Raspberry Pi MATRIX Creator add-on to boost IoT device development
Premier Farnell has announced an exclusive collaboration with MATRIX Labs to manufacture and distribute MATRIX Creator to a global network of developers and manufacturers with varying levels of expertise. MATRIX Creator is a Raspberry Pi add-on that offers a range of features and enables the rapid and cost-effective development of IoT devices.
MATRIX Creator is ideal for developing applications in automation control systems, especially for home automation systems that include optical and audio elements, as well as robotics, business logistics, voice assistants, continuous wave beam algorithms and DoA, and business intelligence. For example, the microphone array allows users to develop their own projects based on Amazon Echo and Alexa or create voice recognition systems, thanks to its eight microphones, which enable device activation from anywhere in the room. A similar approach is taken with the optical and physical sensors, which allow the development of facial recognition and motion detection devices for security applications.
MATRIX Creator is an ideal complement for teaching beginners about hardware development and offers expert users a highly versatile hardware element to add to their development tools. In addition to reducing overall costs, it accelerates the prototyping process for new products and devices, thus taking a significant burden off developers at the beginning of the process.
The development board, designed for Raspberry Pi, incorporates a Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA; an ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller; a range of sensors for motion, temperature, light, humidity, and ultraviolet and infrared light; an array of 8 microphones; and a matrix of 35 LEDs.
In addition to being programmable in 40 different languages, it also incorporates built-in Z-Wave and Zigbee communications, along with connectivity through a wide variety of analog and digital input/output interfaces. It can also be used as a standalone device thanks to its integrated processor.
