Mouser Electronics, Inc. announces a global distribution agreement with DFRobot, a leading provider of robotics and open-source hardware. The agreement brings DFRobot's robotics and maker-focused products to Mouser's growing open-source product line. The DFRobot product line available at Mouser Electronics focuses on the Gravity Series Plug-and-Play Toolkit and the LattePanda single-board computer. The open-source Gravity Series offers an easy-to-use prototyping platform for applications ranging from smart home and robotics to industrial manufacturing and environmental monitoring. Gravity Series boards and modules feature color-coded pin headers and reversible three-pin interfaces, allowing users of any skill level to easily connect, mix, and develop projects compatible with Arduino and other platforms.
Mouser stores a wide variety of gravity sensors and physical modules, including light, temperature, and gas sensors; an infrared (IR) receiver; a line-following sensor; and an analog fire sensor. To connect multiple sensors to an Arduino board, users can connect the IO Expansion Shield to the headers of an Arduino UNO R3 (or compatible) board.
The Gravity Arduino Starter Kit is a plug-and-play electronics toolkit that helps beginners easily learn how to work with sensors and the Arduino platform. The kit includes a DFRduino UNO R3 microcontroller, which functions exactly like an Arduino UNO, and 12 popular Gravity components and sensors. The 27-piece Gravity Sensor Kit for Arduino offers a robust selection of sensors that are fully compatible with the Arduino platform. The kit includes a bundle of the most popular DFRobot Gravity sensors, including light, CO2, sound, touch, and distance sensors, as well as an accelerometer and a relay module. Both the Starter Kit and the Sensor Kit use the IO Expansion Shield to connect sensors to the Arduino board.
LattePanda is a robust single-board computer that combines Windows 10 with an Arduino-compatible coprocessor for physics computing. The board is based on the quad-core Intel® Atom™ Z8350 processor, which runs at up to 1.92 GHz, and is also compatible with Linux and Android. LattePanda allows developers to run powerful tools such as Visual Studio, NodeJS, Java, and Processing, and provides APIs for developing software and hardware projects in C#, JavaScript, Ruby, and more.
