ESP32-CAM Currency Recognition System using Edge Impulse Ever wondered if a small, low-cost board like the ESP32-CAM can actually recognise objects or even identify Indian currency notes? In this project, the answer is a clear yes. We combine the ESP32-CAM with the powerful Edge Impulse platform to build a system capable of object detection and image classification right at the edge. By using the Edge Impulse at every step… |

Arduino FreeRTOS Tutorial 3- Using Semaphore and Mutex in FreeRTOS with Arduino In previous tutorials, we have covered the basics of FreeRTOS with Arduino and the Queue kernel object in FreeRTOS Arduino. Now, in this third FreeRTOS tutorial, we will learn more about FreeRTOS and its advance APIs, which can make you understand the multi-tasking platform more deeply. Semaphore and Mutex (Mutual Exclusion) are the kernel objects… |

Arduino FreeRTOS Tutorial 2- Using Queues in Arduino FreeRTOS In the previous tutorial, we introduced FreeRTOS in Arduino Uno and created a task for the blinking LED. Now, in this tutorial, we will dive more into advance concepts of RTOS APIs and learn about communication between different tasks. Here we also learn about Queue to transfer data from one task to another and demonstrate the working of queue APIs by interfacing 16x2 LCD… |

Arduino FreeRTOS Tutorial 1 - Creating a FreeRTOS task to Blink LED in Arduino Uno The OS present inside the embedded devices is called an RTOS (Real-Time Operating System). In embedded devices, real-time tasks are critical where timing plays a very important role. Real-time tasks are Time Deterministic means the response time to any event is always constant so that it can be guaranteed that any particular event will occur at a fixed time. RTOS is designed… |
