This project started off being based on an Arduino UNO. And it worded ok, I found the software published on the internet. For example https://forum.arduino.cc/t/model-railroad-speedome… This is actually version 2 using a smaller PCB and PIC chip. It works in exactly the same way as V1. I wanted to make the device smaller, neater and if […]

The Propeller processor chip is the most unique micro-controller on the market today. It’s not just a single microprocessor, but EIGHT independent processors that shareresources like memory and I/O pins. And it can do some pretty amazing things thatthe rest of the microcontrollers like the Ardino and PICs just plain can’t do! (But today, all we

Many industries have benefited from the continued evolution of technology. While this isn’t something that newspaper owners, travel agents, and cable TV providers want to hear, this tech growth is ultimately a large positive across the board. This is particularly the case for those in the logistics sector. Even though drones and automated vehicles may

The flashing LED is a tried and tested way of getting your board working, but it is somewhat tired as well. Since we have been supplying the proto shield with the blueberry purchases I thought it would be a good idea to do something different with the traditional “Hello World” project.This project is intended for
Designed and manufactured by our partner, Trenz Electronic, the TE0802 is a development board integrating a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device. The board features multiple connectivity interfaces, including DisplayPort, VGA, USB 3.0, and Gigabit Ethernet RJ45. With a cost-optimized ZU2CG UltraScale+ MPSoC, embedded developers and users familiar with Arm Cortex-R and Arm Cortex-A53 processors can get started

It’s about time isn’t it? Welcome back! If you’ve been following my I’bles up to this point, I’ve shown you two different ways to set up interrupts in MPIDE using attachInterrupt() and setIntVector(). In the first of those tutorials, I explained what “bounce” was, and why “debouncing” was important, but I had to leave you on a cliffhanger! Now

I’m always amazed at the new technology that is constantly coming out that allows hobbyists like myself access to powerful and cheap microcontrollers like the Arduino or chipKIT development boards. They are easy to program and easy to use, but sometimes the code can get a little bit long and we look at it and

This instructable describes how to build a stand-alone heart rate meter using Easy Pulse mikro sensor and mikroElektronika‘s clicker 2 for PIC18FJ board. An OLED W click board is also used to display the heart beat rate in beats per minute (BPM). The above figure shows all the things you would need to build this project. Step 1: Setup, Firmware, and
