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 […]

XOD, Visual Coding For Microcontrollers


https://www.electronics-lab.com/xod-visual-coding-microcontrollers/

XOD is a new visual programming language for microcontrollers launched now. Pronounced [ksəud], this programming language idea was inspired by vvvv,  a hybrid visual/textual live-programming environment for easy prototyping and development which is designed to facilitate the handling of large media environments with physical interfaces, real-time motion graphics, audio and video that can interact with many users simultaneously. Like Code, […]

Cortex-M-based MCUs Set Pace For Automotive Design


https://www.electronics-lab.com/cortex-m-based-mcus-set-pace-automotive-design/

AUTomotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) is a worldwide automotive consortium trying to create and establish an open and standardized software architecture for automotive electronic control units (ECUs). However, as is always the case with industry consortiums and standards, they are not endorsed by all interested parties, and, to complicate matters even more, not all applications […]
