Hi guys, welcome to today’s tutorial. Smart farms are becoming very popular as everyone is beginning to see the benefits in terms of crop health and yield and I know a lot of people that will be interested in smart farm automation. That’s why today, we will be looking at how to use...

If your project calls for light sensitivity, it’s hard to beat light dependent resistors (LDRs), also known as photoresistors. They’re available for a few cents each, and their resistance varies based on how much light they receive. In the dark, these devices produce resistances in...

By Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, Inc. Whether you are designing an SoC, MCU or other chip, the one common heartache is “freezing RTL.” Up until that point, it’s no problem making a change or update, but once it’s frozen, the chip design is “locked in.” A change after that...

(Taipei, Taiwan – May 3, 2018) – AAEON, one of the world’s leading developers and manufacturers of embedded platforms, launches the GENE-APL6, a rugged subcompact motherboard purpose-built for factory automation and transport applications. Equipped with an Intel® Pentium® N4200...

Integrated environmental sensors from Bosch Sensortec, the BME680, for wearables and mobile use, is available from Rutronik UK. The Bosch Sensortec BME680 expands Rutronik UK’s portfolio to include the first integrated MEMS sensor measuring individually, highly linear, and precise,...

In the last few years, we have seen a lot of love poured towards the hardware ecosystem especially hardware related to the Internet of Things applications (hardly would you find any board that doesn't have one or two IoT offerings). Some boards give basic IoT functionality like...

Back in March 2016, Espressif Announced the ESP8285 Wi-Fi Chip, a supposed killer of the favorite ESP8266 chip. The new chip is an ESP8266, but with the flash memory onboard -  1MB flash memory. Espressif’s ESP8285 delivers highly integrated Wi-Fi SoC solution to meet users’...

The third revision of the Raspberry Pi can best be summed up by the old adage of more of the same. A faster processor and Power over Ethernet capability were advertised - OEMsecrets tells you what you need to know. Raspberry Pi's are always sold via the ecosystem. This is a promise...
