Element14, a division of Avnet, has unveiled its annual last-minute gift ideas for both engineers and makers in a list created by engineers.

Embedded processing:

• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 4GB RAM — The latest generation developer board with the same footprint and connectivity of older models but with onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
• Portable 3D printing pen — For repairing large 3D prints or creating small models.
• BeagleBone AI — An open source, documented processor, board, schematics and the ability to embed in a design.

For the workbench:

• All-purpose bit set — For quick repairs at home or in a portable repair café or hackspace.
• Multicomp Pro 150 W soldering station — For fixing anything from electronics to broken ornaments.
• Bench vise — Helps a solo engineer hold items.

Tool on the go:

• Tool kit — A 153-piece set features everyday essentials a maker needs.
• BeagleBone Robotics Cape — Extends the capabilities of the Beaglebone to control motors for robotics and drones.
• PiFace control and display — An add-on board for the Raspberry Pi.

Element14 is also conducting three giveaway opportunities for cool stuff through Dec. 30, including a chance to win a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and assembly tools. Find out more on the Element14 site.
