Since it was announced back in September 2011, interest has been growing for the Arduino platform. Renesas has now entered this arena with one of the fastest Arduino compatible boards – The GR-Sakura – based on an RX63N 32-bit microcontroller operating at 100MHz. Ian Hall, Principal Engineer with the MCU&Tools Group, Industrial & Communications Business Group, at Renesas, explores more in this ES Design magazine article.

Mouser Electronics is now taking pre-orders for Intel’s Galileo Development Board, based on the Intel Quark Application Processor. The board is based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000 Processor, a 32-bit Intel Pentium-class system on a chip (SoC). It is the first product in a new family of Arduino certified boards featuring Intel architecture.

In this video you will see where to find code examples on the IDE. The first one, LOGO, invites users to interact with the Arduino Robot using the keypad to tell it whether to move forwards/backwards or turn left/right. Users will have to configure the robot's movement using the Calibration example.

Texas Instruments has today announced that the Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processor has been selected to power the newest Arduino board, the Arduino TRE. TI’s 1 GHz Sitara AM335x processor offers up to 100x more performance on the Arduino TRE, compared to the Arduino Leonardo or Uno.

In this video you will see how to unbox the Arduino Robot and mount it, and how to use the Arduino IDE to program the robot. After an introduction by Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, assisted by Xun Yang, explains how the robot can be used to make learning about electronics and mechanics easy.

From automobile assembly and PCB fabrication, to consumer electronics, robotics is home to some of the most exciting engineering taking place today. Learning about robotics, whether you are an experienced engineer or complete beginner, has never been easier thanks to the application notes, software examples and tutorials available online today. Mike Powell, Technical Development Manager for Farnell element14, explores further in this ES Desdign m...

Altera has today announced the introduction of five new low-cost development kits based on its Cyclone V FPGAs. These new kits make it easy for designers to cost-effectively get started on FPGA development with an entry point of just $49. Altera provides the industry’s broadest portfolio of low-cost solutions that deliver optimal power and performance based on customer’s unique design requirements.

A prototyping kit for designing wirelessly connected, location-aware internet devices has been announced, with the aim of quickly moving prototypes of intelligent ARM-based technology into production-ready designs.

FTDI Chip has confirmed that its ground-breaking FT800 Embedded Video Engine is a key component in an exciting new Kickstarter project - the Gameduino2 game adaptor shield from Excamera. In 2011, the Kickstarter-funded Gameduino made major industry impact by successfully bringing vintage gaming to the popular Arduino platform.

Roboteq has today announced the most versatile and capable I/O expansion card ever made for the ultra-popular Raspberry PI Single Board Computer. Roboteq’s RIO - for Raspberry I/O - stacks on top of the Raspberry to create an amazingly powerful embedded control and navigation computer, in a small footprint of just 65 x 85 x 20mm.
