$47.95 Microchip MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer

Posted by Charbax – August 9, 2018
Category: Development Boards, Exclusive videos, Embedded World, Microchip

Microchip Technology MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer allows for fast debugging and programming of PIC and dsPIC flash microcontrollers. The MPLAB PICkit uses the powerful MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) graphical user interface. Connect the MPLAB PICkit 4 to a PC using a high-speed 2.0 USB interface and to the target via a Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector. The connector uses two device I/O pins and the reset line to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial Programming. An additional micro SD card slot and the ability to be self-powered from the target means you can take and program your code on the go.

The MPLAB PICkit 4 can program faster than its predecessor and supports PIC and dsPIC MCU devices, along with a wider target voltage. The PICkit 4 supports advanced interfaces like 4-wire JTAG and Serial Wire Debug with streaming Data Gateway. The PICkit 4 is backward compatible for demo boards, headers and target systems using 2-wire JTAG and ICSP. The PICkit 4 also has a unique programmer-to-go function with the addition of a micro SD card slot to hold project code and the ability to be powered by the target board.

Marcus Taylor, CEO of Silent Sensors (http://silentsensors.com) demonstrates their Energy Harvesting and RFID products for use in rubbers elastomers and polymers, with a special focus on tires. Tires, first and foremost, are safety products. About 20% of all accidents on the road are caused by underinflated tires. Underinflated tires also translate into increased fuel consumption and increased tire wear. All the components they use have to be automotive grade.

At the IDTechEx Show! Europe, Silent Sensors introduced a new supercapacitor that is very flexible and able to withstand high temperatures, which is necessary for tire manufacture and production.

Ares Materials PolyLux Polysulfide Polymers for Flexible Electronics

Posted by stromium – August 1, 2018
Category: Exclusive videos, IDTechEx

Ares Materials Inc (http://aresmaterials.com) develops transparent polysulfide polymer named PyLux for flexible displays, wearable and embedded electronics. They are transparent and easily adaptable and processable and available in 4 product lines- H, MF, W & ATB. The high transparency, low colour,ultra-low birefringence and low haze of Pylux films allow for clear and high-fidelity transmission of light directly through the polymer. This allows Pylux to be incorporated into the optical path of flexible display manufacturing thus reducing the manufacturing cost.

  • PyLux-W: act as a combined optically clear adhesive (OCA) and anti-shock protection layer, replacing two layers in the front-plane of display with one.
  • PyLux-MF: designed as substrates for microfabrication of thin-film components at temperatures up to        300 °C, blending excellent thermal stability, chemical compatibility and optical clarity.
  • PyLux-H: an ideal polymer for flexible cover lens and flexible touch panel substrate as it has high surface hardness and increased glass transition temperature.
  • PyLux-ATB: offers a low-cost, high-yield (peel-off) release method for a variety of polymer films that require attachment to a rigid carrier for microfabrication processing and it withstands upto 500oC.

Category: Power Banks, Exclusive videos, IDTechEx

BroadBit has developed a novel low-cost, high-performance, robust, eco-friendly, scalable sodium chloride (table salt) battery technology. BroadBit is commercializing the technology for applications in electric vehicles, portable electronics and grid stabilization. In addition to sodium chloride, the other key ingredients of the battery are cheap and abundant silicon oxide (sand), carbon (coal) and sulfur (waste product of petrolium refining). BroadBit believes that, with its innovations, it can grow the rechargeable battery market from today’s 60B$ to greater than 1T$ in the coming decade.

Compared to Li-ion, BroadBit offers:
– 50% higher energy stored per unit cost
– 25% higher energy per unit weight
– Better environmental friendliness, scalability and sustainability
– Simpler manufacturing than Lithium-ion (fewer steps, no need for inert environment)
– Higher Safety (no flammable electrolyte and reduced risk of shorting)
– Improved robustness:
– can withstand rapid temperature cycling between -20 and +60 C,
– can be repeatedly fully discharged and restarted without damage,
– can be safely overcharged without explosion or damage and
– are non-flamable
