element14 Community launches global LED design challenge with Würth Elektronik
Participants encouraged to showcase creativity with WL-ICLED technology e
lement14, an Avnet Community, has launched a new global design challenge in collaboration with Würth Elektronik. This new competition invites engineers, makers and hobbyists to develop a prototype or test rig using Würth Elektronik’s cutting-edge SMD LEDs with Integrated WL-ICLED Controller.
The challenge encourages
participants to demonstrate the WL- ICLED Controller’s capabilities through applications such as:
• Home appliances • Industrial control systems • Smart lighting • Gaming peripherals • Decorative lighting • systems
Ten applicants will be selected to receive a free design kit, including a variety of Würth Elektronik WL-
ICLEDs, an Arduino Zero, a power supply, and additional accessories to support their builds. All challengers must incorporate WL-ICLED technology into their project and document their progress through a series of blog posts.
Applications are open now through 8 August. Selected participants will have until 26 October to complete their projects, with winners announced shortly after.
creativity, technical execution, and effective use of the controller’s features.

High Density Intelligent PDU with Innovative 4-in-1 Outlets
• G5 iPDU offers 4-in-1 Outlets increasing density and reliability, protects data and equipment
• Locking power cords reduces human error accidental disconnects
• Wide power capabilities ranging from 8.6 kW to 43.5 kW with 42 – 48 outlets
P
anduit has launched the SmartZone intelligent Power Distribution Unit (PDU) 4-in-1 Outlets, a breakthrough device offering best-in-class outlet density coupled with superior reliability. Data centres house complex infrastructure and require
greater versatility in the power distribution unit and energy monitoring devices. The G5 iPDU 4-in-1 Outlets monitor the data centre’s power and environment by continuously scanning for electrical circuit overloads and physical environment conditions that place critical IT equipment at risk.
The G5 iPDU 4-in-1 Outlets offers the ultimate in design to provide customers the ability to use a single outlet as either a C13/C15 or a C13/C15/C19/C21. It also supports C15/C21 high temperature rating power cords.

or professional-quality measurement products usable on the Raspberry Pi® platform, Digilent offers a series of DAQ HATs. These HATs, developed by MCC, offer similar specs and accuracy as traditional higher-priced USB and Ethernet-based DAQ products from MCC but still boast resolution up to 24-bits and sample rates up to 100 kS/s.
Measurement applications that conform to the Raspberry Pi HAT standard: Voltage Measurement on the MCC 118/128, Thermocouple Measurement with the MCC 134, Output and DIO on the MCC152, and lastly IEPE Measurement with the 172. These devices provide data acquisition features like analog and digital I/O in a small, stackable format.
