“The Knode is such a fantastic resource for anyone working in electronics engineering or design and a place that many in our industry have come to rely on,” said David Shen, Group Chief Technology Officer, element14.

“We have integrated the innovative Coocox Integrated Development Suite onto the Knode to provide yet another open source design environment for design engineers and make it as easy as possible for them to write, compile, debug and test their designs faster and more efficiently.”

Found within the element14 community, the improvements to the Knode now make it even easier to connect with manufacturers, industry experts, fellow engineers and access technical videos, webinars, documents to solve real design challenges. The overall advantage is to help design engineers improve time to market.
