Cloom, a reliable wire harness, and cable assemblies manufacturer, today published a “Cloom-Coaxial Cable Assembly Guide.” It has five chapters that cover some useful terms about Coaxial Cable knowledge. "The Cloom R&D team adapts quickly to the changing market needs. The R&D team helps customers in developing the design, advising on the material, developing new products, and ensuring that the essen ...

We have seen various applications of IoT but what about adding the touch to it. In this project, we will add simple touch buttons to the ESP-32 Wi-Fi module. https://youtu.be/C4kWwcpaJFE ESP-32 is a great module to design IoT applications and adding touch to it will make it further smart. Talking about ESP-32, it is a micro-controller designed by Espressif mainly for IoT applications. It is so handy that ev ...

In this project, we handle the output pin of ESP32 for switching and dimming a DC LED lamp using a local Web server.  For a local Web server, we do not need an Internet connection; we can handle everything over Wi-Fi. To make this work, we use additional circuitry, because LED being of high power cannot be directly controlled by ESP32.     Author’s Prototype Material needed to get started 1. ESP32 ...

This post describes Mesa-Video, a low cost, low power, small size and fully Open Source Hardware and Software solution for providing 800×600 digital video for Arduino ( and other ) microcontrollers.  Mesa-Video makes it quick and easy to display text and 24bit color graphics from any MCU using a single UART serial port pin. Applications for Mesa-Video are embedded projects requiring video output and embedde ...

ARM has introduced its highest performance Cortex-M series processor core. The Cortex-M7 retains the same instruction set of the other processors in the Cortex M series, but has been given a six-stage super scalar pipeline architecture which dramatically increases its performance over the previous Cortex-M4. Ian Johnson, product manager at ARM told Electronics Weekly, the performance increase comes from “th ...

Well be sure to watch this informative video hosted by Massimo Banzi, one of the Co-Founders of Arduino. The video explains how to build a basic circuit with the Arduino board, and how to use each of the basic components such as LEDs, switches, and resistors. So if ...

Arduino Tutorial #1 - Getting Started and Connected! In this video I cover the following: * What is Arduino? * What is a sketch? * What is the Arduino (software) IDE (interactive development environment) arduino-1.0.1 * Arduino philosophy * We take a look at the Arduno hardware. * I cover how to download the Arduino Software and drivers and then how to install them. * What happens when the Arduino USB devic ...

What is Arduino? Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controll ...

Arduino + Android Normally smartphone events are tightly coupled to your phone device itself. When your cell phone is ringing, your phone speaker plays a ringtone. When you get a new text message, your phone displays it on its screen. Wouldn't it be thrilling to make thoses phone events visible somewhere else, on your wearable, in your living room, on your robot, in your office or where ever you want it to ...

I show how to use a standard 16X2 LCD display in three different use cases. 1. With an Arduino Uno 2. With a TI Launchpad MSP430 running Energia 3. Directly on a breadboard on an MSP430G2553 running Energia This LCD display is low cost - I paid $2.26, shipped, on Ebay. It uses the standard Hitachi 44780 controller, and has a pretty blue back light. ...
