Digi vs Electronics Tools & Calculator

Digi-Key is proud to provide this companion app to the Make Magazine Handy Dandy Boards Guide. Use it to interact with boards in augmented reality AR and see them like you have never seen them before. It's often said, when you're looking to make a project, be sure to use the right tool for the job - this applies as much to woodworking as it does to a high-powered electronics endeavor. With that in mind, this guide is designed to help you find the perfect brain for your creation. We've gathered and listed the specs of nearly all the latest and greatest boards available now, including microcontrollers, single board computers, and FPGAs. From robotics to AI to IoT, you'll find what you need here. Dig in!

Calculate, simulate, and understand electronic circuits with more than 60 calculators, interactive tools, and illustrated engineering references. Electronics Tools & Calculator is an all-in-one toolkit for students, engineers, technicians, makers, and electronics enthusiasts. Use it to study circuit theory, select components, check designs, or troubleshoot projects with practical calculators and clear circuit visuals.
