Industry experts discuss prototyping with purpose

Mouser has released Prototyping with Purpose, the second eBook from Engineering Big Ideas, the most recent series in the company's Empowering Innovation Together program. In the new eBook, experts from the company and the electronics industry step through the design process, talking tools, software methodology, circuit design, and the concluding integration into a solid prototype.

“The prototype stage is where innovators really start to understand the viability of their ideas, as well as what might be required in the final product,” said Kevin Hess, senior vice president, Marketing at Mouser Electronics. “This new Engineering Big Ideas eBook ties in well with the latest video in the series, in which Grant Imahara and Arduino CTO Massimo Banzi talk about the importance of prototyping in the innovation-to-productization process.”

The new eBook comprises in-depth articles from tech experts like 'Wizard of Make' and Senior Staff Engineer at Microchip Technology, Bob Martin, who looks at the hardware, spaces, and software perfect for successful prototyping. Special contributions to the new eBook also incorporate an exploration of the proof-of-concept stage by Dr Andy Stanford-Clark, CTO of IBM in UK and Ireland, and best practices for developing embedded software by Magic Leap software engineer Akash Gujarati.

The series is supported by the company's valued suppliers Analog Devices, Intel, Microchip Technology and Molex.
