If you ever worked with a GPS location module in close proximity with the hardware, you might have an idea about the direction we are taking today, as you had to deal with NMEA strings. NMEA 2000 (or NMEA2K or even N2K) is something among those lines but emphasizes a bit more on the hardware than the former. It intends to …

The masterminds over at Diablo-World have created a really cool Raspberry Pi-powered robot that’s too cool for us not to share. It looks awesome, performs well and comes with a hefty price tag of $3,899 (USD), but it’s currently available at the Direct Drive website for $2,899. This robot has two legs, but it doesn’t walk to get …

1BitSquared has launched on Crowdsupply it’s Glasgow Interface Explorer. The board is said to be designed for hardware designers, reverse engineers, digital archivists, electronics hobbyists, and anyone else who wants to communicate with a wide selection of digital devices with minimum hassle. The board is designed to be attached to the majority of devices without additional active or passive …
Let’s face it — Android wasn’t what most of us had in mind when we imagined having Linux running on our phones. While there’s a (relatively) familiar kernel hiding at the core of Google’s mobile operating system, the rest of the environment is alien enough that you can’t run Linux software on it without jumping …

Ⅰ Overview of Conventional FPGA Design Tools Hardware description languages (HDLs) like VHDL and Verilog became the main languages for defining the algorithms that execute on the FPGA chip over the first 20 years of FPGA development. These low-level languages combine some of the advantages of existing textual languages with the understanding that you are …
