In the previous tutorial, we discussed Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. As IoT solutions scale in size and complexity, these tools become essential for managing devices, data, and overall system performance. However, not all platforms serve the same function. Generally speaking, they fall into categories such as device management, connectivity management, application enablement, cloud integration,…

Electrical projects are extraordinary in every sense, apart from specific subject knowledge one also needs proper workspace, motive, and tools to accomplish a job. For the regular domestic electrical projects, you can employ the most common tools that are present in every household. However, innovators, designers, thinkers, and engineers fall in a completely different category, they can’t work with regular common tools. They need specialty tools. We have aggregated here a list of top ten essentials that will help all creators in upgrading or completing their toolkit. Take a look.

Drone’ is a layman term for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which is basically defined as aircrafts without a human pilot. These are either operated by a remote control or autonomously by onboard computers. The idea behind designing these vehicles was to put them to use where humans cannot reach or the missions which are too dangerous to be carried out manually. However, presently a lot of other evaluations are being undertaken so as to explore new possibilities. 

By 2025, an estimated 30 to 40 billion connected devices are expected to be in use worldwide. As of late 2024, over four billion cellular IoT connections. Industries now rely on the Internet of Things (IoT), encompassing everything from industrial systems and smart cities to healthcare and logistics. As these systems grow in scale and…

Traffic light systems have been in use for over 100 years. However, urban mobility faces new challenges worldwide with rising population densities, expanding road networks, and increasing car ownership. Originally designed to manage traffic with minimal human intervention, today’s traffic light systems are expected to do much more. They now play a critical role in…

Learning Guide to IoT A learning guide for IoT (Internet of Things) will help understand the basic concepts, tools, technologies, and steps involved in building IoT solutions. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate through the different aspects of IoT: Introduction to IoT Definition: IoT refers to a network of physical devices, vehicles, appliances,…

Transformer is an electrical device which works on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetism used to step up or step down the input [[wysiwyg_imageupload::]]voltage.Transformers are of different types for example: Power transformers, Current Transformers, Potential Transformers, Pulse Transformer, RF Transformer and Audio transformers. The most common application of Current transformer is to reduce the current and provide galvanic isolation in current sensing devices. Some typical examples include SMPS, motor control and electronic lightning ballasts.Some of you would know how a current transformer works. Windings, Core, connections and other things which many of you have surely seen in the books or  in the diagrams.But how many of you have got the chance to see how actually it looks from inside. A small instrument but which works greater than its size. In today’s insight you will know how current transformers are made to work. 

MicroSD cards are widely used with single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson Nano (the 2 and 4GB variants), and Odroid. In addition to single-board computers, various embedded devices rely on MicroSD cards for storage, data logging, firmware updates, and booting operating systems. MicroSD cards are cost-effective, offering the lowest per-gigabyte cost among…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to data centers. Today, AI is widely used and implemented in edge devices, smartphones, and embedded systems. This has been made possible through hardware and software acceleration methods that work together within embedded systems. It’s now feasible to run small machine-learning models on low-power, resource-constrained microcontroller units without…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone rapid advancements in recent years. This progress has led to unique computational requirements for modern AI systems, which traditional CPUs and GPUs cannot fully address. Initially, GPUs offered a solution for running AI models. However, as algorithms and applications have grown more complex, particularly in areas like deep neural networks,…

Edge AI refers to deploying artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and models directly on local devices like sensors, smartphones, or Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. This approach includes edge computing, which processes data closer to where it’s generated rather than sending it to a centralized Cloud for analysis. According to a report by Gartner, by the end of…

Artificial intelligence (AI) chips have become essential for powering various advanced device features, especially in smartphones. A few AI examples related to a phone’s camera include: Adjusting camera settings for optimal results Applying filters in real-time while capturing photos or videos Tracking moving objects in real-time, keeping them focused for the shot Identifying scenes in…

In the previous article, we discussed the different types of AI chips. Among these, ASICs play a significant role. Compared to GPUs, ASICs are faster and more power-efficient, thanks to their customized architectures designed for specific AI tasks or algorithms. One common misconception about AI ASICs is that they’re used solely for inference applications. However,…

The demand for artificial Intelligence (AI) chips is increasing due to their suitability in certain AI applications. This development mirrors the rise of Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) for 3D applications years ago. However, traditional CPUs and even GPUs often fall short in handling the unique demands of AI workloads, prompting the emergence of AI-specific chips.…

Spy gadgets, once exclusive to professional espionage, are now widely accessible and affordable for everyday users. Today, such devices are commonly employed in personal security, surveillance, private investigations, and sting operations.
