I heard once one guy telling one of his friends : "I'd give my right arm to know what's inside this portable device." He didn't know he was already holding an Arm in his hands.... since ARM designs
Today GPS is involved in many location based services, more and more mobile equipment are integrated GPS feature inside. This article will cover GPS receiver module design based upon existing chip-set,
Howto interface an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) to the FPGA board. In this post I will give some ideas about interfacing an ADC to the FPGA design. One of the Digilent Inc.'s product is the ADC module
VIDEO CODECs FOR YOUR APPLICATION. Back in the old days when there was only analog video, there was not much concern on transmission bandwidth or storage capacity.
Datasheet on semiconductors, microcontrollers, discretes, passive and more electronics components parts. Datasheets about the most important brands and datasheet related to the obsolete parts.
This article offers open source software (oss) for FAT over MMC SDC. We have many options of open source TCP/IP stack implementations. However we don't have enough choices for open source FAT file system
Linux is a Unix-type operating system which uses the Linux kernel. The name - Linux- comes from the Linux kernel, written in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The system's utilities and libraries usually come from the
The purpose of this article is how to do serial port communication using C#. The serial port of the PC is a very important resource both in industrial environment and in home-made electronics, due to the wide popularity of the UART interface which is to
OpenAVL is an AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location)open source project.The OpenAVL is one of my on-going open source projects. This project is written in ANSI C. The prototype board is made up of a low cost GSM M2M module (MC39i) from Siemens/Cinterion, a GPS
The most popular programming languages for embedded systems are assembly language, C and C++. This article is a presentation for EE Software Development book - a project collection about how to program hardware in high level languages and alternative
Semiconductor applications list: choose the right electronics components for your device! This list includes some development applications from many manufacturers (Fairchild, Renesas, Atmel, Wolfson, NXP, Zetex, Zilog, Microchip, etc). You'll find
A ball control on a touch screen (using a Microchip microcontroller) was realized in a laboratory in Italy. A steel ball was kept at the center of a metallic plate using FLEX board (hosting a microcontroller - see the Datasheet)
FLEX is born as a development board where to easily develop and test real-time applications for the Microchip microcontrollers (Datasheet 2.0). Scilab/Scicos is a code generator for the FLEX Board. Let's see how to control a DC Motor Servo using FLEX
The software trap is a programming feature used to capture an abnormal program running status. The general principle is to setup a trap for software, and redirect from the code out of control to a specified address, and get back to its normal running
