SIPEED TEASES TANG NANO SUB 5 FPGA DEVELOPMENT BOARD WITH ON BOARD PROGRAMMER

SIPEED TEASES TANG NANO SUB-$5 FPGA DEVELOPMENT BOARD WITH ON-BOARD PROGRAMMER

FPGA Boards have grown to become one of the “favorites” of the Embedded community. They feature in all kind of applications ranging from automation to DIY Applications, however, typical FPGA boards still cost way more than some other popular boards like the Arduino Microcontroller boards (even though performance is incomparable!). This keeps FPGA boards out

Impact, vibration and ultrasound sensing with PVDF Piezo sensors

This post is about an interesting, low-cost sensor that doesn’t need much processing to use, and has some unique characteristics – a PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) Piezoelectric sensor. The sensors looks like a small strip of plastic, and can be used for detecting movement or vibrations even into ultrasound. Such devices can help sense in many

PiTFT Weather Station

PiTFT Weather Station

More tinkering with the wonderful Adafruit 2.8″ Touchscreen TFT module (PiTFT) for the Raspberry Pi.  This time a weather station drawing data from weather.com. Luckily there’s a wonderful python module to extract data from three popular weather services; python-weather-api supports NOAA, Yahoo! Weather and weather.com.  This makes life so much easier. Download the module and install

PHYSICISTS DEMONSTRATE ATOMICALLY THIN ULTRA FAST ROOM TEMPERATURE LED

PHYSICISTS DEMONSTRATE ATOMICALLY-THIN ULTRA-FAST ROOM TEMPERATURE LED

Graduate researchers at the City College of New York have demonstrated a LED based on half-light half-matter quasiparticles in atomically thin materials. By Julien Happich @ eenewsled.com This is also the first successful test of an electrically driven light emitter using atomically thin semiconductors embedded in a light trapping structure (optical cavity), the researchers claim in
