The RIoTboard has grown its connections and its functionality with the release by Farnell element14 of the RIoTboard adapter,enabling the connection of a variety of accessory types. These include accessories from a wide range including Arduino shields, MikroE Clicks, Pmods and Raspberry Pi.

Farnell element14 has introduced the C8051F850-B-DK development kit from Silicon Labs which opens up the C8051F85x/6x AEC-Q100-qualified, low-cost microcontroller family. The development kit enables developers to evaluate hardware and develop code, straight out of the box.

The term SBC or single board computer has been around for many years and has meant different things to different people. By Cliff Ortmeyer, Global Head of Solutions Development, Premier Farnell.

Since the acquisition of CadSoft by Premier Farnell, CadSoft has not stopped its ongoing investments into the development of the popular layout system, EAGLE. CadSoft, as highlighted in the just-launched version 7, has continuously worked on improving the software since the release of version 6, which included the game-changing implementation of the XML data format.

Hosted by Element14 and presented by Rick Winscot, this video highlights three common issues engineers face when designing for the Internet of Things (IoT) - cost, features and security!

Social media for engineers; is it a useful source of information, or simply a distraction? By Dianne Kibbey, Global Head of Community, element14.

Farnell element14 has launched the Texas Instruments MSP430 ULP(ultra low power) FRAM LaunchPad, a development platform which combines embedded FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory) and a holistic ultra low-power system architecture.The MSP-EXP430FR5969 is an easy-to-use Evaluation Module for the MSP4305969 microcontroller, and enables developers to reduce energy budgets, minimise product size and enable a battery-free world.

element14 is launching the latest in its extensive development kit range the Raspberry Pi Compute Development Kit to allow design engineers to harness the power of the Raspberry Pi for embedded applications. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module allows design engineers to use their own interface board that will host the compute module and deliver a smooth experience as they move from prototyping on the Pi through to shipping commercial product in volum...

The age of the development kit is very much upon us. According to Farnell element14 research conducted with more than 1,500 designers of electronic prototypes, on average development kits were used in 45% of all designs in the 12 months up to March 2014. By utilising readymade, low cost boards engineers can test their design ideas with a variety of components. By Richard Curtin, Global Director of Strategic Alliance, element14.

In this video, Farnell element14 takes it's first look at the latest Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Model B+.
