The USB-C PD-Sink is a board by Pier 42 that enables any device to be powered from a USB supply. It allows the option to set the voltage at 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or 20V and allowing current as high as 5A. The current settings are very flexible in steps of 250mA from 0 to 5A, but this...

Angelu (Elsofgel), a Canadian-based electrical engineer has developed an Arduino shield to implement an SPI to Ethernet Interface (SEI) on the PIC32 microcontroller. While it seems very similar to the Wiznet’s chips, the major difference being that it is a software implementation and...

Electrical engineers from the University of California, San Diego recently designed a new portable chip that consumes 5000 less power than the Wi-Fi radios that we have today. The new chip, which is smaller in size compared with a grain of rice, is said to be ideal for IoT devices,...

Data security and privacy are becoming more of a necessary requirement for the Internet of Things (IoT), and other communication-based solutions. This is because for these solutions to become ubiquitous in homes, businesses, and agencies around the world, they have to be immune to data...

The recent moves by Sonos can only be explained as targets towards expanding its connected ecosystem of smart devices and beyond. The wireless speaker company from Santa Barbara California, sometime last year acquired a French company that provides embedded assistants and interfaces for...

The saying that “everything old is actually new again” finally became a reality for the Pro Micro board, as the popular Arduino compatible board gets revised with few additional features. The board that has been a favorite for about half a decade now received something of a great...

Interesting how what started as a little discussion turned out to be one great solution at MAKE 100 as founders and owners of Staudt Technologies, Katharina and Yannic share their newly discovered solution with the world. Having realized how really difficult it is to quickly find...

Whenever we have projects that require displaying human-readable information, we typically go with LEDs or different gadgets that draw lots of juice from the available power supply. Sometimes, this is fine, yet on the off chance that your power options are quite constrained, or you need...
