Future Electronics Offers the RL78/G14 Integrated Debugger & Wi-Fi Radio MCU Board from Renesas

Pointe Claire, Canada, May 16, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, announces availability of Renesas' RL78/G14 integrated debugger & Wi-Fi radio microcontroller board.

The RL78/G14 Demonstration Kit (YRDKRL78G14) is a powerful tool to evaluate Wi-Fi connected solutions that bridge several sensors (3D accelerometer, temperature, light and more) to the Internet through the low power, high-performance, 16-bit RL78G14 microcontroller - an "Internet of Things Demonstration Kit."

Sporting a low-power, 802.11b/g/n on-board Wi-Fi module, a digital 3D accelerometer, temperature sensor, light sensor and many more peripherals, you will be able to monitor x, y and z orientation of the board, light, temperature, switch status and potentiometer position, turn LEDs on and off and send messages to the on-board LCD from anywhere with just a few simple steps.

Using a free app, the user can monitor and control the board with a smartphone (iPhone or Android). In addition to point-to-point wireless connectivity, the RL78/G14 RDK provides two examples of cloud connectivity; this option allows the user to monitor/control the RDK from virtually anywhere in the world. The RL78G14RDK comes with all the tools needed to start developing your own solutions.
