Troubleshooting I2C for Arduino and nRF51822
https://www.electronics-lab.com/troubleshooting-i2c-arduino-nrf51822/
bitknitting.wordpress.com documented his efforts to transmit data over the I2C interface and analyze traffic using a USB login analyzer. The goal of this post is to transmit data over the I2C interface. Confirmation that the data was transferred will be output of the SDA/SCL lines when my Saleae Logic Analyzer is inserted between the I2C […]

Aeroscope – a wireless oscilloscope
https://www.electronics-lab.com/former-agilent-engineers-developing-wireless-oscilloscope/
A pair of former engineers from Agilent Technologies are working on a wireless oscilloscope that will connect to an iOS device for its user interface: The Aeroscope will be a one-channel device where the electronics are in a “pen” form factor. An SMA connector will let you attach mini-grabbers or other probe tips. Analog bandwidth […]
Getting Started with Micro Python
https://www.electronics-lab.com/getting-started-micro-python/
Jacob Beningo has published a tutorial on how to start with Micro Python to build real-time embedded applications. The first step a developer interested in Micro Python must take before diving into a real-time embedded application is to select a supported development kit or microprocessor. The best place for a developer look for a supported development […]
