If you've never heard or used a Click board, now is a great time to check them out.Click Boards from MikroElektronica MikroElektronika invented the Click boards and the mikroBUS standard to which they fit. MikroElektronika makes the claim, "The ...
Electronic designers can leverage worldwide “maker” trend and use off-the-shelf easy-use platforms like Raspberry Pi for IoT demos or for evaluation purposes - at least as a starting point before you select a suitable component and eva board, tools, ...
I'm playing with object oriented firmware for embedded controllers.In this blog I review object oriented callbacks. How to invoke the correct function of the correct object. I've been using the C / C++ mix for a decent time now, with good result...
A crystal lattice of strontium ruthenate reacts to various sound waves sent from resonant ultrasound spectroscopy while the material cools down. The highlighted area suggests that this material could be a new type of superconductor. (Image Credit: Co...
At times it is useful to get activities in your firmware synced up with external events.There are several types of events that are dependent of the speed, frequency, state, ... of something external.In this blog, I'm showing martinvalencia's solution...
Using scan-tunneling microscopy, researchers were able to separate the atom's spin and orbital rotation. Artist rendition of the atom studied under the needle of a tunnel microscope. (Image credit: TU Delft) Researchers at the Delft Universi...
The STM32H7 firmware pack comes with a very nice encrypt / decrypt example.This example uses the STM32 HAL libraries, and configures all periherals in source code.I'm going to replicate the exact same example, using the CubeIDE MX STM32 Device Config...
I'm selected for the STM32H7B3I-DK - DISCOVERY KIT road test.I'm working on a touch screen GUI for my electronic load.I'm going to review the ModelListener today. A software component that takes care that your business logic (electronic lab ins...

Recently, I was selected for Taiyo Yuden Bluetooth®︎ LE EVK RoadTest which is my first experience! Beginning with big thanks to E14, Taiyo Yuden and all supporters. From past few hours I have been on Taiyo Yuden Bluetooth®︎ LE EVK with fresh...
I'm selected for the STM32H7B3I-DK - DISCOVERY KIT road test.I'm working on a touch screen GUI for my electronic load. In this part of the review, I explore the application layer:request data from the business layerdisplay that datau...
I'm selected for the STM32H7B3I-DK - DISCOVERY KIT road test.In this part of the review, I try to mount the extra fan-out PCB and use its UART pins. I'll start with a rant. The fan-out expansion board does not fit. It is not possible that ...
I'm selected for the STM32H7B3I-DK - DISCOVERY KIT road test.In this part of the review, I try to integrate a UART listener in freeRTOS. listen to UART characters arriving from the USB portinterrupt driven, no constant pollinguse HAL and f...
A newly filed patent describes the conscious gate transistors as psychotronically steerable bifurcated nanotube-based, and their use in implementing conscious input and output devices. (Image credit: Jerry Harthcock via GitHub) Back during the ...
I'm selected for the STM32H7B3I-DK - DISCOVERY KIT road test.In this part of the review, I'm writing a first custom handler for a button click. The scenario is simple: you click a button, and that makes a square show up and disappear...
Continued from Pt 1: Screen Works.We left off at the point where the LCD shows out TouchGFX design, but touch screen doesn't work yet.We'll fix that. 5. Add Touch Screen init and handling The two methods in TouchGFX/target/STM32TouchContro...
I'm selected for the STM32H7B3I-DK - DISCOVERY KIT road test.I'm working with the STMicroelectronics software that was in release version at the time I received the kit.Versions:STM32CubeIDE Version: 1.4.1GNU for STM32, 7-2018 -q2 updateTouchGF...
I'm selected for the STM32H7B3I-DK - DISCOVERY KIT.I have just set up a clean CubeIDE install, and also installed the resource packages for this kit.Additional I installed TouchGFX and the standalone Cube Programmer.Versions:STM32CubeIDE Versio...
Goal: Continuously sample an ADC on a single thread microcontroller, with as little as possible CPU overhead.I'm trying to use internal timers and DMA to fill memory with samples, and leaving all processing power for working with that data. ...
