element14 to launch the latest development kits, Raspberry Pi accessories and Eagle at CeBIT

element14 (formerly Farnell), together with some of its suppliers such as Freescale, Tektronix and Raspberry Pi, will present the latest products for applications in communications, wireless, sensing and industrial automation at CeBIT 2013 from 28-30 May in Sydney.

The products include the Beaglebone Black, Freescale Freedom Board, Arduino-compatible Cookie board, Raspberry Pi and its accessories, Tektronix MSO/DSOs and version 6.4 of the PCB software Cadsoft Eagle.

The newest products from element14’s locally stocked warehouse are available for immediate dispatch for fast delivery throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Visitors to element14’s booth (V78) at Hall 5, Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour, are invited to discuss with tech experts the much anticipated newest member of the BeagleBone family. The BeagleBone Black development platform, based on TI’s Sitara AM3358 processor, features an ARM Cortex-A8 processor running at 1 GHz and an onboard HDMI, and delivers double the memory. 

Visitors can also get a hands-on experience of Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB and its latest accessories - the camera board and Embedded Pi. Take pictures and video with the Raspberry Pi camera board, which can also be used for security and VoIP projects, featuring a 5 MP native resolution sensor and supporting 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p60/90 video.

In addition, the triple-play Embedded Pi platform bridges the popular design worlds of Raspberry Pi, Arduino and 32-bit embedded ARM. It features a STMicroelectronics STM32F103 microcontroller and users can download CooCox development tools, an ARM development tool environment for Cortex-M MCU.

CadSoft Eagle Version 6.4 includes a series of new interoperability features and improved design simulation and modelling to further extend the appeal of this easy-to-use PCB software for professional board design. Additions include an LT-Spice connection, allowing engineers to import and simulate LT-Spice schematics into EAGLE and vice versa. Version 6.4 also delivers an improved user interface, control panel, display and search function, making the software easier to use and contributing to increasing design productivity.
