PICKit+ recently announced that it is now possible to Program Microchip PICs from MPLAB-X using PICkit2 programmer and it's even possible for those PICs that MPLAB-X programmer operations do not support. The challenge There are many PIC microcontrollers that currently not supported by...

The Cricket ONE is the first in a series of small microcontroller boards using the familiar form factor of the Raspberry Pi Zero series of single-board computers. Featuring an ATMEGA328PB and CH340C USB to UART converter, this board is Arduino IDE compatible and includes all of the...

Toradex is now bringing Torizon, its easy-to-use industrial Linux software platform, to its System on Modules (SoMs) based on the i.MX 8X applications processors from NXP®. Toradex offers the i.MX 8X-based SoMs in two form factors: the small Colibri iMX8X and the powerful Apalis...

megaAI is a turn-key computer vision and artificial intelligence solution that combines and harnesses the 4 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second) of AI processing power with a beautiful 4K, 60 FPS camera for human/object tracking in a tiny, low-power, package. It’s perfect for...

Infineon Technologies AG developed the world’s first fully self-contained Raspberry Pi audio amplifier HAT (Hardware attached on Top) board. It offers high definition audio at boom box power levels in a small form factor. The Infineon proprietary multilevel technology ensures minimum...

For a while now, we have witnessed the use of wireless charging, by placing a phone or other devices that support wireless charging on a charging pad. Energous is one of the companies that started promoting their near-field, mid-field, and far-field wireless charging solutions, with...

This is a minimal and small clock based on PIC16F628A microcontroller and DS1307 RTC IC. It is able to only show the time on a small 7-segment display with a total of 4 segments. The display we used is a 0.28″ SR440281N RED common cathode display bought from LCSC.com, but you can use...

Have you recently been sceptical of using a contact-based access system in your office or a public place? This trait is a major concern in most places for a valid reason. An access surface in a public place is used by many individuals, which makes it a potential source for contracting...
