Data acquisition technology (DAQ tech) is relevant and important but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with it. In this article, I'll give a brief overview, present some of the key players, and cover a real-world DAQ application.
Whether designing and creating a printed circuit board (PCB) for a prototyping project or a company product, modern processes and tools increase the likelihood that your circuit will work the first time. In this article, I outline the steps needed to create a PCB and the tools that can help get you there. I also discuss important considerations in PCB design and construction.
Microcontrollers (MCUs) geared toward specific industries and markets are not a new concept. There are MCUs designed for broad swaths of industry, such as automotive, industrial, and wireless MCUs.
This month, I continue my series on debugging embedded real-time systems. In this article, I will look at the challenges in determining whether a problem is in hardware or software and perhaps a few strategies to deal with those challenges.
Microcontrollers (MCUs) that come equipped with built-in RF capabilities. Whether via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or another RF capability, the selection of devices covers an array of wireless needs everything from smart home to industrial to medical applications.
