In many applications, all you need is an MCU with reasonably low processing capabilities just to interface with sensors and send some data through a transceiver or even provide output to a display or actuate on something. For these simple tasks, an 8-bit microcontroller is usually just...

We have seen how good the ESP32 series of microcontrollers is, as they are probably the second favorite (only dethroned by the mighty Arduino boards) among makers, with their connectivity being their strongest suit, making it easy to develop IoT applications with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth...

A little while ago, we covered a positioning receiver IC that enhanced positioning accuracy to centimeters due mostly to its cutting-edge capability of concurrent reception of multiple constellation data (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSSl, to be precise). Its name is the Teseo-LIV3F, from...

Are you on the market for a good compromise between high performance and low power, while having some key security features and a rich set of peripherals to empower your IoT applications? If you are, then the Renesas RA6M4 family of microcontrollers might be ideal for you! The RA6M4...

We have seen a lot of USB Type-C over the years. First, it started showing up on our computers, and its usefulness started to show up. Right now, even our phones are choosing it over the old Micro USB. But what about our devices? Well, they have also seen some changes in ports, to a...

With the market being flooded by "Pi" branded products, it becomes hard to find out which ones deserve your attention and bring something new to the table, and not just impersonate the original Raspberry Pi models. This is as big of a rant you are going to get today, as we take a peek...
