Do you want to code your own retro game?
Thanks to a new gaming device produced by Kitronik,the next-gen of teenagers will be able to enjoy the classic computer games of Pong and Snake. Now, students and young at heart adults will not only be able to play them, but code them themselves using the powerful BBC micro:bit. Kitronik has created the :GAME ZIP 64 which brings the simple fun of these classic games to today’s teenagers. The device will be unveiled for the first time at the...
Accelerator boards added to Mouser linecard
Mouser Electronics has announced a distribution agreement with RushUp, a creator of product accelerator boards for makers, developers, and high-mix/low-volume companies that want to quickly incorporate Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into their products. Through the agreement, Mouser will distribute RushUp's KITRA and JAM board solutions.
Module provides Bluetooth, Zigbee extension for IoT platforms
The BLU Sense module from UDOO is in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics. Fully compatible with UDOO X86 single board computers, the versatile and affordable BLU Sense module provides an ideal wireless I/O extension for Internet of Things (IoT) platforms.
Compact motor controllers save enclosure space
Typically, small drives for machines and equipment are powered up to 9.0A and are protected by conventional motor circuit breakers. However, when space in the enclosure is limited, it is very difficult to find room for significant numbers of protective components. Rittal’s new motor controllers for its RiLine Compact power distribution system offer a solution. To help engineers, Rittal has also produced a 3D configurator that reduces the ti...
Illuminating interior lighting and testing
Through a collaboration with Radiant Vision Systems,Molex has improved its design and testing of illuminated USB connectivity modules used in automotive dashboards. By utilising Radiant’s ProMetric Imaging Colorimeter, Molex design engineers have enhanced their design, measurement, and production capabilities for illuminated components, such as halo lighting on USB ports and auxiliary jacks.
Development kit jumpstarts FPGA designs
Microsemi has teamed up with Digi-Key Electronics to provide the SmartFusion2 system-on-chip (SoC) field programmable gate array (FPGA) maker board exclusively to Digi-Key’s global customer base. This low-cost evaluation platform lowers the barrier for hardware and firmware engineers to develop embedded applications for the ARM Cortex-M3 and 12K logic elements (LE) FPGA fabric in the SmartFusion2 device.
LED lighting: weathering the storm
LED street lighting actually presents a unique challenge, not only for the suppliers into that market space but for the cities and municipalities that are spending millions of dollars for a light source that they hope is very energy efficient. Without that return, the city really has no incentive to go to LED street lighting.
Power project working on LED replacements for UV light sources
A total of five research institutes and companies have been working on 'UV Power' since February 2017. This is a collaborative project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).The partners have made it their goal to provide high-power UV LEDs to cover a wide variety of applications. These LEDs will eventually replace conventional UV light sources, which often contain toxic mercury, in areas such as production, disinf...
wysiwyg helps create unique light show for ØKUBE
Ask lighting designers what gives them most pleasure, and the chances are they’ll answer “the opportunity to be creative”. But: a stunning design eventually needs to be translated into a working reality. Waiting until the show itself to see if the design can actually be implemented isn’t an option – but neither, in the majority of cases, is it feasible to put together a ‘live’ trial.That was the challenge...
Top tips when choosing the best power inverter
TheProgressive Industries PT50C 50A Portable Electrical Management Systemis supposedly the best power inverter, which includes a high low voltage protection feature. This power inverter offers protection against accidental 220V and it comes with a lifetime warranty. This 50A power inverter also gives protection against open neutral and C frequency. In addition, the air conditioning compressor has a time delay.
