Audio card tunes in to Raspberry Pi
The Cirrus Logic Audio Card which is available exclusively from element14 opens up new levels of functionality and performance to avid audiophiles who wish to use the Raspberry Pi B+ for audio applications. The Audio Card offers Raspberry Pi A+ and B+ users the ability to input and output high definition audio from the Raspberry Pi. The high-performance audio card allows audio input using either line level analogue/stereo digital (SPDIF) or the o...
Dynamic voltage scaling cuts MCU power consumption
Farnell element14 has stock availability of STMicroelectronics‘ STM32 L0.The combination of an ARM Cortex-M0+ core and STM32 ultra-low-power features, makes the STM32 L0 an ideal solution for applications operating on battery or supplied by energy harvesting. The device’s dynamic voltage scaling further reduces the device's power consumption, by on-the-fly adaptation of the digital supply voltage to the operating speed.
RGBC light sensor sees through dark glass
Farnell element14 has introduced the Avago APDS-9950 sensor providing red, green, blue and clear (RGBC) light sensing and proximity detection under a variety of lighting conditions and through a variety of attenuation materials, including dark glass. The proximity detection feature allows a large dynamic range of operations for accurate distance detection.
SBC development platform runs on Windows and Linux
Farnell element14 today announced availability of the Gizmo 2 DIY developer platform from GizmoSphere, a non-profit development board community. Built on the award-winning AMD Embedded G-Series SoC, Gizmo 2 is a second-generation open source x86-based single board computer (SBC) with 85 GFLOPS performance, providing the power of a high-performance computer and the I/O capabilities of a microcontroller.
