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.
As the latest smart electronic products add extra sensor-driven features and adopt higher-efficiency power technologies such as silicon carbide or gallium nitride to save energy, STMicroelectronics has unleashed its next generation of microcontrollers with the performance to manage them.
