PRODUCT SHOWCASE New “WT” Soldering Station range from Weller The powerful new generation Weller WT101AU soldering station is claimed to be innovative, easy to use and highly cost-effective, combining the low cost of a passive soldering system with the design and ergonomics of an active one. With the new lightweight and thin 90W soldering iron, Weller is presenting the world’s first active soldering system with replaceable, passive, high performance soldering tips. It features a soft rubber grip and thin silicone cable. Multiple stations can be stacked on top of one another saving vital desk space. The display boasts a new inclined design offering a more natural viewing angle and features clearly arranged graphics which make it possible to understand setting parameters at a glance. The control panel on the front is distinctive and offers an uncluttered and particularly clear design. All of the impor- Mouser Electronics Now Shipping New Arduino Uno WiFi Rev 2 Novus LogBox 3G IoT data logger Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now shipping the highly anticipated Uno WiFi Rev 2 from Arduino. The first AVRbased, natively-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) board from Arduino, the Uno WiFi Rev 2 board integrates an 8-bit microcontroller, WiFi module, sensors, and hardwarebased security in the familiar Uno Rev 3 form factor. The new board addresses the wireless connectivity and low power demands of the growing IoT market. The Arduino Uno WiFi Rev 2 is based on the new Microchip Technology ATmega4809 megaAVR microcontroller. The ATmega4809 offers Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) and an integrated high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with voltage reference for faster conversion of analog signals. The microcontroller also provides more memory than on previous Uno boards, boasting 48 kBytes of flash and 6 kBytes of RAM, plus three UARTs to enable communication with more than one RF module. It includes a u-blox NINA-W13 module with integrated TCP/ IP protocol stack to provide 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity enabling access to a Wi-Fi network or for use as an access point. The board also features support for over-the-air (OTA) programming for transfer of Arduino sketches or Wi-Fi firmware. Wireless security is provided by a Microchip ECC608 CryptoAuthentication IC, which combines hardware-based key storage with hardware cryptographic accelerators to implement authentication and encryption protocols. Other features include onboard debugging, inertial measurement unit (IMU) with 3-axis accelerom- Contact: eter and 3-axis gyroscope, 14 dig- Mouser Electronics ital input/output pins (five PWM Web: www.mouser.com/ arduino-uno-wifi-rev2 outputs) and six analog inputs. siliconchip.com.au tant operating elements are placed on the front.

Web: apextoolgroup.com.au The new Novus LogBox 3G is an Internet of Things device with an integrated data logger and 3G mobile connectivity. This allows it to be a remote telemetry or mobile monitoring solution. Data can be accessed remotely and centrally through a SCADA application or using the free NXperience software. The device has two universal analog inputs that accept a wide range of sensors (thermocouples, RTD, 4-20mA and 0-10V). It also has internal sensors for measuring temperature, battery voltage and external sources. In addition, LogBox 3G has SMS alarm commands and alerts. Novus provides a free cloud service. To use it integrated with the cloud or SCADA software, the user only needs to fill in a few fields such as login and access password through the NOVUS IoT platform, identify the device and the desired channel. Data from the Logbox can be downloaded or configuration carried out by a PC using the free NXperience software. Memory capacity is 140,000 records.
