ONIO.ZERO RISC V MICROCONTROLLER FUNCTIONS ON HARVESTED ENERGY

ONIO.ZERO RISC-V MICROCONTROLLER FUNCTIONS ON HARVESTED ENERGY

ONiO, a Norwegian healthcare-focused Internet of Things (IoT) expert has unveiled ONiO.zero, an ultra-low-power RISC-V-based microcontroller capable of operating solely from harvested energy — without needing a battery, capacitor, or any other means of energy storage. The company says “ONiO.zero is an ultra-low-power wireless MCU that uses energy harvesting technology.” This indicates that the ONiO.zero solely functions on energy harnessed from its surroundings. With […]

ONIO.ZERO MICROCONTROLLER RUNS WITHOUT A BATTERY

ONIO.ZERO MICROCONTROLLER RUNS WITHOUT A BATTERY

It’s becoming quite obvious that traditional batteries are limiting the progress of IoT devices. They are expensive, they contain harmful chemicals and most importantly All-Batteries-Will-Die. Vemund Kval Bakken chief technology officer and co-founder at ONiO say the real problem with the battery approach to IoT comes when you actually consider the battery shelf life as well as the environmental
