The Module is based on The MCP2200, which is a USB-to-UART serial converter which enables USB connectivity in application that have a UART interface. The device reduces external components by integrating the USB termination resistors. The MCP2200 also has 256-bytes of integrated user EEPROM. The MCP2200 has eight general purpose input / output pins. Four […]

ARM has not only revolutionised the embedded processor market in a way Intel could not have imagined 20 years ago. It is also changing the very different world of digital signal processing (DSP). Microcontrollers are not designed for real-time processing and so the DSP function has to be added. Texas Instruments first added DSP elements

Recently I’v got my samples of SN6505A, it’s a really nice IC, so I decided to make a simple DC/DC converter to get familiar with it. What I like in this chip is that it can operate on input voltage as low as 2,5V – that makes it great for battery devices. It’s also nice,

Analog Devices (ADI) has introduced a multi-core Sharc DSP device which it believes will remove the power limitations of using floating point DSP for highly determinisitic audio processing. As a result it aims to encourage wider use of floating point DSP in real-time processing applications which currently try to use a system CPU, typically ARM-based

If you’re like me, you don like buying stuff that’s ready-to-go, but rather build one yourself. We usually spend more money, but it’s way more satisfying I really didn’t want to buy an overly expensive 32ch FPV LCD receiver, so I made my own DIY 32ch FPV 5.8ghz LCD, that is compatible with EVERY transmitter on

Linear Technology has put the whole of a supercapacitor power back-up system on one chip. Rated at 2A, it will back-up a voltage rail (Vsys) between 1.71 and 5.25V. Key to the chip, called LTC3110, is a 1.2MHz four-switch bi-directional dc-dc converter that both charges the capacitor and can also extract almost all of the

The module based on DS1307, The DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially through an I²C, bidirectional bus. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The end of the month date is
ulibSD It’s a library for use SD cards in SPI mode with uControllers, entirely written in C. This library can work with SD cards and also has the possibility to emulate the behavior in a PC file (GNU/Linux) using the macro _M_IX86. It’s for debugging purposes. The data transfer is oriented to 512 byte size,

The Omron RS8 met several of our design requirements, small, battery operated, quiet and entirely wrist mounted. So no heavy base unit. With the initial attack vector expected to be the NFC interface the case was opened and warranty voided. Thankfully the PCB was not too complicated, although populated on both sides the dual layer

Recently I’ve found this piece of electronic on the dumpster, it was looking interesting – compact case with battery holder, LCD display, temperature and humidity sensor. It has also radio transmitter, but I’m not interested in it since I don’t have the receiver station. I decided to bring it back to life.It seems that was
