https://www.electronics-lab.com/microzed-powerful-low-cost-arm-fpga-linux-development-board/
MicroZed is a low-cost development board from Avnet, the makers of the $475 ZedBoard and the entry level MiniZed development boards. Its unique design allows it to be used as both a stand-alone evaluation board for basic SoC experimentation or combined with a carrier card as an embeddable system-on-module (SOM). The MicroZed processing system is […]
PulseRain M10 – FPGA Development board is Arduino compatible
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pulserain-m10-fpga-development-board-arduino-compatible/
Over the years FPGAs have become readily available to the maker community. They are now more accessible than ever as many development boards has seen the light. It’s now possible to embed a soft-core MCU into an FPGA rather than using a hard-core ASIC MCU and here is where PulseRain comes into play with an […]
Programming the ATtiny10 using Arduino IDE
https://www.electronics-lab.com/programming-attiny10-using-arduino-ide/
David Johnson-Davies @ technoblogy.com has a nice guide on how to program ATtiny10 6-pin mcu using the arduino IDE. Programming is done using the widely available USBasp programmer from Thomas Fischl. Examples are also included on the guide. Unlike the SPI protocol used to program the larger AVR chips, such as the ATmega328 in the […]
Ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontrollers
https://www.electronics-lab.com/69768-2/
Developers can implement simple sensing functions with TI’s lowest-cost microcontroller family Texas Instruments (TI) on November 10, unveiled its lowest-cost ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontrollers (MCUs) for sensing applications. Developers can now implement simple sensing solutions through a variety of integrated mixed-signal features in this family of MSP430 value line sensing MCUs, available for as low as […]
STMicro Introduces 20 Cents MCU in 8-Pin Package
https://www.electronics-lab.com/stmicro-introduces-20-cents-mcu-8-pin-package/
STMicro has launched STM8S001J3, a new 8-bit micro-controller that sells for $0.20 per unit in 10k quantities. STM8S001J3 is also the first STM8 MCU offered in 8-pin package (SO8N), and should compete with some of the Microchip Attiny or PIC12F series micro-controllers. STM8S001J3 has small package and little number of pins, but still it embeds […]
PICKit 3 Mini
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pickit-3-mini/
Reviahh has published a new project, the PICKit 3 Mini: Previously, I made a Pickit 3 clone – (see previous blog post). It works well, but I have often wondered just how little of its circuitry was needed to program and debug the boards I make. For instance – I primarily use the newer 3.3V PIC32 […]
