Design engineers can see ready-to-use solutions for applications in communications, industrial automation, sensing and wireless

Bangalore, 17 September, 2014 - element14, the high-service distributor of technology products and solutions for electronics system design, manufacture and operations will be showcasing at Electronica India the latest version 7 of the award-winning EAGLE PCB software from CadSoft Computer, plus the largest range of development kits available globally from a single source. Electronica India will be held on 23-25 September, 2014 at BIEC in Bangalore. 

Version 7 of the award-winning EAGLE PCB software from CadSoftComputer brings together  a modern design environment with increased flexibility, enabling users to develop custom schematics using commercial standard software at a fraction of the cost. New features include an enhanced autorouter with significantly less transition points, resulting in more cost effective and efficiently routed PCBs that require fewer manual interactions.

Ravi Pagar, Regional Director, element14 Asia-Pacific said, "We are excited to be able to demonstrate our award-winning EAGLE from CadSoft, and show the newest products from our technology partners TI, Freescale and Raspberry Pi, and give our visitors a hands-on demo of the element14 Design Center where the largest range of dev kits and tools can be found in one location."

A complete dev tool resource for engineers that offers the most comprehensive range of development tool information alongside product details and supporting material is available at http://www.element14.com/designcenter

- the new Freescale Kinetis EA Seriesof microcontrollers and development tools; an easy-to-use, out-of-the-box solution integrating the ARM Cortex architecture and a revolutionary new development environment, it facilitates robust development across a wide range of applications in three simple steps: choose the hardware, install the software and go - available at in.element14.com/2438084

- PMODCompatible Reference Design Boards from Analog Devices extend the capabilities of FPGA/CPLD boards with mixed-signal/analogue integration for rapid development. PMODs are small I/O interface boards that offer an ideal way to extend the capabilities of FPGA/CPLD boards.

- the new open source, single board platform Revolutionizing the Internet of Things (RIoT) board, based on Freescale's i.MX 6Solo processor, and supported by an active Communityat element14.

- the new Raspberry Pi B+board offers more sensors and accessories enabling users to build bigger and better projects. Advanced power management and enhanced connectivity make it possible to connect power-hungry devices and accessories without needing mains power or an external USB hub.

- the Texas Instruments CC3200 Launchpadand CC3100 BoosterPack, a development platform and Wi-Fi device, created for faster and easier implementation of solutions for the Internet of Things(IoT). The CC3200 LaunchPad kitis the industry's first single-chip programmable microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity suitable for applications in cloud connectivity, safety and security, health and fitness, and metering. It features on-board emulation using an FTDI device and has temperature sensors, a 3-axis accelerometer, LEDs and push-buttons.
