I have been blogging on how to make the two seemingly identical LaunchPads distinct, and how to configure Code Composer Studio to recognise them. We still have one weak point: PuTTY.In its standard setup, both the TX and RX terminal ...
Complexity: mediumWhat do you need:two CC1310 LaunchPads Out of BoxCode Composer StudioTI RTOS This blog explains how you can debug two LaunchPads at the same time, on one computer.This is particularly useful for the CC1310, where you try out ra...
When I started looking into what I need to do to build Nupic for the Raspberry Pi, I found that there was a set of instructions for building the software for Raspberry Pi but they were for an older version of the software. When I asked the comm...

The new Raspi3 arrived and - sounds obvious, dude? - I unpacked it. The most interesting characteristics of this new model together with the super-attractive new processor speed is the double network support Ethernet and Wi-Fi and the availability of...
It is difficult playing with the BBC micro:bit keeping an objective view without enthusiasm.As much you go in depth discovering the device features as much it is difficult to find limits in this smart device. Especially trying to think like a 7+ y.o....
It is arrived after a long time waiting: the BBC micro:bit and the 3V battery holder (2xAAA batteries not included).The first impression was incredibly nice: a development board that is at the same time a bare piece of electronics and a nice enjoying...
First of all, I would like to thank Element14 for sponsoring this RoadTest. It's always exciting to try out new products and think of new and interesting ways to put them to use. I plan to road test the Raspberry Pi 3 by creating a &qu...
This blog continues from my original review here RoadTest the Keysight U1282A Digital Multimeter - Review Following some testing using an Android Tablet and Bluetooth connection, I thought I'd see what the PC software offer...
This is my first meter that can perform datalogging and I think it is a powerful feature because when it is needed this ability will save a lot of work. It seems I often need to design new types of sensor Many of these sensors need to be tested...
One of the applications I wanted to include in this road test is capacitance water level sensors because you can get an accurate depth measurement for almost no cost as long as you have a meter that can measure capacitance The Keysight U1282AU1...
This segment of the road test will start exploring some of the applications I want to use this meter for - the real reasons I applied for the road test. I design and assemble a lot of PCBs with surface mount components. Inevitably I end up with ...

This is the second installment in the Keysight U1282AU1282A digital multimeter road test In this segment I am exploring some of the capabilities and procedures that allow this meter to measure component values and DC voltages players.brightcove...
The Keysight U1282AU1282A has just arrived for a road test It has been a long tough week but I wanted to get started on the road test with an unboxing video I intend to add more blogs and video to this review but I will edit this blog to add al...
Before I complete my Roadtest review I thought it worth blogging about my early experiences getting started with this IoT device kit which Cypress refer to as S6SAE101A00SA1002S6SAE101A00SA1002 Background Image Source: http://www.lifeofpi...
I happen to have one of these kits @Cumps Castle, and gave it a first shot.The out of box exercise is a good starter. As usual with Cypress, things just work and the explanations are excellent.Great learning value to be had by the Solar-Powered IoT D...
First of all I would like to thank Element14 Keysight and Texas Instrument for the big opportunity to test these extraordinary pieces of equipment It's long time since the package for the roadtest arrived down my home and since then I have had the op...
