Power constraint is a critical consideration undertaken by designers when selecting a microcontroller for an application — particularly with IoT applications where power plays a vital role. IoT nodes are only useful in the field if they last for years or even a decade on a single battery. The race for lower power devices between…
In the previous tutorial, we discussed multiplexing seven-segment displays (SSDs). Continuing with the display devices, in this tutorial, we will cover how to interface character LCD when using Arduino. Character LCDs are the most common display devices used in embedded systems. These low-cost LCDs are widely used in industrial and consumer applications. Display devices in embedded systems…
Maxim Integrated MAXM17630, MAXM17631, and MAXM17632 Himalaya, uSLIC™, Step-Down Power Modules are high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC modules with integrated controller, MOSFETs, compensation components, and inductor that operate over a wide input-voltage range. uSLIC Power Modules operate from 4.5V to 36V and deliver up to 1A output current. The MAXM17630 and MAXM17631 are fixed 3.3V and…

Infineon Technologies has developed the world’s first fully self-contained Raspberry Pi audio amplifier HAT (Hardware attached on Top) board. It offers high-definition audio at boom box power levels in a small form factor. The Infineon proprietary multi-level technology ensures minimum size and consumption, state of the art power efficiency, and HD audio quality for Raspberry…
In the previous tutorial, we discussed Tkinter and TTK widgets. With the help of these widgets, we will be creating user interfaces to control embedded electronics. We have already created a blank GUI window for our ‘Raspberry Pi Embedded Electronics Control App’. In this tutorial, we will discuss ttk menus and will create one for…
Early Bird is an energy-efficient method developed to train Deep Neural Network (DNNs), artificial intelligence that supports self-driving vehicles, facial recognition, and similar types of applications. It was developed by researchers from Texas A&M University and Rice University. A study by lead authors Haoran You and Chaojian Li of Rice’s Efficient and Intelligent Computing (EIC)…
Vehicle is part of our busy life but if we are in office or in house then we need to park vehicle outside or in parking lot. There is prone to theft or hit by other vehicle. The situation of vehicle can’t be track without visiting parking place. So this project is built to track status of vehicle, when somebody try to steal the vehicle or get hit by any others vehicle.
The project built on two boards one is for transmission which named as PARKING VEHICLE MONITOR-TX and other is for receiving which named as PARKING VEHICLE MONITOR-RX. The TX board is used to transmit the status of vehicle and other RX board is used to receive the status of vehicle and display the status on 16×2 LCD display.
