Commell the worldwide leader of Industrial Single Board Computers, has launched its Intel’s 8th Gen Coffee Lake based 3.5-inch LS-37L board. This comes after they launched the LV-67X back in August. Just like the LV-67X, the LS-37L board has the same FCLGA1151 socket, that supports up to 6-core, 65W TDP Coffee Lake S-series processors like the 3.1GHz/4.3GHz […]

Process that modifies semiconductor material atom by atom could enable higher-performance electronics. Researchers from MIT and the University of Colorado have fabricated a 3-D transistor that’s less than half the size of today’s smallest commercial models. To do so, they developed a novel microfabrication technique that modifies semiconductor material atom by atom. The inspiration behind the work was to keep up

The official Arduino development team has this week announced a new partnership with Lauterbach to provide all Portenta H7 customers with the TRACE32 debugger for free. The Lauterbach TRACE32 debugger has been at the forefront of debug technology for more than four decades, and it is this wealth of experience and expertise that Lauterbach will

It seems like every year, it gets a bit easier to build your own CNC. From the Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) project of the early 1990s to Arduinos running Grbl in the late 2000s, the open source community has moved ahead in leaps and bounds. Grbl is at its core firmware that interprets G-code and
The ZED-F9P positioning module features the new u-blox F9 receiver platform, which provides multi-band GNSS to high volume industrial applications in a compact form factor. ZED-F9P is a multi-band GNSS module with integrated u-blox multi-band RTK technology for centimeter-level accuracy. The module enables precise navigation and automation of moving industrial machinery by means of a small, surface mounted module. The ZED-F9P

Here, we show how a 7 Bi-color 8×8 LED Matrix Scrolling Text Display is built, in which messages and commands can be sent to it via Bluetooth using an Android Smart Phone. Logically, any devices capable of sending text messages via Bluetooth may be adapted to work with the display. To build this project, basic

MX10 and SpiderSoM modules are outfitted with a USB device interface, applied with PIC16F1454 microcontroller (MCU). On the SoM side the MCU is connected to three interfaces: serial (if the other side is applied inside the FPGA), an I2C bus (connected to the module PMIC, charge controller, RTC and FPGA), and FPGA JTAG programming interface. The 70mm x 35mm modules support Linux Operating System, but currently,
New co-authored paper demonstrates potential ten-fold energy density increase over existing lithium-ion battery technologies. Scientists from Honda Research Institute have collaborated with researchers at California Institute of Technology(Caltech) and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop a new battery chemistry that enables the use of materials with higher energy density and a more favorable environmental footprint than current battery technologies. The
RESEARCHERS DEVELOP NEW BATTERY CHEMISTRY WITH 10X MORE ENERGY DENSITY OVER LITHIUM Continue Reading
Hi all, this is my first instructable documenting the creation of my project, the Arduino UNO BASIC shield which turns the Arduino UNO into a computer running the BASIC programming language. As microcontrollers are essentially low performance computers on a chip (they have a processor, RAM and ROM) they can be used to create small
One thing about microcontrollers that will always be respected, is their ability to consistently provide real-time processing, low power, low cost, and most importantly a lot of I/Os. They excel quite well in those aspects, and in some cases they are indisputable, but when we deal with security and user interface comes into play, this
