Incorporating capacitive force sensors in next gen product designs
Design engineers interested in integrating miniature force sensors into product designs now have an option to evaluate and integrate a new breed of capacitive technology-based sensor that can accurately and with high repeatability, measure forces as low as 1g.
Kickstarter project keeps things cool
FTDI Chip has introduced its latest product, NerO, being introduced on KickStarter. The objective of NerO is to deal with the fundamental drawbacks of the widely used Arduino UNO R3 and, by utilising a crowdfunding platform, get the engineering community involved right from the very beginning.
Leti to demonstrate consumer technology breakthroughs at CES 2016
CEA-Leti will demonstrate at CES 2016 three disruptive innovations, ranging from ultra-high-brightness, augmented-reality glasses to extremely high-speed wireless data transmission between mobile devices and the world’s first TV white-space modem limiting interference in adjacent spectrum bands.
Single-element miniature force sensor delivers superior sensitivity
Pressure Profile Systems unveiled the SingleTact, a high performance miniature capacitive force sensor that delivers superior sensitivity and repeatability over resistive force sensors. Existing state-of-the-art miniature force sensors have limited performance in sensitivity and repeatability.

IoT development kit based on Arduino form factor
The SmartEverything Internet of Things (IoT) development kit from Arrow Electronics is in stock at RS Components. The new SmartEverything ‘Fox’ board is an Arduino-form-factor IoT system-on-module that comes with a multitude of factory-bundled I/O ports and sensors and with an energy-efficient wireless connectivity technology.
Single board computers come in three models
The Neo single-board computers from UDOO are open-source, low-cost computers available in three models: Basic, Extended, and Full. Each Neo board is equipped with a Freescale i.MX 6 SoloX applications processor with a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 core for Android and Linux, and an embedded ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller, which makes the boards compatible with the Arduino environment.
Sensor evaluation kit accelerates prototyping
The Grid-EYE Infrared (IR) Array Sensor Evaluation Kit, powered by Panasonic’s high-precision IR sensor platform for fast prototyping is in stock at element14. The evaluation kit combines Panasonic’s industry leading Grid-EYE sensor, its “nanopower” PAN1740 Bluetooth Smart Module and a microcontroller on one PCB, enabling engineers to design and develop wireless sensor prototypes quickly.
Prototyping platform upgraded with 50 new modules
The latest range of E-Blocks electronic modules and supporting Flowcode 6 development environment from Matrix Technology Solutions is available from RS Components. RS is stocking all 50 E-Blocks modules in the range, which users can snap together to build custom electronic systems quickly and easily.
Achieving secure mobile transactions for wearables
Wearables like smart watches could challenge smartphones as the main hub for digital lifestyles now that a new product-development ecosystem has been released from STMicroelectronics. More than half a billion wearable devices will be connected to the Internet by 2019: a potentially huge user base that could enjoy making convenient mobile payments with a secure device that is more natural to use than a card or smartphone.
