Embedded Electronics

By textbook definition, Embedded Electronics can be defined as a system that “Integrates Hardware circuitry with software programming techniques to provide real-time solutions”. From age old pocket calculators to advanced automobile and security devices the applications of Embedded System continue to show a strong progress.

In this section we will discuss about the various embedded controllers and embedded development platforms including, but not limited to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU, ESP32, Microchip, AVR, ARM, MSP430, STM32, STM8S, Nuvoton etc. It also updates the readers with latest Embedded News and technology trends to help them plan and design their Embedded Projects with ease.

Bojan Jurca’s open-source Arduino sketch "Esp32_oscilloscope," transforms any ESP32 board to function as a web-based oscilloscope accessible over WiFi. While the Scoppy project demonstrated the conversion of a Raspberry Pi Pico W into a 2-channel oscilloscope, Bojan's project showcases the potential of using the more robust ESP32-series microcontroller for similar…

STMicroelectronics has launched a new series of short-range wireless microcontrollers aimed at serving wearables and smart objects. These microcontrollers focus on making devices smaller, easier to use, and more cost-efficient, while also ensuring security. The main emphasis of this product line, known as STM32WBA5, is its ability to provide a single-chip solution…

In the past few years, Flipper Zero has gained a lot of attention for its versatility. Now a new multi-hacking tool is coming to the market, offering enhanced features and capabilities for tech enthusiasts and professionals, called the M1. The M1 resembles a retro-gaming console with a powerful STMicro STM32H5 Cortex-M33 high-performance microcontroller, setting it…

The 16-channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver, PCA9685, is an ideal module for precise control of multiple PWM outputs that are commonly used to control servos, LEDs, and other devices in applications such as robotics, automation, lighting, and servo motor control. In this project, we will use most of this module’s channels to control the Servo motors. At the same time, we…

In this project, we'll explore an IoT-based irrigation system using the ESP32 board and Blynk app. It's a project based on the Internet of Things (IoT), the smart irrigation system offers numerous possibilities to automate the entire irrigation process. Here, we're creating a plot-based smart irrigation system using the ESP32 Controller, a soil moisture sensor, a…

Last year WCH launched the CH32V series RISCV microcontroller series. The main selling point for those was their price which started around 10 cents and onwards. The series ranged from the CH32V003, AKA the “10 cents microcontroller” with 2KB SRAM and 16KB flash to the CH32V307 with 64KB of SRAM and 256KB flash. So far,  to program them the users have to rely on…

Debugging a circuit on a hardware level is always challenging, especially when coding is involved. It would always make the debugging easier if there were a way to monitor the MCU live. Are you looking for such a solution, without adding expense to your existing design? Worry not, the maker Charles Giguere got your back. Charles has designed a tool which aims to make…

Ryan Walker from Interrupt Labs, in collaboration with Protectli, has developed a new open-source uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This UPS, which operates on 12 18650 batteries, aims to provide a reliable power source for DC-powered devices during outages. Its open-source nature is a key feature, with the design and firmware available under a liberal open-source…

Joe Scotto, a renowned creator of open-hardware keyboards, has recently introduced his newest creation, a striking ortholinear keyboard named the Scotto108. This unique keyboard features a 108-key full sized ortholinear layout and a large 7u spacebar and 4 maco keys above the number pad, making it a compact design. Perfect as a Christmas present for his parents,…
