David Johnson-Davies published another great tiny project. He writes: This project describes a simple low-current meter I devised to check the sleep current of different microcontroller circuits, such as ones based on AVR microcontrollers. It's capable of measuring currents of between...

This breakout board converts Silicon Labs' EFM8UB1 (Universal Bee series) to DIP scale. You can use the USB Type-C cable directly connected. 300mil width DIP16 pin shape (substrate size 27.0 mm × 7.6 mm) EFM8UB10F16G-C (16kBytes flash, 2304Bytes RAM, Internal OSC)...

STM32G0 Entry-level Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MCUs The new STM32G0 Series is not simply another Arm® Cortex®-M0+ microcontroller. It sets a new definition of what an efficient microcontroller must offer. This is all about best optimization, down to each and every detail, to offer the best...

This article describes a set of minimal I2C routines for the new 0-series and 1-series ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers. They allow any of these processors to act as an I2C Master and connect to I2C peripherals. As an example of their use I've designed a digital clock circuit based on...

The MPLAB® Snap In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer allows affordable, fast and easy debugging and programming of most PIC®, dsPIC®, AVR and SAM flash MCUs, using the powerful graphical user interface of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05 or later. The MPLAB...

A volume unit (VU) meter or standard volume indicator (SVI) as it's sometimes called, is a device which displays the audio signal level of an audio signal. It is essentially a basic voltmeter (fitted with transducers to convert sound to voltage) that takes a simple average of the...

There are quite a number of USB development boards available that can be utilized for any number of projects, with the most popular being the ATtiny85 and the Teensy line from PJRC. However, UK-based Webtronics have recently announced their entrant into the USB development board into...

NXP Semiconductors i.MX RT106A Crossover Processor is a solution specific variant of the i.MX RT1060 family of MCUs, targeting cloud-based embedded voice applications. It features NXP’s advanced implementation of the Arm® Cortex®-M7 core, which operates at speeds up to 600MHz...
