Meet Agon Light — A Microcontroller and a Microcomputer in One
https://www.electronics-lab.com/meet-agon-light-a-microcontroller-and-a-microcomputer-in-one/
Agon Light is a compact low-cost board that is both a microcomputer and an instant-on, BASIC-programmed microcontroller. The fully open-hardware open-source board sits between being a microcontroller development board like an Arduino and a conventional single-board computer like a Raspberry Pi. It happens to be a very fast, cheap, and the most hackable 8-bit microcomputer […]
Bluetooth based PIR motion detecting application using STM32 board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/bluetooth-based-pir-motion-detecting-application-using-stm32-board/
1. Introduction In this project, we will use a PIR sensor to detect motion. Once motion is detected, it will trigger an interrupt and the BleuIO dongle connected to the board will advertise for 25 seconds. You can expand the project based on your needs further. A PIR (passive infrared) Sensor is an electronic device […]
