Cypress Semiconductor is sampling a 4-Mbit ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM), which is one of the industry’s highest density serial F-RAMs, featuring a 40-MHz serial peripheral interface (SPI) and a 2.0-V to 3.6-V operating voltage range. F-RAMs consume 200 times less energy than serial EEPROMs and 3000 times less energy than NOR flash devices. Further, Cypress F-RAMs […]

Welcome to another chapter of PIC18F programming Tutorial. In this chapter we are going to program a simple 28 pin PIC18F2550 microcontroller using mplabx IDE and XC8 Compiler. The concepts for programming a pic18f2550 microcontroller is still going to be almost same as previous tutorials on pic18f4550 microcontroller, however since pic18f2550 is a different microcontroller […]

With summer arriving, and the fear of dried out chicken looming, we wanted a more high tech way to track the temperature of items we are grilling outside. There are wireless probe thermometers, but they require carrying around a separate readout. We wanted a way to read the termperature from our smartphone, so we took […]

Introduction Some fellow members of The Abbenay Hackspace (an open hacker space based in Stockholm, Sweden) are embarked on an ambitious project with the aim of being the first to build an autonomous sailing robot which is capable of circumnavigating the Earth. The project is currently in the early prototyping stages and this RC Servo […]

USB Interface Development Board Tutorial -1 STAGE/PART-1 MAKING OF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD CONTROL YOUR DEVICES FROM COMPUTER USING USB PORT – pic18f4550 + MPLAB IDE INTRODUCTION ( USB PROJECT) : STEP 1 This project demonstrates a computer control interface using a USB Board. (USB INTERFACE PROJECT). This tutorial will show you a simple way […]

A team of researchers with members from the University of California and Rice University has found a way to get a flat transistor to defy theoretical limitations on Field Effect Transistors (FETs). In their paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes their work and why they believe it could lead to consumer devices […]

The goal This will help to see the state of roads, in live, just need to load your favorite (urban or not) traffic map. The screen I have found a nice screen on ebay for ~18€, a 3.2″ TFT LCD Touch Screen, cheap and small is ideal. Installing raspbian-DVK512-12040725.img To use the touch screen, we […]

Lantronix xPico WiFi module may be already familiar to you from our articles, for example: xPico WiFi is a dream come true for producers and customers where we also mention the HW compatibility with the xPico module ( wired, serial-to-Ethernet modul). New version – xPico WiFi SMT brings the same functionality as xPico WiFi and […]

IR Sensor Interface with PIC18F4550 In my previous project we have made a simple IR sensor Circuit. In this project, as promised before – we are going to demonstrate a PIC18F4550 microcontroller interface to IR sensor circuit. We are just going to glow few on the pic18f4550 as an example, however you can do some […]
