Eta Compute has launched an integrated, ultra-low-power AI Sensor Board, the ECM3532 AI Sensor Board, which has been designed for machine learning at the edge. [via] The board was developed to cut the initial phase of smart sensor development through its TENSAI SoC. The low power ECM3532 AI Sensor Board contains almost every function needed for […]

The ATtiny13 series chips are extremely cheap and useful chips for small projects that don’t need a full Arduino, but due to very outdated tutorials and a lack of information, it took me the better part of a day to figure out how to program these with the Arduino IDE. To fix this lack of […]

Lattice Semiconductor has introduced a new general-purpose FPGA family that has been developed to combine high I/O density, low-power, small packages and fast interfaces. [via] The Lattice Certus-NX series provides up to double the I/O density per mm 2 of similar FPGAs, and provides power savings, a small footprint, reliability, and instant-on performance. Devices in the family support […]

irect Insight has introduced a QSMP Solder-down module featuring the STMicro ST32M1 single/dual core ARM Cortex-A7 processor. The module has been manufactured by the Direct Insight’s partner, Aachen-based Ka-Ro Electronics. The SOM has been built around an ST32M1 family processor that is powered by a single or dual 650MHz ARM Cortex-A7 core, which is supported by a […]

After this Instructable you should be able to program an A Ttiny85/45 with an arduino. It may sound complex but it really isn’t. After doing some research I could not find to much info on how this could be done. I however did find https://www.instructables.com/id/Program-an-ATtiny-with-Arduino/. This Instructable is my interpretation of what I learned from Randy.  Step […]

Salland Engineering delivers over 28 years of services to develop and build custom ATE instruments for the semiconductor industry. CEO, Paul van Ulsen said; “Building high density instruments is always about finding the right balance between performance, density/throughput within the right available power and cooling at the right cost per channel.“ To address these challenges, […]

This example code and simple wiring demonstrated how to setup an AVR ATtiny85 processor to react to external interrupts. Whenever the voltage changes on the chosen input pin (pin 6 / PB1), it executes the interrupt service routine (ISR), checks the current voltage, and sets the output pin (pin 3 / PB4) to match. This […]

o celebrate OEMsecrets’ 10 Year Anniversary this month, the price comparison search engine for electronic parts has partnered with Digilent to give away 2 x Digilent development boards worth over $500 each. Digilent is a leading manufacturer of FPGA development boards and microcontrollers serving students, universities, and OEM’s worldwide with technology-based educational design tools. This prize […]

WIN Enterprises, Inc., a leading designer, and manufacturer of embedded x86 motherboards and appliances for electronic OEMs announce the MB-50050 a mini-ITX SBC to serve as the basis for a flexible, general-purpose IoT gateway or factory process-monitoring work station. The board features a 9th/8th Gen Intel Core processor for high performance, factory-process visualization support, and communications […]

A while back, I posted up a quick and dirty “el cheapo” method of getting started programming the Atmel AVR series chips: Ghetto Programmer (version 1.0) Since then, I’ve vamped, re-vamped, and otherwise improved my setup. Thought it’d be nice to document it. The goal was to get a flexible, compact, portable, use-anywhere, AVR-based microcontroller prototyping […]
