A Call for More Semiconductor Companies to Participate in Start-Ups

On 三月 22, 2018 in All, IoT, Maker, Open Source, StartUp by Mark Patrick

Hardware Pioneers founder Fabiano Bellisario explains, “From the feedback we have had tonight it is clear that the Hardware Pioneers concept is continuing to gain ever greater momentum. There is a thriving, vibrant electronic engineering community out there and organising these events gives everyone a unique opportunity to learn about what other people are doing, discuss their own ideas and hopefully find new inspiration. The next stage for us,” he continues, “is to encourage more of the larger semiconductor companies to get involved and engage with the various starts-ups we are showcasing at these gatherings.”

Open Source Reinvents the Keyboard

On 三月 9, 2018 in All, Computing, Dev Tools, Maker, Open Source by Bruce Byfield

Open source developers are rethinking the traditional mechanical keyboard. New releases, such as the Keyboardio Model 01, display an aesthetically pleasing, ergonomic, programmable, customizable, and quiet mechanical keyboard as an alternative to high-end proprietary keyboards.

Introducing an MCU Guy to FPGA: Part 4

On 二月 5, 2018 in All, Computing, Dev Tools, Maker, Student Central by Mouser Staff

Recently, I was given a project that required transition from MCU to FPGA development. In this four-part blog series, I examine how I translated my existing knowledge and experience with MCUs into FPGA development. In Part 4, I delve into the bridges that compose the FPGA fabric.

Introducing an MCU Guy to FPGA: Part 3

On 十二月 13, 2017 in Computing, Dev Tools, Maker, Student Central by Mouser Staff

Recently I was given a project that required me to transition from MCU to FPGA development. In this four-part blog series, I examine how I translated my existing knowledge and experience with MCUs into FPGA development. In Part 2, I explored example code and discovered additional useful resources. Now in Part 3, I learned about OpenCV and simple data transferring from the FPGA to the MCU.

CLIK Lab Offers Engineering Students New Opportunities

On 十二月 11, 2017 in All, Maker, StartUp, Student Central by CLIK

The Politecnico di Torino, one of the leading academic institutions in in Italy, recently inaugurated their new laboratory, CLIK (Contamination Lab & Innovation Kitchen), a space where students can work together in an informal way. As an interface between academia and entrepreneurship, CLIK provide students not only with the opportunity to develop electronic systems, but also opportunity to learn how to present them in an appropriate way. A hackathon started the new installation, and Mouser Electronics as a sponsor sent its EMEA specialists.

Making Mathematical Sense of PID Controllers

On 十二月 8, 2017 in All, Automation, Industrial, IoT, Maker, Power by Mike Parks

PID controllers are a popular method for including a feedback as a mechanism to help efficiently control industrial processes. Short for “proportional, integrative, derivative,” PID controllers keep the output of a system constant based on user provided setpoint. Tuning the PID controller parameters, though, requires a bit of math to maximize efficiency and minimize adjustments and corrections based on feedback.

Technical Content Is Blazing New Trails

On 十一月 10, 2017 in All, Maker, Student Central by Deborah Ray

On Halloween afternoon, Mouser’s technical content team was hard at work developing the company’s latest technical articles, ezines, blogs, videos, projects, and web pages. A simple observation—and the team discussion that ensued—highlights the many areas of expertise, personalities, and passions that developing technical content requires. What’s more, it underscores how the thriving trend in technical content marketing exemplifies the changing roles and skills required for today’s engineers and technical professionals.

Introducing an MCU Guy to FPGA: Part 2

On 十一月 8, 2017 in All, Computing, Dev Tools, Maker, Student Central by Mouser Staff

Recently I was given a project that would require me to transition from MCU to FPGA development. In this four-part blog series, I examine how I translated my existing knowledge and experiencing with MCUs into FPGA development. In Part 1, I examined some advantages and disadvantages of FPGAs, introduced the Terasic DE10 Nano development kit, and explored a few key FPGA planning considerations. Now in Part 2, I explore example code and discover additional useful resources.
