Last year Google announced “Brillo” an operating system for IoT devices with a communication protocol called “Weave”. Today, most of the technical websites are talking about the new operating system “Fuchsia” which is, according to Google brief description, a “Pink +...

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...

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...

If your application requires a changing supply voltage, then this new IC is ideal for you. Intersil announced the ISL91128, a new buck-boost regulator. The new regulator has an I2C interface to select a broad set of features including output voltage range and slew rate. This eliminates...

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....

If you have a single Li-Ion battery powered application, then you need to think about using AS1383 in your design. AS1383 is a DC-DC boost converter comes in a 6-pin WL-CSP package with 0.4mm pitch, a very small package suits the limited space applications. In the below image, you can...

"myDevices", creators of IoT platform Cayenne, announced in a press release a partnership with Arduino to integrate Arduino support in their system. The partnership seems to be with Arduino SRL not with Arduino LLC. The currently supported Arduino boards, beside variety of sensors and...

Omron announced a new seismic sensor and claims it’s the world's smallest in size. D7S sensor is a MEMS 3-axis acceleration sensor featuring OMRON's unique SI value calculation algorithm, which has a high correlation with the seismic intensity scale that indicates the magnitude of an...
