SparkFun RockBLOCK Mk2 - Iridium SatComm Module GeneralThe RockBLOCK Mk2 allows you to send and receive short messages from anywhere on Earth with a clear view of the sky and it works far beyond the reach of WiFi and GSM networks. Maybe you want to transmit weather information from mid ocean? Or use it to control your robot in the middle of the desert?

so keep that in mind when planning a power supply

This is a 3ft

Before you can get your set-top box on the internet

These are two pin jumpers (also called shunts) that will create an electrical connection between two pin headers

With more complex antennas and modulation schemes

We broke out all 5 pins with a vertical microUSB connector for your prototyping needs

you can solder some header pins into those

and when plugged in the connection is super-solid

If you’re still trying to wrap your head around the world of USB cables

Inside each kit you will find multiple types of semiconductors including PNP and NPN bipolar transistors

This 1A 40V Schottky diode is ideal for use with motor drivers such as the L298N
