Dev Kit Weekly: Adafruit PyRuler
The PyRuler is a fully featured microcontroller board from Adafruit that doubles as a six-inch-long PCB reference ruler. The board also includes four programmable capacitive touch buttons with corresponding LEDs that you can use to create anything from a Simon game to panic buttons for video calls.
On one end of the ruler, there’s an embedded Adafruit Trinket M0, a development board that’s built around a 48MHz ARM? Cortex?-M0+ based?ATSAMD21E18 microcontroller from Microchip. Additionally, the MCU itself offers 256KB of flash memory alongside 32KB of SRAM. Watch now.

The Endless Connection: LPWAN & Asset Tracking
From supply chain and agriculture to cold chain monitoring,?Research and Markets?reports that IoT adoption is on the rise. IoT-enabled asset tracking and monitoring is a fast-growing market that’s quickly gaining the attention of these verticals and many others.
The IoT makes operations smarter and more efficient. The data derived from IoT-enabled asset management tools provides greater visibility and combats challenges presented by manual processes.?For example, finding the closest wheelchair in a hospital or tracing where exactly a batch of vaccines went above the temperature threshold.
The availability of ultra-low power, cost-effective IoT devices is helping drive the growth of track and trace solutions. Low power, wide area networks (LPWAN) have emerged as a solution for many of these use cases as real-time location requirements are swapped for multi-year battery life. These networks are well-suited for asset management with their ability to transfer data across long distances while consuming minimal power.?
Geolocation solutions such as Semtech’s LoRa Edge? provide real-time indoor and outdoor location management for organizations that transport assets that pass through indoor locations such as factories and warehouses. Coupled with LPWAN, IoT-enabled devices with both indoor & outdoor geolocation capabilities can locate, track, and monitor physical assets throughout their lifecycle. Read more.
