Brad Martin , VueReal | bmartin@vuereal.com   MicroLEDs promise to reshape the future of displays and lighting - with higher brightness, lower power consumption, and longer lifespans than OLEDs. But for most innovators, that promise has remained just out of reach. Not due to lack of ideas or demand, but because of one persistent barrier: access.   That’s now starting to change, thanks to the arrival of Reference Design Kits (RDKs): pre-integrated microLED modules that empower engineers, designers, and developers to prototype and experiment - without custom fabrication, high-volume commitments, or massive investment. By dramatically lowering the barrier to entry and leveraging flexible manufacturing methods, RDKs are unlocking a new era of innovation - accelerating both the pace of discovery and the path to mass adoption. We are Exhibiting! Visit our booth at the MicroLED Connect & AR/VR Connect in Eindhoven on 24-25 September 2025 The Real Bottleneck: Access, Not Imagination Unlike OLED panels - which are widely available for prototyping and development - microLEDs have historically been locked behind technical and supply chain hurdles. Most companies simply can’t get their hands on the technology. Traditional microLED manufacturing typically requires highly specialized equipment, high-volume commitments, and extensive engineering integration, putting it out of reach for the majority of companies.   Even those who want to explore microLEDs in earnest are left to imagine ...

Prototyping robotics offers great potential in electronics education, providing a fun way to learn about sensors and motion control. Building a line-following robot can be both educational and practical, with applications in automated delivery systems and robot racing competitions.

Visit our booth at the TechBlick Berlin on 22-23 October 2025 Project overview Purpose The goal of this project was to prototype a circuit board that controls a line-following robot, using a simple design that could be used to teach electronics in a hands-on way. Design For the control board, we separated the ground traces and other signal traces on opposite sides of the FR1 board, with through-holes to mount key components like the 16-pin L293DNE motor driver. These through-holes also serve to accommodate other components such as LEDs, infrared proximity sensors, and motors, which could not be surface-mounted due to their size and functional requirements. Figure 1: Circuit design We divided the robot’s main body into small parts and printed them with a 3D printer. Desired outcome Once connected to pow...
