Making an Arduino shield can be simpler than you think. This time I designed one to program Attiny and Atmega microcontrollers, that way I don't have to use a breadboard and make the wiring to program ...

In the long history of work boots, only a few are truly iconic. In that regard, respect is certainly owed to the likes of the Red Wing Classic Moc and Dr. Martens 1460. But there’s another that stands ...

Abstract: De facto RFID reader design architectures typically involve the fusion of a proprietary SoC (solution on chip) with a low cost microcontroller. The SoC market offerings generally provide an ...

It’s time to give Big Tex a new pair of boots! The 2026 Big Tex Boot Design Contest kicks off on Wednesday, Oct. 22. The contest, presented by Lucchese, gives State Fair fans the chance to design the ...

Microcontrollers are one of the main digital components that we cover in Electronic Design. Personally, I love to work with micros because it's easy to understand the features and capabilities as well ...

Apple has largely stuck with the same iPhone design since the iPhone 11 debuted in 2019, but change is afoot in Cupertino. While the iPhone 17 may resemble iPhones of the past few years, there's an ...

The microcontroller socket market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% from 2025 to 2035, increasing from USD 1,423.3 Million in 2025 to USD 2,748.1 Million by 2035. The ...

Let’s not beat around the bush. One of the lowest priorities for your embedded system is security. Most teams are pressured to deliver fast, and while securing your microcontroller-based IoT device is ...

The M.2 slot is usually used for solid-state storage devices. However, [bitluni] had another fun idea for how to use the interface. He built an M.2 compatible LED matrix that adds a little light to ...

The RP2350 has a few advantages over its predecessor, one of which is the ability to load firmware remotely via UART, as [Thomas Pfister] has documented on his blog and in the video below. [Thomas] ...
