Embedded Technology and Human Lifestyle 2007-11-30 08:14:31 The prevalence of embedded electronics technology in the modern market has given rise to innovative products that could change the way people live. From innovative everyday stuff such as integrated home entertainment systems to intelligent helicopter rotor blades, embedded electronics technology is covering all facets of modern day living and is making life faster, easier and more convenient for people.
Transforming Communication
Embedded electronics technology is rapidly changing the way people communicate and transmit data and information. New designs of parts and systems are being made to make tech-based products like cellular phones cheaper and more efficient. Today remote execution of tasks and activities (like company monitoring and quality assessment) can be done securely using embedded electronics. Wireless integrated work stations are also being implemented in many office establishments. (more…) Read more:Technology
Embedded Technology and the Modern Market 2007-12-07 05:36:07 Embedded electronics refer to devices that can be "embedded' into something. They are add-ons that increase the functionality of the device in which they have been integrated. Embedded electronics can do more and in the near future it can change the way people sell products and handle business.
The Importance of Technology
in Business
To maximize profits and to increase production but, at the same time, to maintain a competitive price, industries from all sectors of the market rely on technology to reduce the cost incurred during business operations. Modern
technology could maximize production and profit by freeing people from repetitive and laborious work and put them in places where their skills and intellect would matter. Technology makes it possible to mechanize and accelerate production, lower the cost, reinforce control mechanisms, speed up delivery, and make goods and services available to more people. These advantages also mean better, cheaper and safer products and se Read more:Market
AVR DDS signal generator V2.0 2008-03-10 08:42:48 Finally second and improved AVR DDS signal
generator is here. First AVR DDS V1.0 generator was only an attempt of running DDS algorithm without any amplitude control. This time I still wanted to keep things simple like minimum count of widely accessible components circuit, single sided PCB that comes together with good functionality.

Embedded Systems: microprocessors and microcontrollers 2008-02-27 04:39:21 An embedded system is a type of computer that can perform a few specialised tasks. This design is contrary to the normal computer that is designed to perform a number of operations that are in many cases unrelated to each other. Embedded systems are present in many of the devices that are used today and [...] Read more:Systems
Better performance with AVR XMEGA microcontrollers 2008-02-26 07:20:49 It seems that ATMEL do not want to limit the AVR branch with 20MIPS AVR microcontrollers. Recently they introduced new AVR microcontroller family - XMEGA - which is still based on AVR core but has a higher performance along with low power feature. AVR microcontrollers are really optimal where high performance is needed with relatively [...]
Encoding and modulation of digital signals 2008-02-25 07:26:09 We know that digital signals are stored as binary numbers in memory cells. Let’s see how these digital signals can be transferred in other words - how they can be encoded in to electrical signal shape. When signal has to be sent it has to be modulated.
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
Probably simplest and most common modulation [...]
Easy to follow guide on making PCB by using photo etching method 2008-04-15 04:24:03 Still struggling with various PCB making
technologies and cannot do it right, you should try Photo Etching method
which is becoming more and more common among radio amateurs. All materials needed are easily accessed. Probably the hardest part is to obtain UV light source. But you can find tons of sources on the internet how [...]
New WinAVR 20080411 has been released 2008-04-16 08:02:55 Open source rocks isn’t it? Here is a new WinAVR 20080411 release available for download. As always new release has lots of tweaks, bug fixes and optimizations. There are new XMEGA series microcontrollers preliminary included in supported device list. So we may have a chance to put hands on these new cool AVR microcontrollers. Here [...]
USB bootloaders for AVR microcontrollers 2008-04-24 07:56:20 Probably most proper microcontroller programming method is using a bootloader program. Because you don’t need any special programming adapters or special knowledge - you just need to connect standard cable from your PC to target board and run special program on PC which communicates with MCU bootloader program. The idea is simple:
If microcontroller is preconfigured [...]
Transform Your Home Into Space Exploration 2008-04-29 03:15:38 Every time I watch the space invader and those cool space wanderer that landing on the moon and wandered around it, this made me felt excited.
If you never tried to create a house wanderer by yourself believe me, this is fun experience.
What to make one for yourself?
No problem but you needs to prepare these materials [...] Read more:Exploration

Bizzare Intermittent Wind Powered Generator 2008-04-30 02:19:02 As the global fuel price keeps rising like a rocket, it is always a pleasure to find some alternative power supply.
The wind energy can be considered as one of the clean, eco-friendly and free energy. The main problem is natural wind did not always blow at the same speed and this will gradually affected [...] Read more:Generator
DIY unique PCB Drill 2008-05-04 16:33:41 This PCB drill is made of wood and looks really cool. Wouldn’t mind to have one on my table. Design is very unique
- it uses various custom made parts, motors from old printers and VCR’s. Author even simulated all design code on a Labcenter’s Proteus VSM.
“Made from Dremel drill and drill press. I removed [...] Read more:Drill
Yet Another Simple AVR ISP cable 2008-05-05 16:49:25 Probably this programmer cable can be found on every AVR fan website. It very simple and easy to build. You just need few passive components that can be packed inside LPT connector. From my perspective I wouldn’t recommend using this one programmer if you are more serious in microcontroller projects, because it has poor computer [...] Read more:Simple

Voltage references in embedded design 2008-05-08 16:21:17 Embedded systems that are dealing with DAC require a good voltage references
. Despite all voltage references have their nominal values there are specific tolerances that indicates how much values can vary from nominal value. References as a rule are semiconductors that characteristics are effected by temperature.
For instance if we decide to use a 2.5V voltage [...] Read more:design
