Gardening is one of the common hobbies. It keeps you close to nature. It is healthiest hobby that anyone can have. Though, plants and trees are like pets. They need continuous care without break. One needs to be with them all time. This is not always possible. One may have to go for vacations or business trips or travel for other reasons. At such times, the garden may remain unattended for some time or even could be left unattended for a long period of time.
Note: it’s recommended to follow this VHDL tutorial series in order, starting with the first tutorial. In the previous tutorial VHDL Tutorial – 9, we learned how to build digital circuits from given Boolean equations. In this tutorial, we will: Write a VHDL program to build half and full-adder circuits. Verify the output waveform of the…
Our new Ensemble Graphics Toolkit is a free, open-source C++ GUI suite optimized for our MPUs that allows Linux® developers to create modern, intuitive graphical products. The Ensemble Graphics Toolkit is fully supported by Microchip as part of our mainline Linux distributions for the SAMA5 and SAM9 series of Arm processor-based MPUs.

Inertial sensors are used to transduce inertial force into measurable electrical signals to measure acceleration, inclination, and vibration of an object. Micromachining technology has made it possible to produce MEMS (Micro Electromechanical System) inertial sensors using single-crystal silicon sensor elements. These micron-sized sensors meet all major system design drivers like low-cost, high performance, high precision,…
In the previous tutorial, we discussed interfacing with the ADXL345 accelerometer sensor with Raspberry Pi using the I2C interface. UART, I2C, and SPI are the most common serial communication interfaces used in embedded systems. UART is used for point-to-point full-duplex asynchronous serial communication between two devices. I2C is used for synchronous serial communication among multiple…
To meet the needs of military and avionics applications, Vishay Intertechnology has announced that it’s extended the EP1 wet tantalum capacitor with new ratings in the B and C case codes. Offering the industry’s highest capacitance per voltage rating and case size for this device type, the capacitor is now available with radial through-hole or…
In the previous tutorial, we learned how to interface an ADXL345 accelerometer with Arduino by using the I2C bus. UART, I2C, and SPI are the most common serial communication protocols used in embedded electronics. UART, a universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is used for full-duplex serial communication with a single device. The I2C, an inter-integrated circuit, is a master-slave,…
This is a very easy circuit . This can be employed in automobiles as a sequential indicate light. This circuit is constructed with the help of two ICs first one is a CMOS timer IC i.e. 555 timer and another one is the decade counter IC i.e. CD4017. In this circuit astable mode of the 555 timer IC is been used to trigger the counter. Also few other discrete components are used in the circuit.
