EmbeddedLab introduces us TI’s Tiva C MCUs


https://www.electronics-lab.com/embeddedlab-introduces-us-tis-tiva-c-mcus/

Shawon Shahryiar @ embedded-lab.com introduces us to Tiva C series microcontrollers from TI. The Tiva C series MCUs are high performance ARM Cortex M4F micros. Now what does that mean? Generally speaking the ARM Cortex M series is meant to be used in place of (or simply replace) regular microcontrollers like PICs and AVRs while […]

DS1307 RTC Module


https://www.electronics-lab.com/ds1307-rtc-module/

The module based on DS1307, The DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially through an I²C, bidirectional bus. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The end of the month date is […]

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 […]

Getting Started with Atmel ATtiny10


https://www.electronics-lab.com/getting-started-atmel-attiny10/

Mahesh @ electronut.in show us how to program these tiny microcontrollers (ATtiny10) with Atmel Studio 7 and make an RGB led to light. I like Atmel tinyAVRs because they are tiny computers that I can (almost) wrap my head around. The Atmel ATtiny4/5/9/10 are the cheapest in the tinyAVR line, and they come in two packages […]
