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...

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.

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.

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.

Designers using the Raspberry Pi for embedded applications can now go to element14 for the Raspberry Pi Compute Development Kit. The 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 volume.

Farnell element14 has launched 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 new addition to the LaunchPad family, MSP-EXP430FR5969 - an easy-to-use Evaluation Module for the MSP4305969 microcontroller enables developers to reduce energy budgets, minimise product size and enable a batter...

Honeywell’s Nanopower Anisotropic Magnetoresistive Sensor ICs are now available from Farnell element14. The new ICs provide the highest level of magnetic sensitivity, as low as 7 Gauss typical, while requiring no more than 360 nA. The Sensor ICs are smaller, more durable and more reliable than reed switches, operating with the same sensitivity for the same cost.

Farnell element14 has launched the EcoCable and EcoFlex range from Alpha Wire. Utilising the innovative 100% recyclable mPPE insulation found in EcoWire, EcoCable and EcoFlex are designed to be up to 65% lighter and 47% smaller, with up to 91% lower outgassing than traditional PVC cable and capable of handling temperature extremes to -50°C.

In this article, Richard Curtin, Global Director of Strategic Alliance at element14, and Eddie Sinnott, VP Portfolio, Strategy & Marketing at Wolfson, discuss why the development of the recently launched Wolfson Audio Card demonstrates that the role of electronics distribution is being re-defined to support a new generation of innovation.

XP Power announces the EML15 series of 15W single output AC/DC power supplies suitable for use in medical equipment. Complying with 3rd edition EN60601-1, ES60601-1, CSA-C22.2 No. 60601-1, IEC60601-1 medical safety standards, this extremely compact power supply is believed to be the smallest device at this power rating available in the industry.
