ElektorEmbedded: April 2012
http://elektorembedded.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Every once in a while something comes along that changes the way you look at things. A project posted last week by Dmitry Grinberg. Was such a thing for me. The project in itself is already pretty strange: porting a 32-bit operating system (OS) to an 8-bit microcontroller lacking most of the features needed to actually run the OS. Why would you want to run Linux on an AVR? 8220;Because you can”, would answer George Obama (or was it Barack Mallory? Way to go Dmitry!

ElektorEmbedded: November 2011
http://elektorembedded.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 28, 2011. A benchmark for development and evaluation kits. The other day a colleague asked me if I was interested in reviewing the TMS570 MCU Development Kit. This is a kit for playing with the TMS570LS20216 ARM Cortex-R4F microcontroller and when I looked at the picture of the kit. Quote end] The TMS570LS20216 has 2 MB Flash memory and 160 KB SRAM. One might be tempted to say that this is a pretty powerful MCU. As a comparison, my Windows XP Pro folder contains 9 GB. To be totally h...

ElektorEmbedded: New products
http://elektorembedded.blogspot.com/p/new-products.html
On this page I keep a list of the articles that are about new products and technologies. LabVIEW, Arduino and Android. SDR soon playing at a university near you. The USRP-2920 from National Instruments. FRAM - true unified memory. FRAM, Texas Instruments MSP430FR57xx, Fujitsu MB95R family. Embedded World 2011 - Cortex-M3 everywhere. Dreams,dreams, dreams. The M24LR64-R wireless EEPROM from STMicroelectronics. Eagle switches to XML. Forget about the hardware and learn C. It's a tactile green embedded world.

ElektorEmbedded: The Laser TV Project
http://elektorembedded.blogspot.com/2012/06/laser-tv-project.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2012. The Laser TV Project. According to the author the main challenge is the phase synchronization of the top plate on which the mirrors are mounted, and the author is looking for interested BASCOM programmers to develop the motor PLL (or a similar software solution). The motor rotates at 750 rpm and must be precisely synchronized to a pulse, which is available once per revolution. Who can help, or who has done something similar with Atmel and BASCOM? Head over to Elektor Projects.

ElektorEmbedded: October 2011
http://elektorembedded.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 27, 2011. The new Wiring S board. In the fall of 2008 I started researching Arduino for an introductory article for Elektor. In that article I wrote that Arduino. Can be seen as a simplification of Wiring. Seeeduino (left) and Wiring S (right). Maybe this is a pre-series problem? Will the Wiring S meet with the same success as Arduino? Hard to say, I guess not, it is probably too late now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I started life embedded in my mother and I’ve been an embedded s...

ElektorEmbedded: Product reviews
http://elektorembedded.blogspot.com/p/product-reviews.html
I use this blog to review products, hardware and software. Since it is not possible to create a separate menu entry for every product, I keep a list of the reviews here including, of course, the links to the articles. A try to get started with Freescale's Kinetis KwikStart kit. The new Wiring S board. The Wiring S board reviewed and compared to Arduino. Everything you always wanted to know about klystrons and traveling wave tubes (but were afraid to ask). By AS Gilmour, Jr. Wireless audio over 2.4 GHz.

ElektorEmbedded: KwikStik? KwikStuk!
http://elektorembedded.blogspot.com/2011/12/kwikstik-or-slowstart.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. The KwikStik comes packed in a nice box and you can see that Freescale has spent some time and effort to deliver an attractive product. In the box you will find a KwikStik in its bizarre orange silicone jacket, a DVD, a USB cable and some instructions. Included also is a warranty card, the first one I get with a dev kit. If the kit is broken, you can send it back. The box promises “ the fastest way to realize your design potential. I mean, what about the DVD? 24 hours later: I...
