Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers, weaving computation ...

Microcontrollers are often complete SOCs (systems on chips). Connect power and ground to a programmed device, and you have a powerful processor with active and ready memory and peripherals. These ...

Every Batman needs a Robin, right? Maybe not, but a superhero companion comes in handy on occasion, and not just in comic books. The Raspberry Pi Foundation today announced a small and super ...

While microcontroller specs may be the first thing engineers look at when deciding on a device for their system, the ecosystem that surrounds the microcontroller is certainly very important, and ...

What just happened? Raspberry Pi has just released a new module designed to simplify the development of turnkey wireless hardware solutions. While the single-board computer company has long offered ...

Classes are over at Cornell, and that means one thing: the students in [Bruce Land]’s microcontroller design course have submitted their final projects, many of which, like this flight control system ...

If you’ve wiring up a microcontroller and need some kind of storage, it’s likely you’ll reach for an SD card. Compared to other ways of holding data on your project, SD cards are just so much cheaper, ...

The goal of the Accelerometer Sensing Pack project is to develop a small device that can record acceleration data at a specific resolution for a minimum of one week. The device must be battery powered ...

Arm’s ARMv8.1-M architecture specification redefines its microcontroller offerings (Fig. 1). It includes the company’s Helium technology, which addresses machine-learning (ML) applications. Arm ...

Multicore, virtualization, and lots of little microcontroller chips are in the tea leaves this year. New technologies like Serial ATA (SATA) and PCI Express will materialize onto more chips and slowly ...
