Mikroe has added a smart 85V 10A stepper motor driver to its range of interchangeable ‘Click’ boards. Called Power Step 2 Click, the board “is based on the powerSTEP01, a 1/128 microstepping controller from STMicroelectronics that integrates eight n-channel mosfets with ultra-low Rds(on)”, according to Mikroe. “It features a 5MHz SPI interface, multiple safety protections, and additional control pins for ...
Embedded World 2025: LED design is highlighted by Rutronik with its RAB5 adapter board. It features ams Osram Osire LEDs which are designed for dynamic, ambient lighting. LEDs are customisable to meet specific applications, using the manufacturer’s graphic user interface (GUI). LEDs are individually addressable chips for colour and driver selection. The LEDs can be used for interior and ambient ...
Mikroe has introduced a dual-mode LTE-M and NB-IoT tranceiver in its ‘Click’ board circuit prototyping format. Called ‘LTE IoT 10 Click’, it is built around Sequans’ Monarch GM02S IC, which supports global 617MHz to 2.2GHz operation. The board is 3GPP LTE Release 14 compliant, and can be upgraded to Release 17, according to Mikroe. Transmission is at up to +23dBm, ...
Toshiba has got together with development board maker Mikroe to create a platform for its TB9M003FG automotive three-phase motor control and driver IC. AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified, the IC has a 32bit 40MHz Arm Cortex-M0 CPU and a vector co-processor for sensorless vector control, as well as gate-drivers to control external n-channel mosfets. AEC-Q101 qualified mosfets are included on the ...
Mikroe has added a 915MHz LoraWAN data comms radio to its Click family of interchangeable development boards with its mikroeBus interface. Board LR 11 is built around Ezurio’s 453-00139R module, which itself relies on a Silicon Labs EFR32 processor and Semtech SX1262 radio. A matching 868/915MHz FlexDipole antenna is included. The assembly supports LoRaWAN classes A, B and C, and ...
Sheffield-based Pimoroni has introduced a wireless development board with Raspberry Pi’s RP2350 microcontroller. 2.4GHz comms is through a Raspberry Pi RM2 module – a module that Raspberry Pi has yet to reveal. Update (Oct 24): Pimoroni now sells the RM2 alone on a breakout board (link below). Also on-board is 16Mbyte of QSPI flash, 8Mbyte of ram, USB-C and a ...
Snap-off development boards are not a new idea, but they are new at Mikroe, where the idea has been combined with the company’s Click format to form Click Snap. “Users can develop their systems in the usual way using peripheral and development boards equipped with the mikroBUS socket,” said the company. “When the concept has been proven and code developed, ...
SiFive has announced a quad-core RISC-V development board. HiFive Premier P550, as it will be known, is built around an Eswin EIC7700 processor which has SiFive’s 64bit three-issue, out-of-order P550 cores, 256kbyte L2 cache and 4Mbyte L3 cache. It is collaborating with Canonical to ensure Ubuntu will run on the board, which is similar to a PC motherboard. “The board ...
MikroElektronika has announced a shield board that adapts its Click modules to Red Pitaya, the FPGA software-defined instrument and development tool, “The size of a credit card, Red Pitaya combines the functionalities of oscilloscope, signal generator and spectrum analyzer with programming capabilities and open-source software,” said MikroE. There are two sockets for Click boards (each with switchable 3.3 and 5V ...
Rutronik has created a smart motor drive evaluation board that combines an Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU with CAN and LIN interfaces – with all of its parts available in automotive-qualified form. Called RDK4 and measuring 48 x 115mm, it is “integrated into Infineon’s ModusToolbox development environment, where software examples are available”, said component distributor Rutronik, which has built the board around ...
