February 18, 2025 –  Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components™, is introducing its comprehensive  hardware projects resource center, empowering engineers to design and build innovative physical solutions from the ground up. With the availability of open-source architectures like  RISC-V and advanced components such as microcontrollers,  sensors, and actuators, creating custom hardware tailored to specific needs has become more accessible than ever. Engineers can now undertake a wide range of projects, from building  home automation systems and weather stations to designing  robots and  wearable devices. These projects are among those featured:

The  Smart Edge ML with NXP FRDM-MCXN947 project brings machine-learning capabilities to edge devices. By shifting computations to local devices, this project aims to address latency, privacy, and bandwidth concerns, enabling real-time insights. The  MCX N Series FRDM development boards by  NXP are utilized for this project as cost-effective, compact, and scalable boards powered by MCUXpresso to provide a rapid prototyping platform.

The  Mastering Multi-Axis Robotics project guides users through the configuration and control of a robotic arm using the  Kria KR260 robotics starter kit from  AMD. The KR260 kit is specifically designed for robotics and machine vision, targeting factory automation, communication, control, and vision tasks.

The project  Neighbors Helping Neighbors discusses how using products most consumers already own, such as Amazon Echo and Ring, can provide and extend low-bandwidth, long-range wireless network technology outside of the home, revolutionizing the concept of a smart home and a smart neighborhood. The project uses the  Pro Kit for Amazon Sidewalk from  Silicon Labs, which comes pre-programmed with Amazon Sidewalk firmware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) pre-registration, instantly and securely connecting users in a few minutes.

The  Enhancing Real-World Applications with Time-of-Flight (ToF) Sensors project explores the use of ToF sensors for quick and accurate distance measurements, which can improve capabilities in fields like robotics, augmented reality, and automotive. The project utilizes the  TMF8821-SHIELD sensor development board from  ams OSRAM, an Arduino-compatible platform for evaluating the TMF8821 multi-zone dToF sensor. It is designed to work with various MCU hardware platforms. Additionally, the project employs the  LPCXpresso55S69 development board from NXP, which is fully supported by the MCUXpresso tool suite for rapid development and configuration.
