Building Bridges: Instrument combines scope and power measurements
Yokogawa has developed an instrument which it says is “designed to build the bridge between power measurement and oscilloscope functions.” The new PX8000 Precision Power Scope can capture voltage and current waveforms precisely – Yokogawa’s latest tagline is “The Precision Makers” – opening up applications and solutions for a wide range of emerging power measurement problems.
WaRP unleashes design innovation
Enabling the quick navigation of the evolving consumer wearables market, Freescale Semiconductor have released a Wearables Reference Platform providing OEMs the building blocks they need to rapidly develop a wide range of wearable product designs from a common platform.
Display features high-contrast supertwist technology
Available immediately as a complete package, the EA DOGM240-6 graphics display from Electronic Assembly features high-contrast supertwist technology (STN and FSTN). Featuring a UC1611s controller and a built-in graphics RAM, a backlight, touch panel and USB test board can also be supplied as optional accessories.
Geomagnetic sensor offers accurate absolute orientation
Suitable for applications requiring absolute heading or orientation data, including augmented reality and location tracking, Willow Technologies have introduced the RM3100 industrial grade geomagnetic sensor suite. Claimed to have the highest resolution and lowest-noise of any geomagnetic sensor in the market, it provides accurate measurement of signals of less than 10 nT (this is less than 0.1% of the Earth’s magnetic field).
Ben Heck's holiday workshop
Ben gets into the holiday spirit and plays the part of an elf in Santa's workshop. He builds the ultimate toy that he thinks would be a great gift to find under the tree - a robotic tank! He uses a couple of kits plus some of his own designs to bring the toy to life.
Custom Hall effect sensors at off-the-shelf prices
Allowing magnetic switching thresholds to be configured (including hysteresis), the MLX92231 and MLX92211 digital Hall effect sensors from Melexis are factory pre-programmed to precise Hall effect switch or latch specifications. This enables tailored results that match the customer’s specific application requirements without the cost usually associated with custom solutions.
NFC robot eases RF performance testing
COMPRION says it can ease the verification process of near field communications (NFC) its new NFC Robot. Spurring this development is the universal NFC ecosystem which harmonises related specifications, ensuring interoperability. An NFC Forum compliant device has to support all different NFC technologies with a large number of possible parameter sets.
BLDC motor gate driver drives six N-channel MOSFETs
Capable of driving six N-channel MOSFETs, the MCP8024 is a new three-phase BLDC motor gate driver with power module which has been introduced by Microchip Technology. Featuring functions powering dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers functionality and PIC microcontrollers, as well as improved performance and high robustness, the MCP8024 offers increased efficiency, lower system cost and accelerated time-to-market.
chipKIT ecosystem expanded with Digilent development tools
The Arduino compatible chipKIT ecosystem from Microchip has been expanded to include two new development tools from Digilent, and an embedded cloud software framework. Minimising the the need for users to purchase additional hardware or shields, Digilent’s chipKIT WF32 board integrates with Microchip’s 32-bit PIC32MX695F512L MCU with Full Speed USB 2.0 Host/Device/OTG, its agency-certified MRF24WG0MA Wi-Fi module and an energy-saving ...
