European board maker MikroElektronika (MikroE) has teamed up with SparkFun Electronics in the US on two new boards that merge their combined rapid prototyping ecosystems

The SparkFun RP2040 mikroBUS Development Board (above) is a flexible digital interface featuring the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s RP2040 microcontroller. The board combines SparkFun’s Qwiic I2C connections with a mikroBUS socket, allowing users to access both ecosystems when designing projects with the RP2040. Additionally, the board follows the Thing Plus or Feather PTH pin layout to allow for Thing Plus/Feather shields.

This brings together SparkFun Qwiic, SparkFun MicroMod and MikroElektronika’s Click boards to quickly click or plug boards and peripherals together for solderless prototyping.

The SparkFun MicroMod mikroBUS Carrier Board uses the MicroMod, Qwiic, and mikroBUS ecosystems to allow for easier rapid prototyping utilizing peripherals from any of the three systems. The MicroMod M.2 socket and mikroBUS 8-pin header provide users the freedom to experiment with the MicroMod ecosystem and any Click board in the mikroBUS ecosystem.

Two Qwiic connectors allow users to seamlessly integrate hundreds of Qwiic sensors and accessories into their projects.

As part of the deal, SparkFun Electronics will now be a US-based distributor for MikroElektronika with products available for purchase onsparkfun.com..

“We are excited to not only begin offering MikroElektronika’s full line of Click boards in the SparkFun catalog, but to also design and release two new development boards in partnership with MikroElektronika,” said Glenn Samala, SparkFun CEO. “MikroE shares our strong dedication to innovation and making prototyping as easy as possible for users. Combining the mikroBUS peripheral with our MicroMod and Qwiic product ecosystems will provide users with billions of combinations to develop whatever they dream up.”

“Mikroe和Sparkfun分享了类似的目标：简化和加快开发过程，”Mikroe的首席执行官Nebojsa Matic说。“我们共同开发的新董事会甚至给设计师提供更多选择。新的分销协议将通过SparkFun建立的用户社区增加我们在美国市场的存在。这对于公司和客户来说是一个很大的交易。“
