Our featured video this month is by John Harper of ON Semiconductor. He discusses the benefits of using the newly launched range of compact intelligent power modules IPM’s in motor drives. Using these modules ensures reliability, efficiency and compact drive solutions for brushless DC, permanent magnet synchronous and AC induction motors
Add pick and place functionality to your Arduino project. The Braccio is a fully operational robotic arm designed for desktop operation under the control of your Arduino board. Able to pick and move objects it can also be used in control applications such as an automated tracking camera mount or solar panel positioner to follow the sun. Includes 6 servo motors for positional control
If you are operating in extreme temperature environments take a look at the Vishay HOTcap™ devices. Designed for the higher operating temperatures in automotive electronic components up to 175 °C covered by the AEC-Q200 standard and Qualified for automotive applications.
Improve your ability to solve electrical problems by quickly finding the fault, repairing and then validating that the circuit is functioning correctly. The new Fluke 279 FC Thermal Multimeter is the ideal solution, combining two tools in one by integrating thermal imaging into a full-featured digital multimeter. Ideal for industrial electricians and technicians checking for hot spots in circuits, components, wires, connectors, switches etc.

Interested in long range communications then take a look at the new Semtech range of LoRa transceivers. They offer a range of modules using chirp spread-spectrum operation to ensure high interference immunity. Ideal for your IoT applications including linking in remote battery powered sensor circuits.
For remote IoT node energy sensitive applications, Silicon Labs Pearl and Jade Gecko microcontrollers are worth reviewing. The low current active modes and short wake-up times enable extended operation from single coin cells. Powerful 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 and M3 cores allow numerous application coverage including smart metering, remote sensing and building automation. A starter kit is available to support your project design.
If you need to see how your complex waveforms are behaving the new ISO-TECH IDS-2000E digital storage oscilloscopes will clearly display these on their 800x400 8 inch TFT LCD. Segmental waveform and waveform search functions support analysis. 2-channel and 4-channel models are available with 70, 100 and 200MHz options. l²C/SPI/UART/CAN/LIN serial bus trigger and decoding function. Take a look at the full features and models available to suit your needs.
