Onion Omega: Another WiFi dev board for IoT applications

Posted on April 23, 2015 by R-B Leave a comment

Only 1/4 the size of the Raspberry Pi computer, Onion Omega is the latest and most promising open hardware development platform for WiFi based IoT applications. It comes with built-in WiFi, Arduino-compatible and it runs full Linux. It lets you prototype hardware devices using familiar tools such as Git, pip, npm, and using high level programming languages such as Python, Javascript, PHP. The Onion Omega is fully integrated with the Onion Cloud, making it a breeze to connect physical devices to the Web to create Internet of Things applications. Congratulations to the Onion Team for far surpassing their Kickstarter funding goal, while there are

Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced from EE Live! and the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose the PIC16(L)F170X and PIC16(L)F171X family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), which combine a rich set of intelligent analog and core independent peripherals, along with cost-effective pricing and eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology. Available in 14-, 20-, 28-, and 40/44-pin packages, the 11-member PIC16F170X/171X family of MCUs integrates two Op Amps to drive analog control loops, sensor amplification and basic signal conditioning, while reducing system cost and board space. These new devices also offer built-in Zero Cross Detect (ZCD) to simplify TRIAC

New STM32 Nucleo development boards are mbed-enabled and support Arduino connectivity

Posted on March 3, 2014 by R-B Leave a comment

STMicroelectronics reveals affordable, extensible platform called STM32 Nucleo for efficient prototyping with STM32 Microcontrollers. The STM32 Nucleo development boards are mbed supported, and have Arduino pin headers on board so that the tons of existing Arduino shields can be easily used with these boards. The new STM32 Nucleo boards are mbed-enabled, and support Arduino connectivity while also providing ST Morpho extension headers that allow access to all of the microcontroller’s on-chip peripherals. As an mbed-enabled board, developers can make use of the mbed open source software platform, online tools and collaboration infrastructure at mbed.org. The board’s Arduino headers accept shields from the extensive Arduino

Catweazle Mini: A Trinket type tiny development board for NXP LPC810 ARM Cortex M0+
