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.
In this tutorial we will learn about Servo Motor and How to interface Servo with MSP430. The MSP-EXP430G2 is a Development Tool a.k.a LaunchPad provided by the Texas Instruments to learn and practice on how to use their Microcontrollers. This board falls under the MSP430 Value Line category where we can program all the MSP430 series Microcontrollers…
In this tutorial, we will learn about Real Time Clock (RTC) and its interfacing with the ESP32 and OLED display.
We will use the DS3231 RTC module to keep track of the correct time and display it on the SPI OLED by using ESP32 as our microcontroller. ESP32 is more than a microcontroller. It has a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip inside it and 39 GPIO pins.…
We have built many Arduino Projects and all the time we have used official Arduino IDE to program the Arduino. But do you know that we can also program the Arduino using your Smart phone. Sometimes we don’t have any PC or laptop to program our Arduino boards. We can still program it using our Android mobile, Thanks to OTG (On the Go) adaptor.

The digital Revolution started in 1950 changes all the existing mechanical and analog electronic structures into digital computers. Since the growth of digital electronics has been exponential, today it is almost impossible for a person to resist using any electronic equipment. Starting from the alarm clock that wakes you up and the toaster that serves you breakfast,…
In this tutorial, we will learn about ESP-12 Wi-Fi module and how to program it using Arduino IDE. Then we will write a program to blink an LED with ESP8266-12.
What is ESP8266 and NodeMCU?
Most people call ESP8266 as a WIFI module, but it is actually a microcontroller. ESP8266 is the name of the microcontroller…
In our previous RC Phase Shift Oscillator and Wein Bridge Oscillator tutorials, we get fair idea about what is an Oscillator. An oscillator is a mechanical or electronic construction which produces oscillation depending on few variables. A proper good oscillator produces stable frequency.
In case of RC (Resistor-Capacitor) or RLC (Resistor-Inductor-…
The internet has reached almost every pocket through smartphones. It is estimated that approximately 3.2 billion people use the internet; however, a surprising 8.4 billion devices also utilise the internet. ESP32 Arduino IDE is emerging as the most popular development combination for IoT projects. Electronic devices are connected to the internet in numbers more than twice…
Analog AI Accelerator Chip will accelerate the origination of AI technologies into embedded devices which have been difficult until now.
Toshiba has invented an ultra-low-power analog AI accelerator chip for an embedded system. This technology performs the multiply-accumulate operation, which reports for the…
NXP Semiconductors recently announced their new technology - NXP Automated drive kit, which allows the car manufacturing company to develop, test and utilize autonomous algorithms and application fastly on an open and flexible platform.
The kit enables easy access to multiple hardware and software options, which is helpful to the…
Samsung’s new Exynos 9 series 9810 increases smartphones user experience with its premium features of 2.9GHz custom CPU, an industry-first 6CA LTE modem, and deep learning processing capabilities
Samsung launched the latest premium application processor (AP) named “Exynos 9 Series 9810” built on the 2nd generation of…
Pulse Width Modulation using 555 timer is an important feature of today’s microcontroller due to its requirement for controlling many devices in almost every field of Electronics. PWM is widely used for motor control, lighting control, etc. Sometimes we do not use a microcontroller in our applications, and if we need to generate PWM without a microcontroller, then we prefer…
The Arduino Development Platform, at the beginning in 2005, was conceived to be a simple programmable device to be used specifically for art design work. The goal was to create an interface to support the design and use of simple electronics, working with Arduino timer functions without requiring deep programming expertise. This simplicity led to fast adoption by electronic…
