Connectivity boards offer communications based on WiFi
At Arduino Day, Arduino has launched two wireless connectivity boards to help streamline IoT development. The first of the boards is the MKR WiFi 1010, which offers low power consumption and has been designed not only to speed up and simplify the prototyping of WiFi-based IoT applications, but also to be embedded in production IoT applications that require WiFi connectivity.
Dev kit enables robust IoT applications
The CY8CKIT-062-WiFi-BT PSoC 6 Pioneer Kit from Cypress Semiconductor is in stock at Mouser Electronics. Ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) applications and wearable devices, the Pioneer Kit enables the development of Wi-Fi applications using a high-performance Cypress PSoC 6 microcontroller.
OpenVPX backplane designed for pluggable power supply
Provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, Pixus Technologies has released a new OpenVPX backplane with 1 VPX slot and 1 VITA 62 slot for a pluggable power supply.
Computer on module designed for range of commercial applications
Avalue Technology has announced Type6 COM express compact module products, ESM-APLC and ESM-KBLU. The COM Express specification defines a family of Small Form Factor (SFF) and Computer-on-Module (COM) single board computers appropriate for a wide range of commercial and mil/aero applications. One of the most significant benefits of Computer-on-Module (COM) is the reduction of development time by its modular design.
