Customer #439662 on COM-10256 - MOSFET Power Control Kit

Yeah, I was going to get this board, but it’s like it’s a bit off of what I was going to do. The buildr tutorial they have listed on the MOSFET’s page is wired differently than this board does. It’s...

SVFeingold on SEN-11486 - 9 Degrees of Freedom - MPU-9150 Breakout

This is a nice sensor, but…Sparkfun: Holy hell, are you ever going to do anything about your abso-ludicrous prices? This chip costs $17 straight from the manufacturer in single-unit quantities. That...

In case anyone reads this and is still wondering. No, you can not run this at 5V. The max VDD is 3.6V NOT 6V. Many 5V devices can read 3.3V logic. If you pull the I2C lines to 3.3V the sensor will be...
