Arduino has announced its latest product, the GIGA R1 Wi-Fi, a microcontroller board designed for advanced projects that require high computational power, connectivity, and security features. The GIGA R1 Wi-Fi has the same form factor as the popular Arduino Mega and Due boards, offering...

European computer company Olimex Ltd. has created Agon light a budget-friendly microcomputer and microcontroller on one small board. Bernardo Kastrup designed the AgonLight and the Quark firmware was developed by Dean Belfield. The module is the cheapest and fastest 8-bit microcomputer...

Due to the lockdowns that happened in 2020, the industry currently is facing a huge semiconductor shortage. The crisis has led to a major price increase and shortage queue for graphic cards, processors, and other products that require semiconductors. In such times the only solution is...

Earlier this month, NXP Semiconductors announced the launch of its new specialized MCX N microcontrollers, which includes a specialized, NXP-designed NPU for high performance and low power intelligence at the edge. As they call it, NXP MCX N94x and MCX N54x are new to their N series...

Agon Light is a compact low-cost board that is both a microcomputer and an instant-on, BASIC-programmed microcontroller. The fully open-hardware open-source board sits between being a microcontroller development board like an Arduino and a conventional single-board computer like a...

1. Introduction In this project, we will use a PIR sensor to detect motion. Once motion is detected, it will trigger an interrupt and the BleuIO dongle connected to the board will advertise for 25 seconds. You can expand the project based on your needs further. A PIR (passive...

NXP Semiconductors has announced a series of microcontrollers that addresses developer requirements for enhanced scalability, security, simplified system design, and optimal capabilities for an array of IoT, edge ML, and industrial automation use cases. The latest addition to the...

In recent years Atmel has been producing and releasing AVR microcontrollers that are equipped with a new set of peripherals. These microcontrollers use the AVR instruction set and open source AVR-GCC compiler that is used with the general AVR microcontrollers but they are differently...
