The show will take place in Anaheim, US, this year, after a first successful edition in Austin, TX.

The TeleCANesis lean middleware platform lets developers address trends in sectors such as healthcare, smart industry, communications, and e-mobility. Embedded devices in these industries now typically demand complex distributed systems comprising multi-channel sensing, edge computing, gateways, and cloud services. Connecting the domains to capture, process, store, and analyze data, and communicate with actuators and HMIs, involves more than mere protocol translation to handle the different data formats, timing requirements, security, safety, and other issues. Conventional approaches call for intimate engagement with the different communication standards and even a simple application can involve writing tens of thousands of lines of code, which can add several months to a project. TeleCANesis now offers an alternative.

“The TeleCANesis framework builds on our own experience in embedded projects, tackling the same connectivity issues and facing the same coding challenges again and again,” said Jonathan Hacker, TeleCANesis Founder and CTO. “Developers facing these issues can now get to market faster and cut their development costs by up to 70 percent with TeleCANesis’ tools and support. Embedded World visitors can find out how by coming to our booth, 2062, any time during the show or, better still, arranging an appointment in advance.”

The event will feature live demonstrations of TeleCANesis running on the NXP i.MX 95 using QNX and DiSTI GL Studio, as well as on a Toradex i.MX 8 Yavia board using Linux and Slint. Additionally, an Ottawa Infotainment DragonFire Pro buck will be showcased, leveraging Crank Storyboard for its HMI capabilities, and TeleCANesis for connectivity.

With TeleCANesis, developers can design robust distributed systems and use automated code generation to bring them up quickly. Its powerful runtime core abstracts the complexity of connectivity, simplifying system integration. TeleCANesis supports a wide range of hardware buses, including—CAN, GPIO, and Modbus—and protocols like MQTT, ZeroMQ, and REST, with flexible data formats (JSON, BSON, CAN, RAW, and more). It also integrates seamlessly with HMI environments such as Crank Storyboard, DiSTI GL Studio, Slint, and Unity.

Flir is inviting developers to compete in its annual Hackathon App Challenge and win a cash prize https://www.electronicsworld.co.uk/flir-is-inviting-developers-to-compete-in-its-annual-hackathon-app-challenge-and-win-a-cash-prize/39712/ Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:09:32 +0000 https://www.electronicsworld.co.uk/?p=39712 Coinciding with the introduction of Flir’s iXX-Series app-enabled thermal camera, which cuts workflow steps and reporting time by up to 50%, the Flir Hackathon App Challenge 2025 is now open.

Developers with ideas on how to revolutionise industries with new thermography apps can win up to $5,000 in cash, as well as Flir thermal cameras.

The global call is out for developers to create innovative Android apps using the Flir ACE SDK (Software Development Kit). Flir’s Hackathon App Challenge is an opportunity to harness thermal imaging for real-world impact, presenting coders, engineers, and creative thinkers with a chance to win big while overcoming genuine industry challenges. The idea is to build game-changing apps for sectors that include industrial condition monitoring, building diagnostics, or indeed any kind of ‘wildcard’ application the imagination conjures.

For industrial condition monitoring, innovative apps are required that facilitate the use of thermal imaging to keep power flowing and machines running – negating downtime that can cost thousands of dollars every minute. With a well-executed condition monitoring program, inspectors are able to locate and diagnose early failure signs in machines or electrical systems, prompting targeted and efficient rectification. An app idea here might include collecting and annotating the temperature of electrical components, and suggesting actions based on trends.

For building diagnostics and energy efficiency, apps can help maintain the health of a facility. Inspectors use thermal cameras to detect issues such as missing or defective insulation, moisture build-up, water infiltration, inefficient HVAC systems, and air leaks. Documenting and reporting issues is key for this industry as it deals with insurance companies and other stakeholders. How about developing an app that allows inspectors to collect data and easily report issues to building owners and insurance companies?

The 2025 Flir Hackathon App Challenge is about more than apps alone – it is about building directly into the Flir ACE platform that powers the new iXX-Series cameras (i34, i64, i35, and i65). The code runs directly on the camera, creating customized inspection workflows and tools. With built-in LTE and cloud connectivity, apps securely share thermal data and reports from the field, without Wi-Fi access.

By developing apps for Flir ACE, entrants to the Flir Hackathon App Challenge 2025 could be shaping how technicians around the world capture, analyse and act on thermal data in real time. It represents a chance to code the future of inspections by giving users a ‘sixth sense’.

Places are limited, so applicants are advised to register as soon as possible. The official deadline is 29 December 2025. Following idea submission, competition applicants can participate in the ‘Kick-off Webinar’ to learn more about the challenge and how to make their idea stand out. The opportunity also exists to team up with Flir experts and industry leaders to help develop the project.

Further details and registration are available at https://Flir.kreativdistrikt.com/

Latest Pulsonix EDA software, now with integrated SPICE simulation and 3D visualisation enhancements https://www.electronicsworld.co.uk/latest-pulsonix-eda-software-now-with-integrated-spice-simulation-and-3d-visualisation-enhancements/39699/ Wed, 08 Oct 2025 15:21:39 +0000 https://www.electronicsworld.co.uk/?p=39699 Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company, Pulsonix, introduces latest PCB design software platform, Pulsonix 14.0. The update strengthens simulation and brings significant enhancements in mechanical-electrical 3D integration, smarter comparison tools and enhanced usability features – providing engineers with high-performance tools to meet the demands of increasingly complex electronics systems.

Among the key enhancements are:

PulsonixSim – Fully Integrated ngspice-based Simulator
Pulsonix 14 introduces PulsonixSim, the new simulation option is built on the ngspice engine and tightly integrated into the Pulsonix schematic environment. It allows designers to attach models, place stimuli and run mixed-mode SPICE analysis, including transient, AC, DC, Monte Carlo, noise, transfer functions, and more – all without leaving the design environment and utilising the same library used for design and PCB layout. Simulation results can be plotted to full screen graph windows or local ‘in-design’ graphs.

3D Flexi Bend & Clipping Plane Enhancements
A new “lift-off” state for Flexi bend regions allows the flexible portion of the board to originate inside existing boundaries rather than exiting the board edge. The bend region transforms adaptively based on bend-radius parameters.

Additionally, a 3D clipping plane feature lets users selectively hide parts of the design along X, Y or Z axes (and reverse clipping direction) to inspect internal layers or buried elements more effectively.

Interactive HTML BOM & Graphical Comparison Tools
Pulsonix 14.0 supports the Interactive HTML BOM option that exports design and BOM data into a searchable, browser-friendly HTML format.

The Symbol / Footprint Compare and Design Revision Analyser tools highlight differences between design versions or symbols, either in dialog view or using overlaid graphics with dimming/lowlighting.

Usability Upgrades & Window Workflow
The user interface sees multiple enhancements: tear-off windows, dock bars, “find in dialog grids,” and faster category switching to streamline navigation and reduce friction when working with large designs or complex dialogs.

Circular Hatching Style
Pulsonix 14 adds a circular hatching style alongside traditional linear hatching. Circular hatching reduces sharp corner effects during etching, which helps minimise impedance variation for tracks adjacent to hatched copper zones

Major Update to Scripting and Automation
Version 14.0 replaces the legacy ActiveX automation system with a completely re-engineered, modern scripting framework developed in-house by Pulsonix. The new scripting environment provides greater flexibility, improved security, faster execution, and direct access to more Pulsonix objects and functions. Users can now automate complex design operations, customise workflows, and build bespoke productivity tools using industry-standard scripting languages.

Vault Integration & Version Control Enhancements
Vault improvements in Version 14 include visual thumbnail previews of items, “synchronise selected items” folder path alignment, definable permissions, Spice Model and Formal files in Vault and type-specific revision naming schemes – helping design teams maintain data integrity and traceability.

Pulsonix Version 14.0 is available now. Learn more about the new features and enhancements, by visiting www.pulsonix.com/latestversion
