Texas Instrument’s USB Dedicated Charging Port Controller TPS2514 is specifically designed to implement the charging schemas mentioned below. An auto-detect feature monitors USB data line voltage and automatically provides the correct electrical signatures on D+ and D– data lines. Note that the chip datasheet never mentioned Samsung or Apple in particular apparently due to the copyright issues. […]

MYIR introduces a high-performance and cost-effective ARM SoM MYC-C8MMX CPU Module powered by i.MX 8M Mini which is NXP’s first embedded multi-core heterogeneous applications processors built using advanced 14LPC FinFET process technology. The processor on this module features up to 1.8GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 plus 400MHz Cortex-M4 processor. The module runs Linux, Android OS and is capable of working in […]

In this instructible, I will guide you through the use of the WF32 as an HTTP server that hosts a website that can be used to control servos and a stepper motor. The purpose of this was to create an iPad mount that allowed users to log in from a remote location and point the […]
