Arduino and Truesense Partner to Bring UWB Technology to Millions

Arduino announced its latest partnership with Truesense, a leading provider of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, known for its innovative software and hardware solutions for developers. This collaboration enhances the Arduino ecosystem of hardware products, software solutions, and cloud services, providing developers with a new valuable set of tools, focused on delivering highly accurate real-time location systems and tracking solutions.

Syntiant unveiled its TinyML Development Board, an easy-to-use developer kit aimed at both technical and non-technical users for building machine learning-powered applications in smart products, such as speech commands, wake word detection, acoustic event detection and other sensor use cases. The new machine learning development board allows developers to build low-power voice, audio and sensor applications using Edge Impulse’s Embedded ML platform.

NXP Semiconductors has announced that it now offers beta Ultra-Wideband (UWB) development tools from its NXP Trimension portfolio that interoperate with the U1 chip in supported Apple products. The beta development tools will allow developers to kick-start the design of innovative applications that interact with UWB enabled Apple products including iPhone and Apple Watch, unleashing the ability to create more precise, directionally aware app experiences.

OKdo, the new brand that is now part of the Electrocomponents Group (RS, Allied, DesignSpark), introduced its first own-branded single board computer (SBC), the E1. The E1 board features an NXP LPC55S69 microcontroller, which offers a high-performance, secure low-cost entry to the development of connected devices, and represents the start of the next phase in the company's evolution towards providing an accessible range of software, hardware, services and solutions.

Implementing rich graphical user interfaces with touch panel color displays for wireless control doesn't have to be complicated. At Embedded World 2017, in Nuremberg, Germany, 4D Systems has introduced its gen4 Internet of Displays (IoD) series with resistive touch. Featuring integrated WiFi capabilities, the display modules allow users to quickly and easily create GUI (graphical user interface) applications with wireless connectivity.
