The $82 Hacknect ‘looks like a normal USB cable’ and its makers are enjoying a very successful crowdfunding campaign.

A Raspberry Pi can do a lot, but adding an ESP32 gives it the physical reach that small hardware projects often need.

A USB cable is not typically something that raises eyebrows. Most people plug one in and move on. But a Kickstarter device is challenging that assumption ...

MathWorks, the leading developer of mathematical computing software for designing engineered systems, today announced new ...

It’s generally pretty easy to spot a microcontroller on a PCB. There are clues aplenty: the more-or-less central location, the nearby crystal oscillator, the maze of supporting passives, and perhaps ...

The maker of the Raspberry Pi single board computer has released the new Raspberry Pi Pico, a microcontroller board built on Raspberry Pi's own RP2040 silicon. That makes the Raspberry Pi Pico ...

Let’s say you’re working on a project, and you need a microcontroller. Which chip do you reach for? Probably the one you’re most familiar with, or at least the one whose programmer is hiding away in a ...

Many microcontrollers have built-in ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), which means you can use a single device to both digitize analog signals and manipulate the results. Once the ADC digitizes a ...

Selecting the right microcontroller for a product can be a daunting task. Not only are there a number of technical features to consider, there are also business case issues such as cost and lead-times ...

Northern.tech, the leader in device lifecycle management and the company behind Mender, announces today the new release of Mender, including support for microcontrollers (MCUs). Following customer ...
