Finally some update on AVR DDS3 signal generator. Circuit is practically done and PCBs are made. I decided to go with two microcontrollers on board to make it more functional. One microcontroller Atmega328P is gonna be dedicated to user interface … Continue reading →
The newly released Arduino Leonardo has a few very interesting features, most notably the ability to act as a USB keyboard and mouse thanks to the new ATmega 32U4 microcontroller. This feature isn’t exclusive to the Leonoardo, as [Michael] explains in a build he sent in – the lowly Arduino Uno can also serve as a [...]
Just a quick note to finalize STM32 flashing topic. As you may know ST also produces his own debugger/programmer called ST-Link. It supports either JTAG and SWD interfaces. You can purchase ST-Link USB adapter but there is a better option. … Continue reading →
Last time we have covered topic about flashing STM32 microcontrollers using bootlaoder. This is easiest and cheapest way of loading programs to MCU memory. But this isn’t the only way of doing this. Software can also be downloaded to using … Continue reading →
Recently I obtained a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 android mobile phone. It was released a year before but it seems to have enough power to run most of apps you can find around. It is powered by Qualcomm MSM7227 ARM11 … Continue reading →
Not every company can easily afford the complete custom software design. There are several reasons for it; however the main one is the drastic tendency of the multiple templates used in this field. The usual templates are meant for different … Continue reading →
My academic background is in mathematics and computer science and I’ve picked up electronics as a hobby along the way, primarily self-taught through excellent books by Forrest Mims, the easy crossovers from math and CS to digital logic and digital design (still my strongest area of electronics), a stubborn willingness to read datasheets, and a [...]
