Sparkfun offers good stuff Sparkfun offers unusual and useful things, sometimes on small boards that makes them accessible to people who do not yet have PCB design skills. And they make a lot of good information available on their website. A good outfit and the kind I enjoy doing business with.

Fills the void in my heart I used SparkFun for my senior design and it's my first stop when looking for options beyond basic parts. It fills the void RadioShack left in my heart.

Have been ordering parts from SparkFun… Have been ordering parts from SparkFun for many years and have never had a problem. Really appreciate that they're out there. I think they're doing a great service to us who enjoy electronics from hobbyist to professionals.

Home Hobbyist Kudos to SparkFun Sparkfun has a very complete selection of products from processors, sensors, relays, control boards, etc for the home hobbyist or the professional designer. Products have always met or exceeded my expectations. Their Web site provides fantastic documentation for setting up and using must of their devices. And the YouTube videos are excellent resource and usually entertaining as well. If I were 20+ years old I would beg to work for this company.

Easy to find layout and schematics Easy to find layout and schematic, in better than pdf or Gerber (i.e editable eagle files). This saves the additional steps is having to search for these open source files on git (like SparkFuns' competitor mandates)
