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...
MCUs supported by starter kit, evaluation boards
The STM32F7 series of very high performance MCUs with ARM Cortex-M7 core from ST Microelectronics is now available at distributor Rutronik with a starter kit and two evaluation boards. With ST’s ART Accelerator and an L1 cache, the STM32F7 MCUs deliver the full performance of the ARM Cortex-M7 core with code executed from either embedded Flash memory or an external memory.
Project starter kit uses MATLAB, Raspberry Pi combination
The MATLABand SimulinkStudent Suite – Raspberry Pi Bundle which includes the Raspberry Pi Starter Kit and the MATLAB and Simulink Student Suite from MathWorks is on sale at Farnell element14. It allows a student or self learner to conveniently start their project with model-based block diagrams on the Raspberry Pi 2 using the same tools commercial engineers and scientists use every day.
