Princeton University researchers have developed a new computer chip that promises to boost the performance of data centers that lie at the core of numerous online services such as email and social media. The chip — called “Piton” after the metal spikes driven by rock climbers into mountainsides to aid in their ascent — was presented Aug. 23 …

Tuck professor Constance Helfat proposes a new theory of firm integration based on the costs of technological innovation When Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit—now known as a microchip—at Texas Instruments in the late 1950s, he unwittingly launched a multi-trillion-dollar industry that facilitated the information age. Because of the nature of the invention, Gordon Moore, …

Energy from your body heat and motion could fuel the future of preventative health care. Researchers at the University of Virginia are developing a low-power microchip that can support on-body, real-time health monitoring. By harvesting all its needed energy from sources like body heat, motion and sunlight, the chip will provide an extremely compact, long-lasting …

This Instructable will go over the steps involved in controlling the WS2812 LED strip using LabVIEW, LabVIEW MakerHub LINX, and chipKIT WF32. Note – This project can be done using the LabVIEW Physical Computing Kit which contains both LabVIEW Home Bundle and chipKIT WF32 here. Step 1: Materials 1) LabVIEW LabVIEW Home Bundle can be …

I’ve always thought it would be nice to have a car with a parking sensor. I don’t want to spend that kind of money until I pay off my student loans. However I do have the materials to make one myself thanks to a class I took on microcontrollers. Part of my motivation is that …
There may come a time in your chipKIT explorations when you have to put some new firmware onto your board. Well, fear not. This Instructable will go through how to load firmware onto your board. (We’re gonna be using the WF32) In order for us to upload firmware you’ll need a few things. A chipKIT …
There has not been a simple addressable LED library for PIC32 microcontrollers until now! The PICxel library is an MPIDE library that handles the timing required to use addressable LEDs (WS2812, WS2811) or more commonly known as Adafruit Neopixels. Going through through a couple steps will allow your to get started with the PICxel library. …
With all LEDs you will need a power supply, some sort of way to send a signal (usually a microcontroller) and method of connecting the LED to your system… Admittedly, that sort of explanation is all things pretty vague (as a description), so instead it’s my opinion that the easiest way to explain the LEDs …
