Dear friends welcome to another tutorial! Today we are going see how to build this low-cost real-time clock and thermometer with a color TFT display using CircuitPython on a Raspberry Pi Pico board. 6 years ago, I built a similar project using an Arduino Uno board and the Arduino IDE. Now that new, much faster …
Alibaba has provided more details on its first RISC-V-based product; A 16-core RISC-V processor called the XT 910. As at the time of its release in July 2019, not much was said about the XuanTie 910 except that it was targeted towards the high-performance end to end 5G, AI, and autonomous driving applications. But during the virtual Hot …
SiTime Corporation, a leader in MEMS timing, has announced the launch of the Cascade family of MEMS clock ICs for 5G, wireline telecom and datacentre infrastructure. The SiT9514x clock-system-on-a-chip (ClkSoC) family, consists of clock generators, jitter cleaners, and network synchronizers that are able to deliver multiple clock signals in a system. This family uses SiTime’s …
Most microcontroller implementation these days, use the traditional capacitor + crystal approach to generate their clock, this approach sometimes, however, lead to problems, especially when used in prototyping situations with a breadboard, jumper wires, etc., all of which have an (unknown) inherent capacitance that could lead to the clean 8 or 16MHz signal we desire, …

Toradex is now bringing Torizon, its easy-to-use industrial Linux software platform, to its System on Modules (SoMs) based on the i.MX 8X applications processors from NXP®. Toradex offers the i.MX 8X-based SoMs in two form factors: the small Colibri iMX8X and the powerful Apalis iMX8X, with optional ECC memory. Toradex was among the first few partners to be part …
When working on projects with computation-intensive routines and (or) near real-time performance requirements, having a “lightning-fast” RAM is usually a good thing for developers. This is one of the reasons while STMicro included the Core Coupled Memory (CCM) RAM in a good number of its STM32 microcontroller series, and Dim Tass recently demonstrated how to use it, in a blog post …

Many of us learn to read clocks at a young age, however, talking clocks eliminate the need to do that entirely. [Alberto] whipped up one of his own, in this case designed with some Halloween holiday spookiness. A basic clock movement is used to display the time in the typical fashion. However, the movement also features …

I. Summary The smart alarm clock is an open-source project about building and programming an Internet of Things alarm clock. The following project provides all information you need to build the smart alarm clock. The IoT Smart Alarm Clock has text to speech synthesizer, three ways of wake-up sound, set alarm via smartphone or any other …
Oftentimes in computing, we start doing a thing, and we’re glad we’re doing it. But then we realise, it would be much nicer if we could do it much faster. [Ricardo de Azambuja] was in just such a situation when working with the Raspberry Pi Zero, and realised that there were some techniques that could …
