The BlueNRG-M0 is a very low power network processor module for Bluetooth® low energy v4.2. The BlueNRG-M0 is an easy to use Bluetooth® low energy master/slave network processor module, compliant with Bluetooth v4.2. The BlueNRG-M0 module supports multiple roles simultaneously, and can act at the same time as Bluetooth low energy sensor and hub device. […]

Many years ago (September 2009) I made a simple bench power supply using an LT1083 7.5A linear regulator with adjustable output voltage designed to be used with a 19.5V 3.42A laptop power supply. It still works fine after years of abuse, but my choice of output power connectors was poor (3 pin headers, the sort […]

More patents for bicycle improvements have been issued than for any other machine. It is no wonder that the simplest of mechanical devices invites constant tinkering. If you do a search for speedometers for bikes you can come up with the old style mechanical contrivance with a gear driving a cable into a solid style […]

Silicon Labs has introduced a new range of integrated, secure Wireless Gecko modules which make it easier to add robust mesh networking connectivity. By Ally Winning @ eenewsembedded.com MGM210x and BGM210x Series 2 modules support Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth mesh, Bluetooth Low Energy and multiprotocol connectivity. The xGM210x modules are pre-certified for North America, Europe, Korea and Japan, minimizing the […]

With the advent of IoT and the proliferation of connected embedded devices, one of the biggest challenges in developing competitive IoT solutions is the ability to bring intelligence at the Edge of the IoT networks. Edge computing is crucial in IoT applications as it paves the way for faster real-time inference by embedding computation capability in on-premise […]

XYNX (pronounced ikz-sync) is being launched on Crowdsupply by Fairwaves. it is based on the success of the Octopack SDR (software-defined radio) and the feedback the firm received from the original Octopack users. It is designed for situations or use cases that involve large band of spectrum monitoring or massive MIMO system and it comes […]

Last year 2016 I altered my garden and planted some new stock. Half way through the growing season I noticed that the right hand Carnation had grown far more vigorously than its twin only 20” away. The only differences to the plants was that a solar powered battery light had been placed by chance to […]

Microsoft has announced a $249 “Vision AI Developer Kit, aimed at AI edge developers using Azure IoT Edge and Azure Machine Learning. The kit features an 8MP, 4K camera which runs Linux on Qualcomm’s 10nm, AI-enabled QCS603 SoC. The Vision AI Developer Kit incorporates Qualcomm’s Vision Intelligence Platform, which is infused into its QCS603 SoC, with Microsoft’s Azure IoT Edge service, built on […]

Automotive lighting as an important safety and popular design feature in vehicles has evolved rapidly in the past years. Now, Nichia Corporation and Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) start a collaboration to add further momentum to this evolution. Together, they are developing a high-definition (HD) light engine with more than 16,000 micro-LEDs for front light applications. Unlike current […]

Texas Instruments’ power-path management solution features 20 mA termination and 1 A boost operation Texas Instruments’ BQ25619 integrates charge, a boost converter, and voltage protection in a single device. It offers ultra-low termination current for switching chargers to charge wearable devices by full-battery capacity. The BQ25619 low quiescent current reduces battery leakage to 6 µA in ship-mode, which conserves […]
