Always at the forefront of embedded connectivity innovations, FTDI Chip’s latest series of multi-channel USB interface ICs. These have the capacity to deal with next generation power requirements, as larger items of hardware start to make use of the protocol. Available in both 2-channel (FT2233HP) and 4-channel (FT4233HP) versions, the new Hi-Speed (480Mbits/s) devices have serial UART (RS232, RS422 or RS485)
Texas Instruments’ 24-bit, 32 kSPS ADC is optimized for cost-sensitive applications that require simultaneous sampling Texas Instruments’ ADS131M08 8-channel, simultaneously-sampling, 24-bit ΔΣ ADC offers wide dynamic range, low power, and energy-measurement-specific features. These features make the device ideal for energy metering, power metrology, and circuit breaker applications. The ADC inputs can be directly interfaced with a resistor-divider

The daemon hostapd is a Linux service which enables a “host” computer to become a WiFi Access Point (AP).   Thus “host” + “AP” + “d” (for daemon) gives the name hostapd. I originally learned to set up hostapd from instructions on Pastebin written by user Dryfire117,1 andlater found useful instructions on the Raspberry Pi website.2 The process originally involved

Being able to turn a USB-C supply to a variable power supply is certainly a big deal for a simple ingenious board like the ZY12PDN board shared by Keneth Finnegan on his twitter handle recently. The ZY12PDN is a simple STM-powered adapter board that turns a USB-C supply to a universal power supply for almost any electronic device. We know
