Today on New Product Discoveries I have an Exciter from PUI Audio and the micro:bit educational development board from Pimoroni.

PUI Audio has traditionally been known for their speaker products. Today, we are presenting a product called an Exciter (ASX08808-TP-R). Similar to a speaker, an Exciter is a voice coil that is made to be mounted on a hard surface. The inherent dynamic quality of the surface in which the Exciter is mounted is what affects the emitted frequency color. The advantage of an Exciter over a traditional speaker is that sound is emitted in a planar fashion. This means the emitted sound waves are more easily picked up without having to be directly in front of the Exciter.

Another product I would like to discuss is the micro:bit educational board from Pimoroni. Pimoroni is well known for their offering of educational tools and kits – the micro:bit is no different. The micro:bit prototyping kit comes with all the required accessories to get you creating micro:bit projects with ease. The micro:bit is programmed through a graphical form which lends itself to teaching children microprocessor programming. There are a few different micro:bit kits available, and the board alone can be purchased as well – all on digikey.com.

Thank you for listening!
