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.
Liquid Crystal Displays or more commonly known as LCDs are one of the most common electronic components which help us interact with an equipment or a device. Most personal portable equipment and even gigantic industrial equipment utilize a custom segment display to display data. For many portable consumer electronics, a segment LCD display is one of the biggest contributors…

The new CM5-P1000 COTS PC/104 module from ADLINK is a compact, energy-efficient, and highly effective robust solution that addresses the size, weight, and power (SWaP) restrictions in aerospace and defense applications. This new module comes with NVIDIA Quadro P1000 graphics processing capabilities and is perfect for demanding mission-critical video/imaging analysis…
Humidity, Temperature and Pressure are three basic parameters to build any Weather Station and to measure environmental conditions. We have previously built a mini Weather Station using Arduino and this time we are extending the weather station with Raspberry Pi. This IoT based Project aims to show the current Humidity, Temperature and Pressure parameters on the LCD as…
An embedded operating system is a specially designed operation system, which performs specific kinds of tasks in a small segment of memory unit like a Microcontroller/Microprocessor. Why do we need an operating system to complete a task? The answer is no. We use the operating system depending on our purposes like completing tasks within the time-complexity, easy to manage…
It has just been a little more than 10 days since the tech giant Apple has announced the launch of its new tracking device “AirTag” and today, the device has been hacked by a group of security researchers. For those who don’t know, Airtag is an IoT-based product tracking device that can be used to track products and personal stuff like keys, wallets, etc. The AirTag can be…
Maxim Integrated Products and Aizip Inc, a company focused on artificial intelligence (AI) for applications in the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that Maxim Integrated’s MAX78000 neural-network microcontroller detects people in an image using Aizip’s Visual Wake Words (VWW) model at just 0.7 millijoules (mJ) of energy per inference. This is 100 times lower than…

Expanding its RE Family of 32-bit ultra-low-power consumption MCUs, Renesas has introduced a new microcontroller, RE01B with Bluetooth 5.0 support. Developed using Renesas’ breakthrough SOTB (Silicon on Thin Buried Oxide) process technology, this new device is ideal for energy harvesting systems and intelligent IoT devices that need to operate constantly at extremely low…
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a type of analog modulating technique in which the duration or width of the pulse changes in accordance with the time. It is a commonly used technique to produce a continuous pulse signal with a defined frequency and duty cycle. In short, PWM is about changing the width of a pulse while the frequency remains constant.
