Seeed has released a $12.90 “3D Gesture & Tracking Shield” for the Raspberry Pi that uses Microchip’s electrical near-field sensing technology for touchpad input and 3D gesture tracking at up to 10 cm. This shield is based on Microchip MGC3130 chip, which enables the Raspberry...

1 MHz operation and high integration in a compact 3mmx4mm QFN package to deliver the best power density with a minimum external component count. Silanna Semiconductor, an innovative producer of disruptive technologies, today announced its highly integrated SZPL8216A family of...

EHZ family available now in production volumes from Future Electronics They are an ideal choice for electronics designers who require capacitors that offer stable electrical characteristics at high frequencies, while giving high reliability. The EEHZ family capacitors are available...

Digital Caliper Computer Interface can be used to log data on a spreadsheet. Report by Jeremy S. Cook @ blog.hackster.io With a few pointers found here, he found that this data is transmitted in a continuous stream in 24 bits at 1.5 volts. He therefore level-shifted the 1.5V output to...

FireAnt is a low-cost, thumb-sized, breadboard-friendly FPGA dev board for makers and hardware designers. FireAnt is the first third-party development board for the Efinix Trion product family. It provides an easy-to-use development platform for FPGA makers and hobbyists. Powered by...

This Li-Po/Li-ion Arduino charger shield is mainly designed to power up the Arduino from single 3.6V Li-Po battery. Li-Ion and Li-Pol Charger/ DC-DC Boost converter Arduino shield provides 6.5V/400mA from single Lithium Polymer battery. The Arduino shield is equipped with BQ21040...

C&K’s FDSD and FDSE series are micro-mini, side-actuated detection switches suitable for applications which require vertical side detection. They are particularly useful for safety control applications, and for medical and consumer devices. An example of the use of these switches...

The LM5164 synchronous buck converter is designed to regulate over a wide input voltage range, minimizing the need for external surge suppression components. A minimum controllable on-time of 50 ns facilitates large step-down conversion ratios, enabling the direct step-down from a 48-V...
