LCD development module accelerates HMI design
The VM801B Embedded Video Engine (EVE) LCD development module from FTDI is now available from distributor Alpha Micro. Based around FTDI’s FT801 EVE display controller IC the module provides a perfect platform from which to implement touchscreen human machine interfaces (HMI) using an object-oriented approach.
The appetite for consumer robotics is growing
While the field of robotics may have recently been labelled the 'fastest growing industry in the world', robots themselves continue to be associated with the unpredictable, triggering extreme emotions amongst the general population. By Simon Holt, Marketing Manager, element14.
IoT a target for high performance microcontroller
The STM32F7 MCU series from ST Microelectronics, a microcontroller that features the 32-bit ARM Cortex-M7 processor is in stock at distributor RS Components. The Cortex-M7 is the latest high performance processor core in the Cortex-M family and has been designed for use in advanced consumer, industrial, medical and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
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.
