MCUs integrate FPU & ADC for low latency & wide bandwidth
Microchip has added a series to its high-performance PIC32MZ family of 32-bit MCUs, which features an integrated hardware FPU for high performance and lower latency in intensive single and double-precision maths applications. This 48-member PIC32MZ EF series also offers a 12-bit, 18 MSPS ADC for a wide array of high-speed, wide-bandwidth applications.
Getting hands-on with the Cortex-M7
The first MCU featuring ARM’s newest M-class core is now in volume production, supported by a very capable development kit, as Philip Ling ‘discovers’
Morph your ideas on to your computer
The Sensel Morph, which is powered by patented Pressure Grid technology, offers a new generation of multi-touch interaction in the form of an input device that allows people to interact with computers and programmes in a whole new way. With its high dynamic range of force sensitivity, the Morph can detect not just fingers but any object, from a paintbrush to a drumstick.
Open source hardware enhances PLC, panel PC benefits
The Industrial Shields range of PLCs and panel PCs launched by RS Components combine the advantages of open-source hardware (OSH) with the reliability of industrial-standard products. In the past few years the flexibility of open-source development boards has eased the design process for electronic engineers, enabling faster prototyping for cutting-edge applications, especially in the Internet of Things (IoT) space.
LCD controller delivers evaluation solution for Arduino Due
The Epson LCD Controller Shield Board for the Arduino Due platform is available at Ineltek UK. Supporting a wide range of WQVGA and QVGA TFT displays and plugging directly into the Arduino board, the S5U13781R01C100 allows rapid prototyping of Epson LCDC solutions. The TFT Shield Board is based on the popular Epson S1D13781 controller IC with embedded 384kByte display buffer which supports 8/16-bit direct and indirect CPU interfaces as well as SP...
ARM-powered MCUs arrive with development kit
The STM32F7 series 32-bit microcontrollers and the STM32F746G Discovery Kit from ST Microelectronics are now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. With ART Accelerator as well as an L1 cache, the microcontrollers deliver the maximum theoretical performance of the ARM Cortex‑M7, whether code is executed from embedded Flash or external memory.
Three models comprise programmable logic controller range
A range of flexible and customisable programmable logic controllers (PLCs) exclusively from CONTROLLINO has been introduced by Conrad Business Supplies. The new products are suited to a variety of automation applications, including temperature management, advanced lighting and media control.
Accelerate the development of smartphone-controlled devices
Punch Through has announced the launch of the Bean+, the newest member of the company’s LightBlue BLE ecosystem. Bean+ is an Arduino compatible board that users programme wirelessly using BLE. It is the easiest way to get started with BLE and create smartphone-controlled IoT devices.
Arduino Yun Mini tempts embedded engineers and students
The new Arduino Yun Mini extends the Arduino portfolio of open-source electronics development and prototyping boards of RS Components (RS). Aimed at embedded engineers, hackers and students, the Arduino Yun Mini is a redesign of the Arduino Yun WiFi microcontroller board and has been re-engineered to be used with a breadboard, making prototyping easier, and also provides its functionality in a light and highly compact package.
Colston Hall & Renishaw join forces to launch Music Tech Lab
Bristol school children will be given the chance to design and build their own digital music instruments, thanks to a new three year partnership between Bristol Music Trust and global engineering company Renishaw. The two organisations have come together with hi-tech educators Conductive Music to create an inspiring education programme that combines engineering, maths and music, giving 7-11 year olds the opportunity to learn about music technolog...
