Air quality

Choose between MQ gas sensors, VOC/eCO2 indoor-air sensors, true CO2 modules and particulate sensors without treating every air-quality breakout as the same detector.

Level shifters

Pick level shifters by bus behavior: I2C/open-drain, auto-direction push-pull, direction-controlled buffers, or 3 V to 5 V logic. They are not universal adapters.

Components · Logic Level Converters · 21 parts

Bluetooth

Choose between BLE modules, XIAO wireless dev boards, UART/SPI bridge boards and debugging tools without assuming the Bluetooth label makes them interchangeable.

Motors and servos

Choose by actuator type first: brushed DC motor, stepper motor, RC servo, solenoid or Raspberry Pi HAT. Similar-looking motor boards are rarely drop-in substitutes.
