Use a Comparator or Op-Amp to Simplify Light Dependent Resistor Output
https://www.electronics-lab.com/use-comparator-op-amp-simplify-light-dependent-resistor-output/
If your project calls for light sensitivity, it’s hard to beat light dependent resistors (LDRs), also known as photoresistors. They’re available for a few cents each, and their resistance varies based on how much light they receive. In the dark, these devices produce resistances in the megohm range, and can fall to hundreds of ohms […]
Taking Advantage of Embedded FPGA (eFPGA)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/taking-advantage-embedded-fpga-efpga/
By Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, Inc. Whether you are designing an SoC, MCU or other chip, the one common heartache is “freezing RTL.” Up until that point, it’s no problem making a change or update, but once it’s frozen, the chip design is “locked in.” A change after that point could require a […]

In the last few years, we have seen a lot of love poured towards the hardware ecosystem especially hardware related to the Internet of Things applications (hardly would you find any board that doesn’t have one or two IoT offerings). Some boards give basic IoT functionality like providing you with a basic IoT connectivity interface with no […]

The third revision of the Raspberry Pi can best be summed up by the old adage of more of the same. A faster processor and Power over Ethernet capability were advertised – OEMsecrets tells you what you need to know. Raspberry Pi’s are always sold via the ecosystem. This is a promise which the foundation, […]
