BBC micro:bit hits UK in July
The BBC micro:bit, a pocket-sized programmable device that can be coded and controlled to bring ideas, games, and projects to life, is being made available to buy in the UK by element14, manufacturing partner for the BBC micro:bit project. The widespread availability follows the gifting of the BBC micro:bit to up to one million school children in Year 7 (or equivalent) across the UK, to inspire them toget creative with coding, programming and dig...
Wireless IoT connectivity: making sense of the protocols
Organisations designing devices and systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) today have many choices over the wireless protocols they will use to facilitate communication with the cloud. Simon Duggleby, Product Marketing Manager, Electronics Division, RS Components explains.
Development platform targets IoT applications
A new NXPlow-cost development platform has been added to the Farnell element14 portfolio of products for the Internet of Things (IoT). The FRDM-KW40Z is enabled by the KinetisW series KW40Z/30Z/20Z (KW40Z) family and is ideal for applications in the IoT space, including home automation, building automation and healthcare.
Sensor to cloud platform accelerates IoT design
A collaboration between Farnell element14 and Sierra Wireless has produced the mangOH Green Open Hardware IoT Platform and mangOH kit. The platform allows developers to test and prototype ideas quickly and take IoT solutions to market within weeks. The industry’s first complete sensor-to-cloud platform, it provides an all-in-one hardware, software and cloud-based solution for industrial IoT applications.
A great gift idea for tech-savvy Dads on Father’s Day
Technology Will Save Us are a company helping children and adults alike, to learn, enjoy and create with technology and coding (which they believe everyone can do!) by producing DIY gadget kits, resources and tools as well as hosting workshops for all ages. Tech Will Save Us products are vehicles for education that encourage everyone to make, play, code and invent with technology.
Positioning technology is embedded in IoT board
EVA-7M, a u-blox GPS/GNSS receiver module, has been embedded in the tiny IoT development board LoRaONE by SODAQ, now running a campaign on Kickstarter. The product is a 32-bit Arduino compatible board equipped with Low-Power WAN connectivity that enables development of any kind of IoT solution, anywhere. The matchbox-sized product (40x25 mm) is packed with sensors. The u-blox EVA-7M that is on the board enables a quick positioning fix.
ROHM semiconductor to exhibit at PCIM 2016
At the occasion of PCIM in Nuremberg from May 10-12th, 2016, ROHM Semiconductor showcase its latest power product novelties for high-speed switching and high power performance, at the same time meeting the need for greater energy savings and higher efficiency (Hall 9 - Booth 316).
Evaluation kits cover 32-bit MCU and DAVE
The XMC4700 Relax, Relax Kit for 5V Shields, and Relax Lite evaluation kits from Infineon Technologies are now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. These kits are designed to evaluate the capabilities of the XMC4700 microcontroller and Infineon’s free-of-charge, Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE), DAVE.
The development of the PULPino open-source microprocessor
In future, it will be easier and cheaper for developers at universities and SMEs to build wearable microelectronic devices and chips for the IoT, thanks to the PULPino open-source processor, which has been developed at ETH Zurich and the University of Bologna. Software source codes and hardware designs tend to be closely guarded trade secrets. Not so with open-source products.
Increased customisation options enhance MCU range
A new and updated range of C-Control microcontrollers designed in-house by the Conrad Technology Centrum (CTC) is now in stock at Conrad Business Supplies. The new solutions offer improved user interfaces and greater customisation options. The flagship product for the C-Control PRO family, is the C-Control AVR32-Bit MCU.
