LattePanda Puts Windows 10 on a Single Board Computer
Imagine being able to use Windows 10 on a Single Board Computer (SBC) right out of the box – that’s LattePanda. by Cabe Atwell @ makezine.com: Makers at Latte, a Shanghai-based startup, were frustrated at the lack of tools available to makers looking to create Windows-based...

Issues with printf function
The C library function printf() is one of the common used functions in embedded systems world to debug the code in real time over a serial connection. Using the printf() over serial is under debate and may not be optimal for embedded systems and that’s what Jacob Beningo over EDN tries...

Share Your Internet Connection With Raspberry Pi Zero Over USB
Raspberry Pi Zero is the smallest member in Raspberry Pi single-board computers family with a single-core 1 GHz processor chip, a micro-SD card slot, a mini HDMI port and two micro USB ports (one for power, one for USB). A tutorial in CircuitBasics demonstrates how we can get an Internet...

ESPUSB – An USB Software Stack For ESP8266
ESP8266EX and even the new ESP32 SoC lack a USB hardware transceiver, so [CNLohr] decided to develop a USB software stack for ESP8266. After a quick search, I think it is the first try to do a USB software stack for esp8266. USB software stack is a firmware-only implementation of a USB....

Power supply IC packs eight buck regulators
Aimed at systems requiring multiple low-voltage supplies, Linear Technology’s LTC3374A can be configured to supply two to eight independent regulated outputs with 15 possible output-current configurations. Each of the eight synchronous 1-A buck converters is powered from an...

DIY Lorentz Force Experiment
Fabian Gebhart shared his Lorentz Force experiment on Thingiverse: Don’t you love it? Magnetism? Electronics? And 3d printing? In this project I combine all of them together to a little but spectacular do-it-yourself experiment. With just a few components and the 3d printed part...
