Moving to enable makers to make even more than before, STMicroelectronics and Arduino have announced an agreement that brings the industry-leading STM32 family of MCU, along with ST’s full portfolio of sensing, power and connectivity technology, even closer to the Arduino maker community.

The MAXREFDES99# 16x16 display reference design from Maxim Integrated Products provides hobbyists and makers with greater flexibility and more options when developing LED signs. LEDs continue to dramatically transform signage and lighting. However, often LED displays today are 8x8 and cannot communicate many international alpha-numeric characters.

Nordic Semiconductor has announced that Arduino - the world's most successful open-source ecosystem for education, maker and IoT markets - has specified the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52832 BLE SoC at the heart of its latest product: a low cost IoT-targeted programmable SBC (or base board) called the Arduino Primo.

IQRF Wireless Challenge II, the contest for the best wireless applications, revealed its winners. There were 47 contestants from 14 countries registered in the contest. The final round was an interactive exhibition of the top ten projects. It took place at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University in Prague on May 27, 2016. The best applications were designed by participants from the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
