Modbus decoder troubleshoots PLC applications
The analysis capabilities of Pico Technology’s PicoScope have been enhanced with the addition of Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU decoders. Capable of analysing Modbus (RS-232/RS-485) signals, it becomes a tool for troubleshooting industrial PLC applications – from installation and commissioning to maintenance and repair operations.
Robotic system is capable of monitoring specific neurons
Recording electrical signals from inside a neuron in the living brain can reveal a great deal of information about that neuron’s function and how it coordinates with other cells in the brain. However, performing this kind of recording is extremely difficult.To make this technique more widely available, MIT engineers have now devised a way to automate the process, using a computer algorithm that analyses microscope images and guides a roboti...
Plug, play, and display: the LP LightCrafter
TI has introduced the most affordable way to get started with DLP Pico display technology. Tiny chipset and $99 EVM make it easier to design display applications.
Making it easier to design compact display applications
Texas Instruments has opened the door for developers to implement high performing DLP display technology with virtually any low cost processor.The new 0.2" DLP2000 chipset and $99 DLPLightCrafter Display 2000 Evaluation Module (EVM) now make it more affordable to leverage DLP technology and design on-demand, free-form display applications such as mobile smart TVs; pico projectors; digital signage; projection displays for smart homes, smartphones ...
Cable assemblies target range of applications
A number of pre-prepared cable assemblies that provide compatible solutions for key product ranges from Molex are now available at distributor RS Components. Targeting a wide range of applications in industries including automotive, consumer, defence, industrial and medical, as well as telecommunications and networking, the new Molex range of pre-terminated cables makes it even easier for engineers to adopt interconnection components in new and e...
Low-cost VNA boasts dynamic range of 118dB at 10Hz
Pico Technology’s PicoVNA 106 Low-Cost Vector Network Analyser - an economical USB-controlled, professional-grade 300kHz to 6GHz Vector Network Analyser (VNA) with excellent performance, portability, and affordability is available at Saelig. Despite its small size and low cost, its full-function, minimal-error, 'Quad RX' four-receiver architecture supports both 8- and 12-term calibration without the uncorrectable switching errors, delays, a...
Buckyball sandwich anyone?
2D materials have opened up new horizons in the field of materials science over the last ten years. Now EU-funding has fed into the creation of a combination of structures to form suspended buckyball sandwiches, offering interesting properties for further research.Scientists have created a new structure by encapsulating a single layer of fullerene molecules between two graphene sheets.
Device may contribute to creating a neuromorphic computer
Of all things that contemporary science is capable of observing in the universe, nothing outperforms the human brain or can even be compared to it in terms of functionality, plasticity and efficiency. The brain is a massively parallel processor of information, consuming an amount of energy on the order of a femtojoules (10-15 J) per synaptic event. As a comparison, an ordinary 100 W bulb consumes one hundred quadrillion times more energy per seco...
MCUs deliver increased throughput with lower power
The ATtiny1617 microcontroller series from Microchip Technology is in stock at Mouser Electronics . Part of Microchip’s low-power 8-bit AVR microcontroller portfolio, the devices offer pin and code compatibility with the ATtiny817 series devices while extending the flash memory. The compact 8-bit devices run at up to 20MHz, and provide a customised configuration and simplified process for capacitive touch systems and Core Independent Periph...
