Wireless connectivity has become a mandatory requirement in many products, but it often increases the cost and complexity of system design since it generally needs to be incorporated into a larger application. Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced its first family of PIC microcontrollers based on the Arm Cortex®-M4F that overcomes this challenge of designing with wireless connectivity by integrating Bluetooth Low Energy directly into one of the most fundamental system components, all supported by one of the most comprehensive developer ecosystems on the market.

Yokogawa Test & Measurement announces that its WT5000 precision power analyzer was used by Solar Team Twente to win the first Solar Challenge Morocco. The WT5000 helped Solar Team Twente extract every last watt from their car's solar power system, ensuring they crossed the finish line of the 2,500 km course in first place.
Solar Team Twente is made up of aerodynamic, electrical, mechanical and structural engineers from the University of Twente and the Saxion University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands.

In manufacturing, standing still means certain to be overtaken. Factories need flexibility that allows them to continue increasing productivity and introducing new or improved products.
Manufacturers must constantly adapt to increase productivity and production output, ideally with minimal disruption to their processes. Some approaches, such as upgrading machinery or adding an extra production line, are only feasible infrequently. Between these major investments, it is essential to improve process setup and practices, such as changeover procedures, to increase efficiency.

In recent years, there has been some confusion surrounding the term "development board," as numerous other terms are used to describe software boards employed for design development, such as "demo boards," "evaluation kits," or "reference designs."
In this article, we will explain the meaning of "development board" (Figure 1) and see how these differ from the closest equivalent, single-board computers (SBCs). We will trace their evolution to the present day and discuss some trends to see how they may develop in the future.

They are tiny, but vitally important. The 8-bit microcontroller market continues to grow strongly as a fundamental part of the drive toward digitalization, which is evident in the current chip shortage. 8-bit devices are used in all kinds of applications, some in traditional spaces, but more often alongside 32-bit MCU-based systems to offload certain tasks and free up higher-level processors, as well as to increase energy efficiency.

A combination of environmental and economic concerns is encouraging more and more car owners to consider abandoning internal combustion engines in favor of electric vehicles (EVs). Recent figures published by Bloomberg New Energy Finance illustrate this point. It now predicts that global sales of plug-in electric passenger vehicles (just over 2 million annually in 2019) will reach a staggering 20.6 million by 2025.
