RS Components now selling the SparqEE CELLv1.0 and its Raspberry Pi and Arduino shields

Today RS Components started selling the SparqEE CELLv1.0 cellular board, developmental board and shields for the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Visit the RS Components store to buy your CELLv1.0 gear.

In 2013, SparqEE launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for the CELLv1.0. RS Components purchased exclusive rights to the CELLv1.0 after the Kickstarter was successfully funded. Several components were sold under the Kickstarter and now are available through the RS Components store.

The items available for purchase are as follows:

• SparqEE CELLv1.0 – The CELLv1.0 is a tiny Cellular development board that provides Wireless Worldwide. The CELLv1.0 uses a 2G+3G chipset, which means it will use 3G primarily worldwide and only fall back to 2G if 3G is unavailable.
• SparqEE Raspberry Pi Shield – The ShieldRv1.0 is a shield or adapter that connects the CELLv1.0 to a Raspberry Pi without any additional wiring. In addition, breakouts are provided for the four additional SparqEE boards (ACCELv1.0, GPSv1.0, POWERv1.0, RELAYv1.0) if the user prefers to directly connect any of those boards to the shield.
• SparqEE Arduino Shield – The ShieldAv1.0 is a shield or adapter that connects the CELLv1.0 to an Arduino processor board without any additional wiring. In addition, breakouts are provided for the four additional SparqEE boards (ACCELv1.0, GPSv1.0, POWERv1.0, RELAYv1.0) if the user prefers to directly connect any of those boards to the shield.
• SparqEE GPS Receiver Board – The GPSv1.0 provides an Antenova M10478 GPS module based on the SiRFstarIV 9333 GPS chipset.
• SparqEE Power Board – The POWERv1.0 board converts an unregulated power supply to the +5V and +3.3V supply rails required by most embedded development systems.
• SparqEE Relay Board – The RELAYv1.0 provides a wide input range relay for driving high-current and high-voltage peripherals.
• SparqEE Accelerometer Board – The ACCELv1.0 provides a wide input range 3-axis accelerometer based on the Analog Devices ADXL345.

Thank you RS Components for making the CELLv1.0 available in your store!
