2021 Get Launched design program open for entries now
Mouser is once again sponsoring the 2021 Get Launched program from Microchip Technology and Crowd Supply. Get Launched is a start-up and incubator support program that assists companies to achieve rapid time-to-production and time-to-market by utilising Microchip’s technical expertise to guide throughout the design process. The program has already supported over two dozen campaigns, raising over $629,000 (USD).
The global electronics design program encourages designers to submit projects that uniquely feature one or more components from Microchip. The program is a partnership between Mouser, Microchip, and Crowd Supply, and entries will be promoted over all three channels.

Researchers working for a French government agency have identified seven new Bluetooth vulnerabilities that could expose many devices to impersonation and other types of attacks.
The flaws, discovered by researchers at France’s national cybersecurity agency ANSSI, affect devices that support the Bluetooth Core and Mesh specifications, which define technical and policy requirements for devices operating over Bluetooth connections.
Malicious actors who are within Bluetooth range can exploit the weaknesses to impersonate legitimate devices, according to an advisory published on Monday by the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) at Carnegie Mellon University.
Advisories for each flaw have also been published by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), the organization that oversees the development of Bluetooth standards.
