MaxRefDes178# “is a cube camera reference design based on the MAX78000 and MAX32666 microcontrollers to help AI at the edge device designers to accelerate their proof-of-concept to the market phase,” according to the company. Measuring 41 x 44 x 39mm, inside are a pair ...

MikroElektronika has redesigned its development board for all Microchip PIC, dsPIC, PIC24, PIC32 microcontrollers around its own interchangeable add-on board formats, including ‘SiBrain’ MCU boards. Called ‘Fusion for PIC v8’, it has five mikroBus ‘Click’ peripheral  expansion sockets (photo right) – Click is another MikroE format, there are over 1,000 to choose from. Display board sockets allow four different sizes of TFT ...

Responding to an international shortage of audio chips, Advantech has developed non-audio version of its most popular motherboards to help mitigate supply issues. “GPUs were perhaps always destined for shortage, but one area now being seen are the unprecedented shortages in the world of audio,” according to UK-based Impulse Embedded, which stocks Advantech-based industrial PCs. “As innocuous as it may sound, ...

Fraunhofer IMS and Arduino have release a stand-alone C-programmed AI framework for Arduino, allowing battery-powered AI hardware to be created without needing a link to the cloud. Sensor data can be processed directly in the device. Training data can be captured directly on the device and used for training. Called AIfES, “the high optimisation of the framework allows even the 8bit controller of the ...

Aaeon has introduced a 15.6in industrial touch screen all-in-one PC with a choice of Intel Comet Lake 10th generation Core processors. Dubbed OMNI-2155-CML, these are the first in the Omni family to offer a socketed processor – selected from Core i3, i5, i7, i9 or Celeron up to 35W TDP – alongside which up to 64Gbyte of DDR4 memory can be ...

Advanced Micro Peripherals of Cambridge has released two 3U video boards for VPX backplanes. XStream-VPX is a 40ms latency H.264/H.265 video streamer with eight PAL/NTSC inputs, one HDMI/DVI, RS343/RGB/STANAG, and one HD-SDI input AVC-VPX (pictured) is a multi-channel frame grabber with eight PAL/NTSC inputs, eight raw digital video streams to VPX host and live video overlay to system display The ...
