Embedded electronics technology has been actively and rapidly being developed to transform traditional devices into adaptive and more useful ones. Whether the equipment is an automatic water heater or a GRPS-powered diesel wheelchair, embedded electronics technologies are entering all possible aspects of human life and are being used to improve them.

Once I’ve got several HQM1286404 graphical LCD displays around so I decided to build a prototyping board where I could easily plug LCD to it, read data via ADC and display graphs, plug keypad if needed for some menu functions. Earlier I was testing graphical LCD on prototype breadboard, but dealing with multiple wires (GLCD [...]

The Wellness mobile phone from the Japanese mobile solutions provider, NTT DoCoMo and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation was launched at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC), which was held in Japan on the first week of October this year (2007). According to the company spokesman, the Wellness mobile phone is a device that is [...]

Embedded electronic technology is all around. One may live in a digitized house, ride a car or subway train that has embedded sensors and detectors and work using an integrated company network. One can eat lunch in restaurants or play in amusement centers that have integrated computers, screens and controllers.
Embedded electronics technology is [...]

The development of new tech-based products and systems has given rise to new ways to do business. Moreover, continuous drops in prices of these products and systems as well as their increased versatility have made integration of traditional gadgets possible. Merging devices has resulted to flexible, multi-functional business and/or entertainment systems that are [...]

The autonomous flying ambulance, nicknamed the Mule, is a creation of Rafi Yoeli, who used to work for Boeing and Israeli Aerospace Industries. He later founded his own company, Urban Aeronautics, in Yavne, Israel.
The Mule is the smaller version of another Urban Aeronautics product, the X-Hawk. The former vehicle has been designed for [...]

CTX imaging is an image capture process that integrates the traditional techniques of computed tomography (CT) scanners and X-rays. The system is still in prototype stage and is far from small (at present, it’s still as big as one whole room), but Dr. Elizabeth Brainerd of Brown University, who heads the project, hopes that [...]

RFID introduction
RFID taging technology is successfully used among us, but we don’t notice them always and do not think about them as they are not noticeable because we do not have directly to take any actions to transfer or read any information from RFID tags. But probably everyone notices in big supermarkets, book stores two [...]

There can be any external device that may be connected(interfaced) to microcontroller. They may be for control input like buttons, keypads, touch or for information output eg. display, sound, motor, relay, modem. Also output devices may be further chips like transmitters, frequency generators, memory. Interfacing with chips is not that hard because most of all [...]

The biggest benefit I see when working with pulse soldering iron is speed and effectiveness. Of course when you don’t work, it stays cool this means it saves energy, doesn’t evaporates poisonous steam and there is no risk accidentally to burn yourself. Well this one even has has light source for better view when soldering. [...]
