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:

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.
