Build your own robot
Seek N’Sneakis an Arduino Mega 2560 powered self-controlled robot which is able to find objects, pick them up and relocate them. The two driving wheels of this robot are powered by independently controlled motors and equipped with 128-steps-per-revolution encoders allowing for precise control of the angular position of the wheel, as well as its velocity and acceleration.
The key to stop you getting board
We spend our days at a keyboard and most of our nights, too. The keyboard is how we practice our craft. Something even a little bit more comfortable makes a world of difference. Something even a little bit better designed will help us be happier and more productive.
IPv6 over Bluetooth Smart lays IoT foundations
Vendors are introducing Bluetooth Smart sensors that promise to accelerate the roll out of the Internet of Things. These new devices leverage existing Internet standards for end-to-end compatibility. By John Leonard, Tactical Marketing Manager, Nordic Semiconductor.

Open hardware reference design accelerates IoT innovation
Sierra Wireless has announced the beta release of Project mangOH, a wireless open hardware reference design for rapidly building IoT solutions.
Development platform can be extended
Cortus has announced the availability of a development platform for its APS processor cores. The Cortus development platform comprises a board based on a Xilinx Spartan-6X75, the Cortus Eclipse IDE and the Cortus GCC toolchain. The board includes an I/O footprint compatible with the Arduino Due, enabling the wide choice of Arduino Due-compatible shields to be used to extend the platform.
Android app allows wireless Arduino programming
Punch Through Design has released the Bean Loader for Android, the company’s first wireless Arduino programming app for Android users. The app allows developers and DIYers to easily programme on the device and upload code to LightBlue Bean via Bluetooth directly from their Android device, without cables or any physical connection.
Development boards advance applications versatility
Farnellelement14 has added three new NXP development boards in the LPC Xpresso family. The new LPC Xpresso V3 boards work with most existing LPC Xpresso accessories and Arduino compatible shields to enhance functional capabilities, offering more versatility for applications in motor control, power management, white goods, RFID readers, embedded audio applications, industrial automation, and e-metering.
Rapidly design IoT applications with RTOS
Texas Instruments has announced key updates to its complete RTOS, which brings the ease-of-use associated with power management operations in high-level OSs, such as Android and Windows, to embedded MCU-based applications. As a result, using the TI-RTOS 2.12, developers can easily leverage the power management features built into TI devices to create IoT applications with a longer battery life.
