The Fourier Analysis –The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Method


https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/the-fourier-analysis-the-fast-fourier-transform-fft-method/

Introduction The Fourier Transform is a mathematical technique that transforms a time-domain signal into its frequency-domain representation. In other words, it decomposes a signal into its frequency components. The result is called the spectrum of the signal. Historically, the Fourier analysis concept developed slowly, from the Fourier series method 200 years ago up to the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) computing method today. Essentially, the Fourier decomposition was […]

Adafruit released a newer and smaller ATtiny programmer – UPDI Friend


https://www.electronics-lab.com/adafruit-released-a-newer-and-smaller-attiny-programmer-updi-friend/

If you have ever programmed an AVR microcontroller with a USB to serial adapter, you should know how it sometimes gets messy with all the data and power wires. Therefore, Adafruit created a UPDI programmer tool that can program newer tinyAVR and megaAVR chips with only 3 wires! What is UPDI? UPDI stands for Unified […]
