Processor Board:

1. Add the SparkFun Constellation MicroMod Kit to your cart!
2. Add one of three of the following MicroMod Processors to your cart:
• For an ESP32 MicroMod Processor use code "ESP32addon" during checkout to receive the Processor for free!
• For an RP2040 MicroMod Processor use code "RP2040addon" during checkout to receive the Processor for free!
• For an SAMD51 MicroMod Processor use code "SAMD51addon" during checkout to receive the Processor for free!

Additional rules: Only one free Processor per order. There is an order limit of five max per customer. No rainchecks or backorders will be allowed. We will not be allowing the combining of orders during this sale. Distributor and Reseller accounts will not be eligible.

Hurry! This is a limited edition and promotion - once they're gone, they're most likely gone for good!

Access all the pins (i.e. ATP) of the MicroMod Processor Boards with the SparkFun MicroMod ATP Carrier Board! This board breaks out the MicroMod Processor Board's pins on the M.2 connector to 0.1" spaced female headers and PTH pads on the edge of the board. This Carrier Board is great if you're interested in testing out different MicroMod Processor Boards for your application.

A modern USB-C connector makes programming easy. In addition to the pins broken out, two separate Qwiic-enabled I2C ports allow you to easily daisy chain Qwiic-enabled devices. We've exposed the SWD pins for more advanced users who prefer to use the power and speed of professional tools. A USB-A connector is provided for Processor Boards that have USB Host support. A backup battery is provided for processor boards with RTC. If you need a "lot" of GPIO with a simple-to-program, ready for market module, the ATP is the fix you need. We've even added a convenient jumper to measure the current consumption for low power testing.

Have you ever had problems trying to daisy chain Qwiic-enabled boards with only ONE Qwiic connector? Or maybe you need a Qwiic-enabled device that is not in the middle of a daisy chain? The SparkFun Qwiic MultiStar adds five additional ports to boards that have only one Qwiic port on the I2C bus. Once added, you can use it as a hub to add as many I2C devices to the bus as you need!

MicroMod is a modular interface ecosystem that connects a microcontroller “processor board” to various “carrier board” peripherals. Utilizing the M.2 standard, the MicroMod standard is designed to easily swap out processors on the fly. Pair a specialized carrier board for the project you need with your choice of compatible processor!

The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I²C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.
