XSENS MTi-8 Click is a new motion sensing Click board from MIKROE which provides positioning (RTK-supported) and orientation tracking in demanding outdoor embedded applications. The board is based on the MTI-8-5A, an RTK-enhanced GNSS/INS module from Xsens that combines GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning with advanced inertial sensing and real-time sensor fusion. Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “This ...
Posifa Technologies is introducing its PVC4001-C MEMS Pirani vacuum transducer, part of its PVC4000 series. The PVC4001 configuration combines a MEMS thermal conduction sensor, measurement electronics, a microprocessor, and an onboard barometric pressure sensor. This is within an ultra-compact PCB assembly with a connector-terminated wire harness, said the San Jose company. The device is aimed at portable digital vacuum gauges ...
Eyeing near infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging applications, Hamamatsu is releasing its G17242/G17243-0808T 2D InGaAs area image sensors. Aimed at both R&D and industrial engineering, possible applications include food inspection, material analysis and metal exploration. Pixels The number of effective pixels is 320 × 240, with a pixel pitch of 20 μm. And this can translate to different image sizes: 6.40 ...
Vision Components is presenting its VCSBC EvoCam at Embedded World 2026. For use in smart devices and industrial applications, the camera system runs on a MediaTek Genio 510 processor. Described as an “all-in-one intelligent board-level camera”, the idea is to ease configurability. Numerous image sensors can be individually adapted using interface boards. It measures 65 x 40 mm. And comes ...
Mikroe’s EnOcean 5 Click provides a bidirectional communication interface for EnOcean-based sensors, switches, and actuators. “This new Click board is ideal for developing energy-efficient dimmers, relays, and shutter controllers that rely on self-powered EnOcean switches,” says Mikroe CEO Nebijsa Matic, “it is part of our 260+ strong family of wireless connectivity Click boards and over 850 projects – with working ...
Danisense is extending the range of its DN1000ID current transducers with the DN1000ID-CP02 model. The high precision DC current transducer (DCCT) is capable of measuring currents up to 1500A, with continuous measurement of 1000A. This is with a linearity error of less than 1ppm, says the company. An over-range capability of 1200A RMS for up to 30 minutes is also ...
Allegro MicroSystems is introducing the ACS37017, a Hall effect current sensor targeting power converters, EVs, industrial motor control and clean energy systems. The device integrates a stable, non-ratiometric voltage reference, eliminating the need for external precision voltage reference components on the PCB, says Allegro. It highlights that this not only saves board space (and reduces BOM) but also removes a ...
By transforming performance data into actionable insights through edge processing, sports tracking solutions will help athletes, coaches and teams reach their full potential, says Thomas Søderholm. In today’s world of sport, the difference between winning and losing can come down to the finest of margins. Results are routinely decided by milliseconds, millimetres or blink-and-you-missed-it moments. Yet even precise metrics such ...
TDK is expanding its NTCSP series of NTC thermistor components with two new options. For temperature detection and temperature compensation, they are primarily aimed at automotive power modules. For example, applications such anti‑lock braking systems (ABS), transmissions, and engines. As mentioned, there are two further variations in the series: NTCSP163JF103FT1H and NTCSP164KF104FT1H. They differ on resistance and the B constant ...
