Flying Ostriches and Other New World Realities Explored

On listopad 13, 2017 in All, Empowering Innovation, Industrial, IoT, Robotics by David Fambrough

Have you seen the recent Samsung commercial where a curious ostrich suddenly finds itself wearing a Virtual Reality headset solely by accident, and how it is presented with the idea of flight for the first time? Inspired by a new reality, the ostrich runs and flails its wings until one day it magically takes flight. (Yes, many of us TV viewers and the other ostriches watched on in disbelief—captivated.) It’s truly amazing what new worlds of opportunity this technology brings. And it’s not limited to only gaming or enhancing television.

Technical Content Is Blazing New Trails

On listopad 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 listopad 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.

Introducing an MCU Guy To FPGA: Part 1

Recently I was given a project that would require me to make the transition from MCU to FPGA development, which requires a move into the bigger and more capable ARM cortex outside of the safety and ease of the mBed environment. In this four-part blog series, I’ll examine how to translate my existing knowledge and experiencing with MCUs into FPGA development. In Part 1, we’ll begin with some advantages and disadvantages of FPGAs, introduce you to the Terasic DE10 Nano development kit, and look at a few key FPGA planning considerations.

Precession: The Spinning Gyroscope

On listopad 3, 2017 in All, Computing, IoT by Rudy Ramos

While on a recent trip, I noticed that my phone was having problems navigating and keeping me on course. The phone’s display kept pointing in the wrong direction, and the problem did not seem to be with Google Maps or acquiring a good global positioning system (GPS) signal. Instead, the problem seemed to be with the phone’s gyroscope.

On říjen 30, 2017 in All, Computing, Empowering Innovation, IoT, Medical, Security by Mouser Staff

Grant Imahara and electronics product experts from Mouser Electronics were at Arm TechCon 2017 to demonstrate how Arm-based products and technologies are shaping smarter cities. This year’s Arm TechCon featured embedded security as the overarching theme in keynotes, presentations, and exhibit floor time.

Adopting A Functional Approach To Control Cabinet Functional Design

On říjen 30, 2017 in All, Circuit Protection, General, Industrial by Mouser Staff

As more and more technology is deployed within industrial and commercial environments, there is an increasing need to safely and securely house all the various components that make up today’s control systems. Planning the design of a control cabinet according to equipment functions not only makes sense from the perspectives of accessibility, maintenance, and flow, but it also helps separate any equipment that might be susceptible to interference from other components.

The Mysterious Case Of The Missing Mobile Wallet

On říjen 25, 2017 in All, Computing, IoT, RF, Security by Barry Manz

Near-field communications (NFC) is one of the world’s most useful wireless technologies and is extremely well suited for mobile payment processing. Despite it having all the ingredients for success, it remains woefully under used, with retailers opting for retailer-specific apps.
