Design engineers can see ready-to-use solutions for applications in sensing and wireless

Sydney, 27 August, 2014 - element14, the high-service distributor of technology products and solutions for electronics system design, manufacture and operations will be showcasing at ElectroneX (electronics design & assembly expo) their latest from the biggest range of development kitsavailable globally from a single source. ElectroneX will be held on 10-11 September, 2014 at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney.

Pete Davis, Regional Director - Australia/New Zealand, element14 Asia-Pacific said, " ElectroneX is one of the largest platforms for engineers and technicians to meet with experts and suppliers and we are excited to be here to demo our newest products from our technology partners TI, Freescale and Raspberry Pi, for applications in sensing, wireless and communications among others."

Visitors can get a hands-on demo at the element14 booth, number B11, and check out how using the right ready-to-adapt solutions can help build next-generation products with a faster time-to-market :  

- the high-performance Freescale Freedom FRDM-K22Fdevelopment kit is the second Freedom board featuring a Kinetis K next-generation microcontroller and crystal-less USB controller.  It is targeted at USB applications that require a high level of integration and the lower-power capabilities of the new generation of ARM© Cortex®-M4 core.

- 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 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.

- BeagleBone Blackdevelopment platform, based on TI's Sitara AM3358 processor, features an ARM Cortex™-A8 processor running at 1GHz and an onboard HDMI.

- Raspberry Pi ComputeDevelopment Kit, which allows design engineers to harness the power of the Raspberry Pi for embedded applications. The module allows design engineers to use their own interface board that will host the compute module and deliver a smooth experience as they move from prototyping on the Pi through to shipping commercial product in volume.

- 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.

- TE Connectivitycomponent solutions for Motion and Drives is a broad portfolio of TE products, available through element14, which helps save power and reduce applied cost.

- enjoy 20% off the Tektronix TBS1202BDigital Storage Oscilloscope at ElectroneX; compact yet packed with standard features including USB connectivity, 34 automated measurements, limit testing, data logging, frequency counter, TrendPlot™ and a context-sensitive help menu.

- in addition check out version 7 of the award-winning EAGLE PCB software from CadSoftComputer which brings 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.
