Mouser Electronics has launched a community website for design engineers with the MultiSIM BLUE free PCB design tool, developed by National Instruments, at its heart. The distributors demonstrated their latest software and downloadable tools at the exhibition last week. “Software download is a challenge for distributors, but it is a necessary capability.” “We see it as supporting the engineer in different ways, but it won’t come overnight,” said Maggs. The ultimate goal is the application software, which will allow them to see complete reference designs ‘off-the-shelf’. Today they are selling PCB design tools, the OS and assorted firmware. “There is a lot more for us than being just a one-stop-shop for components,” said Graham Maggs, European marketing director at Mouser.īuilding a software business is not a simple task for the distributors. It will help designers match the OS and firmware with specific MCUs and vice-versa,” said Mike Powell Technical Development Manager at Farnell element14. “It is an extension of what we have offered in the past. Farnell element1 4 will be selling its software and tools, including CadSoft Eagle, via a new web portal in 2015.
