Review: PaPiRus ePaper Screen HAT for Raspberry Pi

The objective of the PaPiRus ePaper Screen HAT for Raspberry Pi is to make ePaper technology available to anyone, which is why it is a fully open source product with schematics and source code at GitHub. Besides the ePaper display, the HAT also has four pushbuttons, a real-time clock (RTC) and a temperature sensor.

Industry’s smallest multi-output MEMS Clock Generator offers up to 80 percent board space savings on timing components

Microchip announces the industry’s smallest MEMS clock generator. The DSC613 can replace up to three crystals and oscillators on a board, reducing timing component board-space by up to 80 percent. The device eliminates the need for an external crystal by integrating a low-power and high-stability Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) resonator.

Build a UPDI programmer for modern AVR microcontrollers

The latest AVR microcontrollers from Microchip like the ATmega4809, ATmega3209, ATtiny816, and ATtiny1616 are programmed through a Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI). The MKII programmers that many of us have for AVR programming do not support this interface. Luckily, it is possible to build your own from an Arduino and an open-source library. Here is how.

Benefits of using a RadioControlli's module

“Why RadioControlli module?” Because it is a self-contained subsystem that utilizes a standard IC and includes several components required to realize a fully functioning Radiofrequency solution. This type of modules can include crystall oscillator, filters, inductors, capacitors, an antenna connection circuit, and an RF shield.  These modules are calibrated, they are all tested  and certified to the required standard (CE or FCC) .  We can recap all the benefits of a RadioControlli module in one sentence : "Time-to-Market Reduction".
