Freescale introduces worlds smallest integrated tire pressure monitoring system

Freescale introduces world’s smallest integrated tire pressure monitoring system

Freescale Semiconductor today introduced the FXTH87 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) family, which is the smallest integrated package TPMS solution available at an extremely light weight of 0.3 grams. The FXTH87 family is 50 percent smaller than competing products, helping designers reduce overall bill of materials costs. Freescale’s newest TPMS system-in-package solution provides low power […]

ZERO plus Prototype your IOT product in seconds

ZERO plus Prototype your IOT product in seconds

What we wish to achieve? Technology makes a better world ! We believe ZERO+ can turn great ideas into reality because with ZERO+, you can develop your smart device including hardware, cloud service and user application within just one hour. Traditionally, to develop your own smart device, you would need to go through hardware, embedded system, could service and mobile application development. This not only is time and resource consuming but also often needs a huge team to achieve. However, with zero+ now everything is changed. ZERO+ offers an all in one solution that includes hardware, embedded system, cloud service and user application. Now, you can truly bring your imagination to life within only one hour. ZERO+ is designed for both individuals and teams, so anyone from makers to startup companies can join in this family of hardware development. Any prototype made with ZERO+ can easily be manufactured in large scale. We are looking forward to seeing lives with all sorts of connected hardwares we develop because it is going to make the world a smarter, healthier and more convenient place. The only limit is up  to  your imagination. ZERO+ , a smart open-source wifi module that you can use it in : Security alert/thermostat/door lock/control of light, irrigation system and any type of home automation from daily application to industrial use. Chipduino 1.0 (the most concise arduino) Chipduino  is an expansion module for Zero+. It is a

Power Conversion Options for Energy Harvesting IoT Nodes

Power Conversion Options for Energy Harvesting IoT Nodes

Environmental energy harvesting is a possible source of power for Internet of Things (IoT) sensor nodes but needs careful management. Unless harvesters based on solar or thermal technology, for example, are designed to be compatible with conventional circuits, DC/DC converters need to be optimized for low-voltage inputs. Sensor nodes for the Internet of Things often

Digital blood pressure meter design using PIC microcontroller

Digital blood pressure meter design using PIC microcontroller

This Application Note from Microchip provides a reference design for building a non-invasive blood pressure meter using the PIC24FJ128GC010 microcontroller and MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier. A digital blood pressure meter measures systolic and diastolic pressures by oscillometric detection. Microchip’s digital blood pressure meter demo can measure blood pressure and pulse rate during inflation. The Measurement While
