Industrial-control applications often use PLCs (programmable-logic controllers) working at logic levels of 24V. That voltage creates a challenge to the safe use of a microcontroller. Such a design ...

The world of microcontrollers has been revolutionized with the introduction of EsPiFF, a reliable Raspberry Pi replacement specific scenarios. This innovative device is designed for applications that ...

The 1-Wire interface is low-cost and effective, but useful only for a very short distance; by using a standard bus-buffer IC, this distance can be extended while creating a convenient interface to a ...

Here’s something very cool from the wonderful world of Adafruit: The Trinket, an Arduino compatible microcontroller platform that’s not only small enough to fit in your pocket, it’s small enough to ...
