As connected devices proliferate, from smart sensors, trackers and wearables to IoT networks, engineers face a mounting challenge: how to power millions of small systems efficiently and with sustainably.

Bluetooth: Past and PresentThe Bluetooth name, logo, and core capabilities have been around for decades, becoming almost ubiquitous in the world of wireless communication. Even among the non-tech-savvy, Bluetooth permeates life in the modern world. From c

This question came up in a discussion about power electronics failures for which there was initially no viable explanation. Cosmic rays are not an invention by Stanislav Lem or a myth from the Star Wars universe. Cosmic radiation consists of high-energy p

The agriculture industry faces numerous challenges driven by environmental, economic, and social factors. Climate change is a major concern, causing unpredictable weather patterns, droughts, floods, and shifting growing seasons, which impact crop yields.

Real Time Logic presented the Xedge32 Development Environment delivering a native and open gateway to ESP32 IoT design. The ESP32 is a 240MHz dual-core microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi at a low-cost point. Lua is allowing coders of all levels to develo

There is a seemingly endless number of RTOSes used with embedded MCUs, most of which have their own proprietary functionally as well as a unique API. Some of the APIs are good, and some not quite as good. In reality, the delta between a good and less-good

Latest updates on industry open standards for portable accelerated vision processing and inferencing, and insights into the goals and design directions of the new Kamaros embedded camera API Standard.

The recent pandemic was the beginning of many trends. One of those was the "work from everywhere" phenomenon, which is here to stay, at least in some form. With the number of home employees jumping in size seemingly overnight, along with it came the need

As the world becomes more advanced, our dependence on electricity becomes more acute. Power outages can reduce the most sophisticated homes to quite primitive ones and this article describes the design of an uninterruptible power supply for the home that

I recently came across an 8-bit PIC MCU data sheet that predates 1982. That means it also predates Microchip as a company (incorporated in 1989), making it a remnant of bygone General Instruments days.
