Silicon Labs has released the industry’s first comprehensive network performance results based on large-scale, multicast testing of Zigbee, Thread , nd Bluetooth mesh software. Each mesh networking protocol presents unique characteristics and advantages, depending on the use case and end application. All testing was conducted at Silicon Labs’ Boston design center using the company’s Wireless Gecko […]

Documenting code: use this when you just don’t know what to write
Documenting code is something most people dislike doing. By the time you are done with writing, debugging, testing, fixing and re-testing, you are so sick of it that you just don’t want to look at it anymore. But most of us have already been on the other side of the code: a recipient of some […]
The best (and nearly) free education that you can get…earning $67K to $103K a year in under 3 months
If this sounds too good to be true, it is not: read on. Abe Lincoln was one of those guys that didn’t have a college education but made it to the top as a self-educated man. Back then, you didn’t have to have a 4-year college degree to get a decent paying job. Nearly everyone […]
Gallery: Scenes from the NXP Kinetis MCU wireless day
Chip maker NXP is putting on a one-day seminar in various cities, covering Bluetooth and Thread wireless technology. We sat in on the seminar held at Arrow Electronics in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Here are some of the highlights of that experience. NEXT PAGE: Welcome to the Rigado R41Z
What is machine learning?
Machine learning, as a type of Artificial Intelligence, is typically used to create models with which to analyze data. Machine learning is a programming process whereby instead of coding a program as with traditional computer architectures, the computer is fed from dozens to thousands of sample data sets that demonstrate what will and will not […]
MathWorks “Learn to Program” packs run on Raspberry Pi3, Arduino Uno and BeagleBone Black
Newark element14 is now stocking three new editions of the popular MathWorks Learn to Program pack, for the Raspberry Pi3, Arduino Uno and BeagleBone Black. The packs provide access to all the necessary hardware and software to get started including the board and MATLAB and Simulink Student Suite. The MathWorks Learn to Program pack enables students […]
Trade-offs in Choosing 8-bit vs.16- and 32-bit Architectures
Besides the advantage of higher performance in performing calculations and faster data transfers, what are the advantages of working with an MCU that has a larger bus width? MCUs with higher data bus widths enjoy higher performance in terms of faster operations, often more powerful development tools, more features, and better power efficiency. In general, […]
How to wire a switch to a microcontroller with pullup resistors
If you want a button or switch as an input on a microcontroller (MCU), you can use a “pullup resistor” so that the input is seen as a logical high when the (normally open) switch or button is closed. A pullup resistor is connected to Vcc, or logical high for your input, and therefore “pulls […]
