Simple IR capture for multitasking operating systems The IR Widget captures the infrared signals used by remote controls. It operates in a way that makes it compatible with modern multitasking operating systems. It is able to determine the carrier frequency and demodulate the carrier in the digital or analog domain. The captured information can be […]
Introduction For this design project, we built a portable digital synthesizer capable of creating a wide variety of sounds designed by the user. The system consisted of a full octave (13 key) keyboard with two-voice polyphony, three rotary encoders for user input, a TFT LCD for visual display, and an SPI DAC for audio output.

The ESP32-C3 is a WiFi SoC that contains a RISC-V core in place of the Tensilica core in the ESP32 we are all familiar with. It uses the ESP8266 pin-out. As with other ESP32 family members, this one delivers b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth LE 5, where it differs is the RISC-V 32 Single-core processor with a clock speed of up to 160

Microcontrollers are, basically, a computer in a single chip. It contains memory, processor, I/O ports (I/O = Input/Output) and other periphericals. Can you believe a single chip does contain RAM, ROM, CPU, I/O Ports, timers and other gadgets? It only needs a keyboard and display to be a working computer… …I almost forgot; It also
