How to 3D print your own sonic tractor beam
Last year Asier Marzo, then a doctoral student at the Public University of Navarre, helped develop the first single-sided acoustic tractor beam - that is, the first realisation of trapping and pulling an object using sound waves from only one direction. Now a research assistant at the University of Bristol, Marzo has lead a team that adapted the technology to be, for all intents and purposes,3Dprintable by anyone (with some assembly required, of ...
Development kit supports Bluetooth5 design options
The nRF52840 Preview Development Kit (nRF52840-PDK) from Nordic Semiconductor is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics . The nRF52840-PDK is a versatile single board development kit for evaluating the nRF52840 system-on-chip (SoC), a proprietary wireless connectivity solution that supports several protocols, including the recently released Bluetooth5 specification.
Reference design speeds development of medical wearables
Developers of heart rate and blood oxygen (SpO2) monitors can now accelerate their efforts using the ultra-small MAXREFDES117# reference design from Maxim Integrated Products.This optical heart-rate module reference design incorporates red and infrared LEDs, a sensor, power subsystem, and logic level translation. Measuring 13mm x 13mm, this tiny, low-power board can be placed on a finger or earlobe to accurately detect heart rate and SpO2 via per...

EVK acts as a shield for easier stepper motor driver designs
At SPS in Nuremberg from November 22nd-24th2016, ROHM Semiconductor presents its Arduino-based Evaluation Kit (EVK) to support the evaluation of its motor driver devices as well as to enable, facilitate and accelerate customers’ developments (Hall 1 - Booth 320).
Arduino compatible shield accelerates MOSFET designs
The Protected Switch Shield with PROFET 24V for Arduino from Infineon Technologies is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. This is a power switch evaluation board compatible with Arduino microcontroller boards and with Infineon’s XMC microcontroller kits using the Arduino form factor.
Arduino-Compatible shield integrates five environmental sensors
The MEAS weather shield for Arduino/Genuino from TE Connectivity (TE) is available from Mouser Electronics. The MEAS weather shield integrates five TE environmental sensors onto an Arduino/Genuino 101- and Uno R3-compatible board. The shield provides the necessary hardware to interface the TE HTU21D digital relative humidity sensor, MS5637 digital barometric pressure sensor, TSYS01 temperature system sensor, MS8607 digital relative humidity and d...
Display shield delivers abundance of added value
Having already seen strong market uptake of the initial CleO smart display solution for rapid development of human ma-chine interfaces (HMIs), Bridgetek and FTDI are now expanding this product family to include a higher end version. Based on the widely-praised Embedded Video Engine (EVE) technology, the new CleO50 shield has a larger 5.0” diagonal 800 x 480 pixel resolution TFT with built-in resistive touch screen, plus enhanced audio capab...
