Farnell element14 plans IoT feature at electronica
Farnell element14 will roll out new development kits, production components and test and measurement products at electronica in Munich (Nov 11-14). The distributor promises over 20 new products will be on show from leading brands including Freescale, TI, Atmel, ST, ADI, AMD, Microchip, Raspberry Pi, XP Power, Tektronix and Weller, as well as newcomers BitScope and Robox.
element14 aims to crowdsource the ultimate development kit
element14 has launched a global design initiative to discover the ultimate development kit for engineers and makers. The Dream Board project, live now on the element14 Community, allows users to create and brand their own virtual development kit using an interactive tool. The project will uncover the components and technologies that today’s engineers are looking for, using an innovative crowdsourcing approach.
Full feature development board based on Cyclone V SoC
Farnell element14’s latest development board is the Lark Board, a high-performance development board based on Altera’s CycloneV SoC. It is designed for thedevelopment of high-volume applications including automotive, medical equipment, video surveillance and industrial control.
Low cost Raspberry Pi board improves power management
The Raspberry Pi Model A+ has been launched by element14. It features a 40-pin extended GPIO header, a Micro SD Card port to protect the SD Card from damage,and improved power management making it possible to drive ‘power hungry’ USB devices directly from the Raspberry Pi. The board is powered by the 700MHz Broadcom BCM2835 CPU with 256MB RAM.
USB-based spectrum analyser comes with free software
Farnell element14 is already selling the newly released Tektronix RSA306 spectrum analyser based on a USB architecture.The new instrument features a broad 9 kHz to 6.2 GHz frequency range, 40 MHz real time bandwidth and weighs 1.2 pounds. When used with Tektronix SignalVu-PC software, the analyser offers advanced analysis capabilities for such applications as budget-conscious research and development, mobile radio network installation, interferen...
Add-on modules extend Raspberry Pi IoT reach
A new series of exclusive accessories for the Raspberry Pi have been unveiled by element14 that will make it quicker, simpler and easier for all levels of user to create and prototypephysical devices for the next generation of Internet of Things products. The first MICROSTACK products in the range provide GPS positioning, accelerometer and prototyping modules.
CooCox toolchain is now compatible with STM32 MCUs
Exposing all performance and feature possibilities enabled by the STM32 portfolio to developers, Embest, a Premier Farnell company, and STMicroelectronics have partnered to make the CooCox toolchain compatible with the STM32 series of MCUs.
Connectors packaged to withstand rugged environments
Farnell element14 has launched the Dynamic Series from TE Connectivity providing connector solutions ranging from signal level circuitry to power circuit connectivity in a ruggedised, industrialised package. Designed with control systems applications in mind, the connector range is also suitable for a wide range of high density, signal and power applications.
Partners cook up oscilloscope for Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi accessories parade shows no signs of abating. The latest addition sees Farnell element14 partner with BitScope Designs to manufacture and distribute BitScope Micro, a full feature dual channel digital oscilloscope for Raspberry Pi. Eben Upton, CEO at Raspberry Pi, said: “BitScope Micro is one of the most impressive add-ons for Raspberry Pi we’ve seen. The BitScope team have done a terrific job to optimise their softwa...
