Rapid prototyping is a vital first element to get your next IoT design into the real world. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Brad Rex from Renesas and Amelia Dalton examine Renesas’ new Quick Connect IoT out of the box IoT solution that combines well-defined API and middleware with certified module solutions to make rapid prototyping faster and easier than ever before. They also investigate how the Quick Connect IoT integrated software can help MCUs, sensors and connectivity devices communicate effectively and how you can get started using Quick-Connect IoT for your next IoT design.

There are a bewildering number of choices when designing with an MCU. It can be a challenge to find one with exactly what your design requires - form factor, cost, power consumption, performance, features, and ease-of-use. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Brad Rex of Renesas about the small-but-powerful Renesas RA family - a flexible and scalable collection of MCUs that may be exactly what your next project needs.

Adding Bluetooth to your embedded design can be tricky for IoT developers. Bluetooth 5 brings a host of new capabilities that make Bluetooth integration more compelling than ever. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Michael Sarpa from Renesas about the cool capabilities of Bluetooth 5, and how you can easily integrate them into your next project.

Implementing wireless connectivity for your IoT design can be a serious engineering challenge. Bridging the gap between your edge device and the cloud involves navigating a labyrinth of wireless and network technologies that can create serious headaches for design teams. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Jason Chien of Renesas about using the Renesas Synergy AE-CLOUD2 Development Kit to dramatically simplify your global LTE-connected IoT design.
