Hello! Very new to embedded development and SparkFun. Recently purchased some things to play with and am wanting more. That brings me to a suggestion that I have: I’d love to see a more powerful product search. Presently, I can’t narrow my search based on the type of product I’m looking for. For example, if I search for ‘temperature’, I get all results across all products, tutorials, and so on. I’d love to be able to narrow that to, for example, QWIIC sensors or RISC-V boards. Given SparkFun has so many products, being able to narrow the search like this would make it easier to find what I’m looking for. One particular item I’d be interested in is filtering results based on whether they are open hardware. I would like to be able to source components for my projects that are all open hardware, but as it is right now I have to open each product page individually to check this.
That brings me to another point: it’d be cool to have a RISC-V subforum under the Development Platforms Discussions forum. It may not be the most popular area of the forum (the AVR subforum has no posts ), but posting about things like using Rust with RISC-V feels like it’d be offtopic anywhere else. There is the Red-V RISC-V subforum, but if I want to have a discussion about another board, or RISC-V more generally (e.g. how the embedded-hal crate can better support QWIIC / I2C), there doesn’t seem to be a place to have that discussion on the forums presently.
