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.
Renesas Electronics Corporation has launched a new group of microcontrollers (MCUs) named RA2T1, tailored for systems that control a single motor. The group is based on the Arm Cortex-M23 processor, running at 64 MHz, and is meant for devices like fans, power tools, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, printers, and hair dryers. They have a 3-channel sample and hold (S&H) function to measure…
Researchers, with support from The University of Queensland and other institutions, developed Zoborg, a living darkling beetle that was turned into a cyborg using an electronic wireless backpack mounted on its body. The backpack is tiny (15.8 mm x 5.8 mm, weighing 160 mg) and includes an ATtiny85V microcontroller and an infrared receiver. Electrodes are implanted in the elytra (hard covers on…
Raspberry Pi has announced that Camera Module 3 Sensor Assemblies are now available as standalone products starting at $15. The Camera Module 3 was originally launched approximately 2.5 years ago and is widely used in hobbyist projects, as well as in industrial and embedded applications. These new sensor assemblies stemmed from the need for smaller form factors that were required in some…
Cyient Semiconductors and MIPS have announced a strategic collaboration to develop ASIC and ASSP solutions using MIPS Atlas processor IP. They aim to deliver domain-optimized solutions for automotive, industrial, and data center applications. The companies believe that their collaboration will allow for the development of next-gen semiconductor solutions that use embedded intelligence, real-…
A maker built a real-life transformer robot that switches from a car to a robot, just like in the movies. The build is designed for someone to ride, much like a toy car. The robot uses Gimson Robotics 99.5:1 gearhead motors with additional 3D-printed two-stage gear reductions. Six motor assemblies power all leg joints.
It uses AS5047 magnetic encoders to track joint positions, allowing…
An RFID-based attendance system transforms the tedious task of manual attendance tracking into an automated, error-free process. What makes this project particularly exciting is how a few inexpensive components can replace expensive commercial systems, giving you complete control over features while learning valuable skills in embedded programming and circuit design…
A simple piano doorbell that replaces the usual chime with real piano notes was demonstrated in a recent project published by Arpan Mondal. The system combines microcontroller-based control with audio playback to create an interactive doorbell.
At its core is an ESP32-S3, which takes inputs from 5 keys styled like a tiny piano. Each key is built using micro limit switches and connected…
Bharat Electronics Ltd(BEL), a Navratna defense public sector enterprise that deals with cutting-edge electronics systems, and Tata Electronics, a Tata Group greenfield venture, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on June 5, 2025, at Bombay House, Mumbai. This formalizes their joint efforts to develop indigenous electronics and semiconductor solutions.
The primary aim of the…
Reflex Drive, a deep-tech startup, has used key semiconductor components from Infineon Technologies AG. They’ve integrated Infineon's OptiMOS 80 V and 100 V power MOSFETs and the MOTIX IMD701 integrated motor control solution. This benefits their electric speed controllers (ESCs) through better thermal performance and high power density. The ESCs are compact, with a footprint of 120 cm³ and a…
THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minnesota, USA — DigiKey, a leading global commerce distributor offering the largest selection of technical components and automation products in stock for immediate shipment, introduces dedicated Application & Technology Portals in the APAC region. The portals are localized online resources designed to empower engineers and innovators with technology-specific resources…
The Stock Pot, A local hobbyist has built a smart remote control as a personal solution to a worn-out TV remote. Instead of replacing parts, he decided to create a custom remote from the ground up, and made a full tutorial so others can follow along too.
At the core of the project is an ESP32, a small, budget-friendly microcontroller that's really popular for smart home builds. With it…
A DIY The Wrench maker has built a smart desk dustbin with an automatic iris-style lid, adding both functionality and a unique touch to a workspace. After some adjustments, the final design was printed successfully using a 3D printer using a design made in Fusion 360. Different filament colors were used to make the dustbin visually appealing.
The smart feature of the dustbin is…
