Design considerations for transferring a breadboard prototype to custom PCB
https://www.electronics-lab.com/design-considerations-for-transferring-a-breadboard-prototype-to-custom-pcb/
In Sayanee’s Basu’s video, we can look at the design considerations in the process of taking a breadboard prototype to a custom PCB, from the microcontroller to the various subsystems, to the power, the bootloader, and even how to deal with faulty components. A breadboard can be useful for educational purposes, art projects, and even […]
JPEGDEC is a Faster JPEG Arduino Library Designed for 32-bit MCUs
https://www.electronics-lab.com/jpegdec-is-a-faster-jpeg-arduino-library-designed-for-32-bit-mcus/
For most firmware developers and hobbyists, who have had to write firmware for projects that involve displaying JPEGs on an LCD with an Arduino, one thing that quickly comes to mind is the bulkiness of the libraries and the slow speed at which the images are displayed. While the speed is usually due to the […]
