https://www.electronics-lab.com/lin-protocol-one-wire-protocol-automotive-applications/
With the host of protocols available in electronics interfaces, choosing a protocol is a hard job. Some protocols are designed for long distance and reliable communication applications such as RS-485. Others are used for low cost and short range communication such as I2C, and so on. The backbone car’s network is the Controller Area Network […]
SYNTHETIC SENSORS, All-In-One Smart Home Sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/synthetic-sensors-one-smart-home-sensor/
In the era of Internet of Things, we wanted most of our home appliances to become smart. But currently, smart devices may cost much more than their offline counterparts and they often do not communicate with each other. Trying to overcome these limitations, A Ph.D student invented a way to turn entire rooms into smart […]
EAGLE Autorouter, When & How To Use
https://www.electronics-lab.com/eagle-autorouter-use/
Designing a PCB layout is a work of engineering art, includes placing components and routing them through different layers. So when you assign the same job for different engineers, each one would make it in his own way. But sometimes when working on a complex design some help may be necessary to finish the work. […]
