Roboteq has today announced the most versatile and capable I/O expansion card ever made for the ultra-popular Raspberry PI Single Board Computer. Roboteq’s RIO - for Raspberry I/O - stacks on top of the Raspberry to create an amazingly powerful embedded control and navigation computer, in a small footprint of just 65 x 85 x 20mm.

Today, Texas Instruments announced that Sitara processors, along with TI connectivity and analog solutions, have been selected to power the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics platform that is now available.

Linear Technology has today introduced a new dual 13A or single 26A µModule step-down DC-DC regulator with a serial digital interface, the LTM4676. The interface enables system designers and remote operators to command and supervise a system’s power condition and consumption. The LTM4676 simplifies system characterisation, optimisation and data mining during prototyping, deployment and field operation.

The D2692 Dual Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter is a communication device that provides two full-duplex asynchronous receiver/transmitter channels in just one single package. DCD’s IP Core interfaces directly with microprocessors and may be used in a polled or interrupt driven system, furthermore provides modem and DMA interface. The operating mode and data format of each channel can be programmed independently. - Additionally, e...

Texas Instruments today expanded its motor driver portfolio toinclude the company’s first integrated stepper motor pre-driver. The DRV8711 is highly configurable with a best-in-class on-chip micro-stepping indexer, as well as stall detection, and advanced current regulation that easily and efficiently tunes any motor.

In a, thankfully, air-conditioned ballroom in a hotel in Austin, Texas, National Instruments hosted its Graphic Design Achievement Awards 2013. Winning companies used LabView to monitor and manage systems from CERN’s particle accelerator for ion beam cancer therapy to valve leakage detection in industrial pumps.

Linear Technology introduces the LTM8050, 2A µModule regulator that is protected against input surges up to 60V and can be configured as a step-down or an inverting (i.e., negative output) converter. With 60V input voltage protection, the LTM8050 can be used safely in applications where the main power bus may be susceptible to large voltage spikes or deviations. Examples of such applications are automotive, avionics, factory automation, hea...

Bourns reveals that it has added three new application notes to its extensive technical library. Bourns continually develops new technical resources to help engineers solve design issues and select proven application solutions. The new documents offer development options to maximize LED streetlight reliability, provide an optimal circuit protection design for PoE-based systems and demonstrate the advantages of using non-contacting rotary sensors ...

There's a lot more behind Hollywood magic than smoke and mirrors – popular movie and TV shows about zombies, superheroes, spaceships and true crime only come to life because of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). That's why TI is launching "STEM Behind Hollywood," an exciting new education program developed with assistance from The Science & Entertainment Exchange, a program of the National Academy of Sciences, as well as...

TE Connectivity have today introduced a new small, compact, latching, wire-to-board I/O interface that allows for safe high-speed connections at all angles. Enabling reliable connections, the Industrial Mini I/O connectivity system has been designed with two points of contact. Built for industrial and high vibration environments, the new connectivity system facilitates increased reliability compared to other I/O alternatives.
