Designing for the Internet of Things
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!
I felt your social presence
Social media for engineers; is it a useful source of information, or simply a distraction? By Dianne Kibbey, Global Head of Community, element14.
Dev kit combines FRAM and ULP system architecture
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 launches Raspberry Pi Compute Development Kit
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...
Development kits: identifying and supporting market needs
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.
First look at the Raspberry Pi Model B+
In this video, Farnell element14 takes it's first look at the latest Raspberry Pi, the Raspberry Pi Model B+.
Development platform eases path to Internet of Things
Texas Instruments CC3200 Launchpad and CC3100 BoosterPack, a development platform and Wi-Fi device, created for faster and easier implementation of solutions for the Internet of Things(IoT) is now available at Farnell element14. The kit is the industry’s first single-chip programmable microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity suitable for applications in cloud connectivity, home automation, safety and security, health and fitness, an...
Embracing open source hardware
The impact open source hardware has had in the past year has been momentous. Educators, students and hobbyists have all traditionally been big proponents of open-source hardware, but in the last 12 months we finally saw large companies and professional engineers begin to openly embrace the open source movement as well.
Development board targets USB applications
A new development board featuring a Freescale Kinetis K next-generation microcontroller and crystal-less USB controller is now available from Farnell element14. The Freescale Freedom FRDM-K22F is targeted at USB applications that require a high level of integration and the lower-power capabilities of the new generation of ARM Cortex-M4 core; @120MHz with Floating Point Unit and embeds 512KB Flash and 128KB RAM in a LQFP64 package.
Next generation Raspberry Pi unveiled
Farnell element 14 and RS Components have launched Raspberry Pi B+. This new version has been developed with a close ear to customer feedback and meets many of the requests that have flowed back since the multi-million, credit-card sized computer was launched just over two years ago.
