The new Arduino Ethernet is an Arduino with Ethernet
shield on one board
One of the most popular Arduino shields is the Ethernet shield.
Smart Projects, the Italian manufacturer of the original Arduino’s,
has now combined the shield and the Arduino on one board. The
Arduino Ethernet is programmable with a standard FTDI USB adapter.
You can use a mains adapter or Ethernet. The optional Power over
Ethernet module makes it possible to use the board in places where
there are no sockets. Read more... |

Logic analyzer with 16 channels has free protocol
analyse software and SDK
The Logic16 is a powerful logic analyzer in a small, robust,
aluminium housing made by the American manufacturer Saleae Logic.
Via USB you can simply measure the timing of I²C, SPI, serial
and parallel data up to 16 channels. The Logic16 has a maximum
scanning frequency of 12,5 Ms/s up to 100 Ms/s and a memory of
10 billion samples. The PC software offers many functions including
protocol analyzers. You can even develop your own analyzer plug-in
with the Logic SDK.

Olimex has AVR, ARM and PIC32 boards which are compatible
with Arduino
For Arduino there are many shields available to quickly and easily make
your embedded application. The Arduino is often not suitable for
professional applications. Olimes has developed Arduino compatible
boards which are robust, have an industrial temperature reach and
are foreseen with a powerfull processor, including one with a STM32
and two with a PIC32. The board are programmable via USB with
open-source software.

Board with 16 programmable PWM exits is usable for LED’s and
servo’s
Do you want to control multiple LED’s or servo’s with your microcontroller,
then this board is the solution. The TLC5940 Breakout is a PWM module with
16 exits, whereby of every exit the pulse width can be varied in 4096 steps.
Furthermore the exits have an adjustable flow limitation so LED’s can be
connected directly. You can connect multiple modules via daisy chain on 1
serial exit of the microcontroller.
