Agriculture is undergoing an evolution and technology is fast becoming an indispensable part of farming. To a great extent, the agricultural industry relies on innovative ideas and technological advancements to help increase crop yields. From automation and robotics to connected livestock, the next generation of farming is indeed going to leave us amazed. Today, the Internet…
When we talk about the most impactful technologies of today that have a very bright future, 3D scanning technology indeed deserves a mention. 3D scanning technology provides an innovative approach to digitally capture the shape of a physical object by creating “point clouds” of data from the surface. Despite being in its initial stages, this technology is…
Antennas are everywhere these days, most of the mainstream technologies like smartphones, security, and IoT devices use antennas to communicate between them and that's why RF becomes one of the most fascinating and robust corners of engineering and design. So, my goal today is to give readers some of the basic ideas about what an antenna is, how it works & how to build…
A voltage regulator is a simple and cost-effective device that can change the input voltage to a different level at the output and can maintain a constant output voltage even in varying load conditions. Almost all electronic devices from your cell phone charger to air conditioners to complex electromechanical device uses a voltage regulator to provide the different DC…
For any electronic product, be it a complex mobile phone or any other simple low-cost Electronics toy, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) is an essential component. In a product development cycle, design cost management is a huge issue and PCB is the most neglected and costlier component on the BOM. PCB costs much more than any other component used in a circuit, so reducing the…
Selecting the right communication medium is usually a very challenging part of the development of any IoT solution. In situations where range beyond that of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is required, options are usually between the LPWAN technologies like LoRa, Sigfox, etc. but while these technologies come with Pro-IoT features like low power and long-range, they are saddled with…
Let's say you are in the final stage of prototyping or have developed a new electronic product and you are thinking of scaling up and selling your product in the mainstream market. While you can easily source the PCB’s, sensors, and other electronic/electrical components, you often stumble getting a casing, especially when the product needs a customized casing or when…
An op-amp plays a very crucial role when it comes to designing circuits with analogue components. But while implementing such op-amp based circuits, there are situations where one or more op-amps are left unused, this causes undesirable behaviour in one or all of those unused op-amps thus impacting total system performance.
To avoid this type of…
The benefits of getting two machines (or components within them), to talk to one another have been an obvious one to Industrial automation and control experts, way before the Internet of Things (IoT) became mainstream. The values in a temperature sensor at the heart of a crankshaft sending measurements to control the motor drive relay etc. was clear, and one of the…
Artificial Intelligence is a revolutionary technology that we all have been well acquainted with for quite some time now. In our previous article, we have already discussed the progress of Artificial Intelligence and understood its outstanding phenomenon and groundbreaking technology that is strongly transforming how business operations take place across various business…
There is a huge demand for lower emissions flights among consumers and airlines, speculations are that electric flights with zero-emission could be closer than you think. While there is a continuous change in the way we commute in roads, various automobile and tech giants are working towards lowering the carbon emissions and manufacturing electric and hybrid-electric…
