IP67-rated Helios SK51 CAN Keypad adds five programmable RGB tactile buttons to CAN Bus applications

Helios SK1 CAN Keyboard

Helios SK51 CAN Keypad is a waterproof (IP67-rated) keypad connected over CAN Bus with five tactile silicone buttons and LED backlighting. Each button is fully programmable and offers a 24-bit RGB color option. In some ways, it reminds me of the T-Keyboard-S3-Pro mechanical keypad, but instead of relying on USB, the SK51 CAN Keypad works over a CAN Bus compliant with the SAE J1939 standard, and it’s designed for more demanding environments. Helios SK51 specifications 5x programmable buttons with integrated display, each with a status LED on top. CAN protocols SAE J1939 compatible protocol Transmit – Button status on press/release or 1s interval Receive Simple Mode: Set backlight & status LED colors, brightness, and flash Full RGB: 24-bit RGB per LED (16.7 million colors) CAN Termination – Not Fitted USB – USB-C for firmware update Supply Voltage –  6 to 35 VDC Power Consumption – 5 to 200mA, depending on […]

Zalmotek RA6M1, RA8M1, and RZ/A3U SoMs follow Adafruit Feather form factor, support carrier board for robotics and industrial control

Zalmotek RZ A3UL, RA8M1, and RA6M1 SoM

Romanian company Zalmotek has recently introduced three new SoMs, the RA6M1, RA8M1, and RZ/A3UL, and a modular carrier board designed for embedded applications such as robotics, industrial control, and edge computing. There are a few things that I find interesting about this setup. The SoM comes in Adafruit Feather form factor and, as a result, supports various Adafruit FeatherWings. The modular carrier board supports the Dynamixel motor driver module, the Particle M-SoM breakout module, Ethernet, and CAN modules. The RA6M1 Feather SoM is powered by a Renesas RA6M1 Arm Cortex-M4 CPU at up to 120 MHz, with 512 KB flash and 96 KB SRAM while the RA8M1 Feather SoM features a Renesas RA8M1 64-bit Arm Cortex-M85 running at up to 360 MHz with 128 Mbit SPI flash, the RZ/A3UL Feather SoM is based on a Renesas RZ/A3UL 64-bit Arm Cortex-A55 CPU at up to 1 GHz, with 512 Mbit OctaFlash […]

STMicro expands the STM32C0 Cortex-M0+ MCU family with STM32C051, STM32C091, and STM32C092 (with CAN FD)

STMicro Nucleo-64 board with STM32C092RC MCU

STMicro first introduced the STM32C0 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ MCU family as an 8-bit MCU killer in 2023, followed by the STM32C071 adding USB FS and designed for appliances with graphical user interfaces (GUI). The company has now added three new parts with the STM32C051, STM32C091, and STM32C092. The STM32C051 is similar to the original STM32C031 but adds more storage (64KB vs 32KB) and is offered in packages with up to 48 pins, while the STM32C09x parts offer flash densities up to 256 KB in packages up to 64 pins, and the STM32C092 also gains a CAN FD interface. The STM32C09x parts can be seen as an update to the STM32C071 where more flash memory is needed. That’s 30 new SKUs bringing the total to 55 when different packages and flash memory size/RAM size options are taken into account. The STM32C051 offers the same maximal amount of SRAM as the STM32C031 […]
