| LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries have a number of advantages compared to NiCd and NiMH batteries. In addition to having a lower weight for t...
| Using rechargeable batteries to power circuits is a proven method for providing energy to mains-independent equipment. A major disadvantage...
| Servos, originating from their application in model building, are usually used to operate arms, feet and other 'tools' of a robot. I...
| Controlling the speed of an asynchronous motor requires a three-phase frequency inverter. The ATAVRMC200 evaluation kit from Atmel is based...
| We’ve used nearly every I/O port of the prototyping board at least once in this FPGA course. We say ‘nearly’ because we haven’t used the Eth...
| In this instalment of the course we’re going to put together our own USB microcontroller. In terms of technical features, it can certainly h...
| A picture is worth a thousand words, which is probably why alphanumeric displays have given way to graphic displays in the latest mobile tel...
| You no doubt have an old PS/2 keyboard gathering dust somewhere. Now you can put it to good use again as an input device for the FPGA protot...
| Every embedded system uses a system bus to transport data between the various components. This also applies to systems implemented in an FPG...
