ROHM Semiconductor’s Sensor Platform Kit Giveaway

Giveaway ends in 28 days, 03 hours, 26 minutes and 57 seconds!

Overview

AAC is giving away 3 ROHM Semiconductor's Sensor Platform Kits in our February Giveaway to 3 lucky winners. See below for details and rules!
ROHM's Sensor Platform Kit (ROHM-SENSEKIT1-EVK-101/SENSEKIT2-EVK-101) is a low-cost way to quickly evaluate and test sensor products provided by ROHM. The kit consists of three main elements: a Sensor Platform Base Board, 6 Sensor Breakout Boards (Analog and Digital Ambient Light Sensors (ALS), Accelerometer + Magnetometer Combo Sensor, along with Hall, Temp, and UV Sensors) and a USB Battery* (used for standalone mode). Using these in combination allows for quick testing in the field or in the lab. In standalone mode, LEDs are used to visualize sensor output . And for detailed testing, the kit outputs precise readings from the sensor over the USB port for display and use on a PC.
