In these post I will note down my impressions about the components of the kit I used in my project, namelyMSP430FR4133 LaunchPad Development Kit (MSP-EXP430FR4133MSP-EXP430FR4133)TPS92512 Buck Regulator MSP430FR4133 LaunchPad Development Kit (MS...
This is my proposal for the LED Road Test+ sponsored by element14, Texas Instruments and Würth Elektronik - in case people are curious about what it took to get selected as a participant: LEDs have long been an interest of mine, in fact my first...
After introducing the structure of a camera-based Android application, let’s have a look at the algorithms implemented to decode VLC data smoothThe smooth function applies a moving average to the data captured by the camera according...
While I am working on the PCB of my Smart Headlight circuit design, I got the sparkling idea about thermal protection for Würth Elektronik's LEDs. Würth Elektronik's LEDs has thermal pad contact on their high bright LEDs to control heat dissipation, ...
It took a while for me to post my blog... just had to face some issues and The Christmas celebrations. I have managed to do my schematics of my Smart Headlight circuit. The 3.3 voltage, GND and ADC channel 8 goes through the ST1 scre...
The TDC1000-TDC7200EVMTDC1000-TDC7200EVM evaluation module has 4 main partsThe TDC1000 analog front-end and a pre-programmed MSP430 microcontroller on the board, a 1MHz Piezo Ceramic sensor that plugs into the board and a GUI client for on your...
This is an almost 100% off-topic blog in the TI Ultrasonic Sensing RoadTest series. I'm going to create a KiCad component for the TDC1000 with the KiPart utility. Creating a 28 pin component takes quite some click-and-navigate work with th...
The receiver of the data encoded and transmitted by the MSP430 LaunchPad will be decoded by an Android smartphone running a dedicated appThe app basically captures camera frames in preview mode and analyzes data.In this post, I will talk a litt...

This blog shows the Vehicle Situational Awareness System installed on a vehicle and operating both at night and in the daytime.This picture shows the extra LED illumination panel plus the reversing-view video camera (to the left) and the ultrasonic d...
The background bitsThe proposal for this roadtest plus was written around the TI TPS92512 which is an LED Driver Buck converter. The idea was to design a 4Channel Lighting solution along with a variety of LED panels. In addition to RGB Lighting Panel...
The maple leaf is a pretty special symbol here in Canada, so I thought I would make one for our Christmas tree and have it internally illuminated by a BLE LED module. The BLE LED module from Texas Instruments can be controlled by an iphone to emit an...
