There’s many a time when you want to connect a white LED to a microcontroller operating from a 3 V supply voltage. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work and your nice white LED only lights up feebly or not at all. Why does it work perfectly with red and green LEDs, but not with white? A...

The new Renesas RX66N and RX72N high-performance MCU families offer the highest integration of fast 120 MHz-Flash and SRAM memory and peripheral function The new Renesas RX66N and RX72N high-performance MCU families offer the highest integration of fast 120 MHz-Flash and SRAM memory...

The STM32L5 microcontroller series is the solution and provides a new optimal balance between performance, power, and security Security has emerged as one of the 3 key areas that developers of embedded and IoT applications are thriving to improve. The STM32L5 microcontroller series...

It’s becoming quite obvious that traditional batteries are limiting the progress of IoT devices. They are expensive, they contain harmful chemicals and most importantly All-Batteries-Will-Die. Vemund Kval Bakken chief technology officer and co-founder at ONiO say the real problem with...

PICKitAutoWatch is a new application and a new approach to programming microcontrollers. PICKitAutoWatch supports both PICkit2 and PICkit3 programmers.  The software is feature rich and easy to use via a simple user interface. PICKitAutowatch is the best value for money products if...

An Open Source SAMD21 Development Board by sirmylesavery @ hackaday.io This project started after my first introduction to PCB design at my 2019 summer internship. At that internship, I designed a board that used a SAMD21 to control a GPS and LoRa module. This was my first introduction...

Last year, GreenWaves Technologies launched the GAP8 multi-core RISC-V microcontroller, aimed at artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge at ultra-low power consumption. Results from the GAP8 IoT SoC shows it performs inference at 3.7mA against 60mA for the same workload on STM32F7 Arm...

HelTec CubeCell is a new product series made by HelTec. CubeCell series is based on ASR605x ICs (ASR6501, ASR6502), those chips are already blended with the PSoC 4000 series MCU (ARM Cortex M0+ Core) and Semtech SX1262 transceiver. It is perfectly Arduino-compatible and can run the...
