(Fish) Fryin’ The Senses

Artificial Compound Eyes, Touchscreens, and Scented SMS

We’re attacking your senses this week. Yep, we’re coming on like last week’s cold and we’re taking no prisoners. OK, that’s not really true… but this week’s Fish Fry is exploring several recent sensory-related technological breakthroughs in the world of electronic design. First, we’re talking about one of the newest advances in artificial compound eye technology and explaining how it could kick up the vision performance on your next robot project. Next, we’re checking out the newest advances in low-power touchscreen microcontrollers, and finally we are investigating how one perfume company in Japan is looking to add a fourth dimension to our smartphone text notifications.

I’ve got a Freescale I.MX6Q Sabre Lite Board to give away to one lucky listener courtesy of newark element14 this week! Head on over to element14.com/fishfry to enter to win.

Industrial Drives and Pumps -- onsemi and Mouser Electronics
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and onsemi
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Bob Card and Hunter Freberg from onsemi discuss the benefits that variable frequency drive, semiconductor optimization, and power switch innovation can bring to industrial motor drive applications. They also examine how our choice of isolation solutions and power packages can make a big difference for these kinds of applications and how onsemi’s robust portfolio of intelligent power modules, current sensing solutions and gate drivers are a game changer when it comes to industrial motor drive applications.
