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.
Micrium & Cypress Semiconductor collaborate
Micrium and Cypress Semiconductor have announced that Cypress's PSoC 4 M-seriesPioneer Kit will include a free one-month license of Micrium's uC/Probe Graphical LiveWatch Professional Edition data visualisation software.
Linear Technology to demonstrate Arduino-compatible system
At APEC 2015, which takes place from 16th to 18th March at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC, Linear Technology will demonstrate its latest high performance analogue technology and power products.
DC motor control shield accelerates Arduino projects
The Infineon DC Motor Control Shield for Arduino is available for purchase from Farnell element14. The product enables fast and inexpensive prototyping of DC motor control. It is one of the first high current motor control boards to be compatible to Arduino as well as to Infineon’s XMC1100 Boot Kit.
Smartphone-programmable MCU offers low-power connection
Punch Through Design has released support for Node-RED to connect the LightBlue Bean MCU to the Internet.Node-RED is an easy-to-use visual programming software that runs on Mac and Linux computers, including the Raspberry Pi.With Node-RED’s help, Bean capabilities expand to support IoT development, allowing Beans to interact with other Beans or hardware and interface with Twitter, Facebook and email as well as make and receive HTTP requests...
First wireless Arduino programming app for Windows
The Windows Bean Loader has been launched by Punch Through Design, hailed as the first-ever wireless Arduino programming app for Windows users. This enables Windows-based developers and hobbyists to easily upload code to their LightBlue Bean MCU board and experience the power of BLE, without cables or a physical connection to the LightBlue Bean.
Development platforms target power-sensitive embedded applications
Analog Deviceshas introduced two low-cost Blackfin processor-based development platforms, targeting demanding ultra-low-power, real-time applications for image sensing and advanced audio. The Blackfin Low Power Imaging Platform (BLIP) leverages the ADSP-BF707 Blackfin processor as well as Analog Devices’ optimised software libraries for video occupancy sensing.
Board-specific enclosures for Arduino & Raspberry Pi
Specifically targeting the Arduino and Raspberry Pi bareboard computers, Hammond Electronics has announced the 1593HAMEGG enclosures. Designed in response to user feedback, the enclosures offer an alternative to traditional base and lid designs where the bareboard is mounted inside an enclosure. Instead, the board is screwed into moulded studs located on the top of an egg-shaped base.
LED lighting shield for Arduino provided flicker free dimming
The new RGB LED Lighting Shield with XMC1202 for Arduino from Infineon Technologies is now available from Farnell element14. It is one of the industry’s first easy-to-use, intelligent lighting solutions compatible with Arduino and the XMC1100 Boot Kit of Infineon. The solution features three independent dimming engines with nine independent Pulse Density Modulated (PDM) channels.
