7-inch touchscreen display added to Raspberry Pi ingredients
A 7-inch Touchscreen Display for the Raspberry Pi, expanding the ecosystem of accessories, to enable users to create all-in-one integrated projects such as turning their Pi into a tablet, infotainment system or embedded project is available from element14. Compatible with Raspberry Pi 2, and Raspberry Pi 1 models B+ and A+*, the screen can be used to make ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) devices with a visual display.
Making wearable tech a reality
Despite the hype around wearable tech at the start of 2015, six months in to the year, mainstream adoption of wearable tech remains slow. Smartwatches, whilst widely available on the market, continue to be viewed as a smartphone peripheral, rather than a product in their own right. Meanwhile, Google’s high-profile Glass project has actually taken a step back, ending all sales of devices to the public.
Spring clamp connectors accelerate wiring installation
The SP06 range of pluggable spring clamp connectors from METZ CONNECT that allow users to make rapid and reliable wiring installations is on sale at Farnell element14.The METZ CONNECT “Push In” technology allows solid core cables and stranded cables with ferrules to be inserted directly into the connector without the need for any tools.
Solder paste stability provides printing benefits
Farnell element14 has introduced LOCTITE GC 10, the first-ever temperature stable solder paste, from Henkel. The paste is stable at 26.5°C for one year and at temperatures of up to 40°C for one month, providing benefits from shipping and receiving as well as printing and reflow.
Development board aids microcontroller beginners
The Curiosity development board from Microchip has been launched by Farnell element14. On board programming and debug via MPLAB X IDE andcode generation viaMicrochip’s MCC will appeal to those new to microcontrollers such as hobbyists, makers and students. The board’s use of pdip components and access to most pins simplifies actual development for all users.
Ultimate dev kit winner unveiled
Take a big bow, Manjuprasad Basangi! He has been voted the winner of element14’s global DreamBoard initiative to find the ultimate development kit. His creation, the PC64, designed to be a learning tool for students, was voted the winner by element14 Community members from a shortlist of 16 finalists. The design captured 67 per cent of the vote in the head-to-head final and beat more than 3,000+ brand new dev kit creations to be named the u...
Project starter kit uses MATLAB, Raspberry Pi combination
The MATLABand SimulinkStudent Suite – Raspberry Pi Bundle which includes the Raspberry Pi Starter Kit and the MATLAB and Simulink Student Suite from MathWorks is on sale at Farnell element14. It allows a student or self learner to conveniently start their project with model-based block diagrams on the Raspberry Pi 2 using the same tools commercial engineers and scientists use every day.
Connector system halves lighting tooling costs
The Molex Ditto range of wire-to-wire interconnects and pre-assembled harnesses are in stock at Farnell element14. The harnesses halve the tooling and operational costs of plug-and-receptacle power connector systems. This enables increased cost savings and operational efficiency of low-amperage consumer and lighting applications.
Thermal imagers focus on predictive maintenance
The U5850 Series TrueIR thermal imagers from Keysight Technologies provide clear and sharp thermal images with 4x fine resolution capability, enabling 320x240 pixels at the cost of a 160x120 pixels device. The imagers are on sale at distributor element14. Two new models in the range, the U5856A and U5857A, can perform temperature measurements up to 650°C and 1200°C respectively.
Inlet filters meet many power entry needs
Farnell element14 has introduced TE Connectivity’s multi-functional inlet filters that can provide a single mechanical solution for a variety of power entry needs. Each Corcom series supports several different configurations to suit market requirements with a choice of fusing, voltage selection, switching and filtering options.
