If you have noticed in an office before, you would be probably aware of those RFID cards or Tags that would unlock specific doors depending on your access.Well let’s make a simple NodeMCU RFID reader using the MFRC522 module, and program the NodeMCU to provide access when the right card is detected. This simple example …
Many of our clients face a common challenge when undertaking IoT projects. They are experts in their own fields, and most of of them have a great idea, a proof-of-concept (PoC), or a sophisticated algorithm that addresses some specific need. They have simulated their solution in Matlab or Python and are eager to build and …
In this project we will use an iPhone to control devices connected to an STM32 device. The project is a starting point for more exciting experiments such as remote controlled robots or any other thing you might want to control in your home. I encourage you to check out the source code which is really …
Electrical engineers from the University of California, San Diego recently designed a new portable chip that consumes 5000 less power than the Wi-Fi radios that we have today. The new chip, which is smaller in size compared with a grain of rice, is said to be ideal for IoT devices, smart home setups, and wearables. With just 28 microwatts …

Infineon Technologies AG continues to expand its comprehensive silicon carbide (SiC) product portfolio with 650 V devices. With the newly launched CoolSiC™ MOSFETs Infineon is addressing the growing demand for energy efficiency, power density, and robustness in a wide range of applications. Amongst them are server, telecom and industrial SMPS, solar energy systems, energy storage and battery formation, UPS, motor …
Engineers can shrink their power solution by as much as 80% and maximize efficiency in high-voltage industrial applications with a new high-density, isolated DC/DC bias power supply. Texas Instruments (TI) introduced the first integrated circuit (IC) developed with a new proprietary integrated transformer technology: a 500-mW high-efficiency isolated DC/DC converter with the industry’s lowest electromagnetic interference (EMI), the UCC12050. …
Amazon’s Alexa is cool. USB fans are cool. Alexa enabled USB fan, even cooler. This fan turns on with a voice command to an Amazon Alexa device, “Alexa, turn [insert your name here]’s fan on”. The fan is also set to turn off automatically after 45minutes (adjustable through code). The weather has been hot lately …
Embedded Modules & Design-in Services Advantech, a global leader in the embedded computing market, is pleased to announce ROM-5720, a SMARC 2.0 module powered by the NXP ARM Cortex-A53 i.MX8M processor with excellent graphics performance and low power consumption. The ROM-5720 supports 4Kp60 resolution via HDMI 2.0 and 4Kp60 H.265 decoding with HDR. It features a …
Wireless power transfer systems are well on their way to replacing conventional wired charging. Ranging from tiny biomedical implants all the way to wirelessly recharging huge electric vehicles. An integral part of the research on wireless power is minimizing the magnetic field density. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) provides scientific advice and …
In this project, we will design a simple home automation project using simple components using which different electrical appliances can switched on or off. The project is based on Arduino and we have used Arduino UNO for the project. Description Introduction Nowadays, people have smartphones with them all …

We’re used to seeing all manner of seven-segment displays, be they mechanical, electronic, or something in between. But what all these displays have in common is that they’re, you know, displays. Using them as inputs would just be crazy talk, right? Perhaps, but we like where [Dave Ehnebuske] is going with “InSlide,” the seven-segment input device. …
THE SEVEN-SEGMENT DISPLAY THAT’S ALSO AN INPUT DEVICE Read More »
Smaller is better when it comes to microchips, researchers said, and by using 3D components on a standardized 2D microchip manufacturing platform, developers can use up to 100 times less chip space. A team of engineers has boosted the performance of its previously developed 3D inductor technology by adding as much as three orders of …
