New range of building blocks for IoT development are just out there! Just like LEGO, PUREmodules by Pure Engineering are the building blocks for IoT connected smart sensors where there is no need to solder, using breadboard or wires. It’s all done just by snapping the modules together...

The MAX11311 is industry's first configurable high-voltage mixed-signal I/O that allows user-defined ADC, DAC, or GPIO functionality. Programming MAX11311 is very easy. A nice GUI tool helps to generate the right register values. If you want to make a universal signal processing board...

by Denis Meyer @ elektormagazine.com: With a local (on chip) precision of ±1°C over a range of temperature from –40°C to +65°C, and a remote (up to 3 external sensors) precision of ±1°C extended up to +125°C, the MCP990X digital temperature sensor offers an economic and...

Everlight (New Taipei City, Taiwan) has introduced an ambient light sensor that operates at 550nm with a very low signal calculation failure rate and a high current efficiency. An anticipated application for this device is heart rate signal detection in wearable electronics for the...

Maxim Integrated has posted details of the MAX30205 temperature sensor for thermometer applications. The sensor accurately measures temperature and provide an overtemperature alarm/interrupt/shutdown output. by Graham Prophet @ edn.com The chip converts the temperature...

Susan Nordyk@ edn.com: These micropower low-pressure sensors operate from a supply voltage of just 0.9 V to 1.8 V and are intended for use with noncorrosive, nonionic working fluids in such applications as medical devices and instrumentation, environmental controls, HVAC equipment,...

NXP’s accelerometer chip MMA8450Q, provides orientation detection on handheld devices: This application note targets the portrait/landscape orientation detection feature which has become standard in many hand-held electronic devices. Additionally, this application note aims to...

Knowing the amount of alcohol you drunk is becoming easier using the iBreathe Breathalyzer project by Dave Clarke. You just have to blow in the alcohol sensor, then it pings the result to a smartphone app and to the cloud to document it as a table so you can see alcohol intake through...
