Much has been written about the IoT and how it has the potential to open up opportunities and maximise the efficiency of current processes. However, the time for talking about potential is now over - it’s time to begin thinking about how to actually implement an IoT solution and reap the benefits. Mark Patrick of Mouser Electronics explains.

In order to address the vibrant and constantly expanding maker market, SST Sensing Ltd. has partnered up with Sparkfun. Together they have developed and simple to implement solution for single point liquid detection using infrared technology. This highly reliable and accurate solution comprises an Optomax Digital liquid level switch which is connected to an Arduino board via the TTL output and powered by its 5V source.

The MAXREFDES130# from Maxim Integrated is a complete reference for prototyping building automation designs. It is now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. The Arduino Uno R3-form-factor shield is compatible with both Arduino and ARM mbed platforms, giving designers a choice of development ecosystems.

Acal BFi announces the addition of the award winning Tronics GYPRO3300 MEMS angular rate sensor with supporting evaluation board to its comprehensive portfolio. Tronics has pushed technological boundaries of design with the GYPRO3300; the sensor utilises Tronics’ proprietary vacuum wafer-level packaging technology to deliver best-in-class performance and accuracy in an ultra-compact design, while offering a plug-and-play and open source tes...

Alpha Micro has begun distributing a secure, certified Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) v4.2 and Near Field Communication (NFC) module, the Laird BL652. The module is compact, energy-efficient and powerful. This tiny footprint stand-alone module offers multiple interfaces and an easy-to-use application development environment for easy integration of secure connectivity into EioT devices without impacting power budgets or space limitations.

MalDuino is an arduino-powered USB device which has keyboard injection capabilities. Once plugged in, MalDuino acts as a keyboard.

A sensor evaluation kit (expansion board) has been announced by ROHM which is equipped with seven sensors (i.e. accelerometer, barometric pressure, magnetic field), designed for use with existing open-source prototyping platforms such as Arduino and mbed.

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 ...

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.

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...
