At some point when developing embedded applications, you’re going to want to store unique values in non-volatile memory, values that can’t be fixed at compilation time. Many microcontrollers have a …read more Continue reading Kved: An Embeddable Key/Value Datastore
TFT technology might be ancient news for monitors and TVs, but it’s alive and well when it comes to hobbyist electronics and embedded devices. They’ve now become even easier to …read more Continue reading Universal TFT Display Backpack Helps Small Displays Shine
By now most of us are familiar with the Arduino platform. It’s an inexpensive and fairly easy way into the world of microcontrollers. For plenty of projects, there’s no need …read more Continue reading Electronic Dice Is Introduction To Microcontroller Programming
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is one of the best ways to keep networked computers synchronized to the same time. It’s simple, lightweight, and not only allows computers to maintain a …read more Continue reading Network Time Protocol on the ESP32
When you’re hooking up hardware to a network, it can sometimes be a pain to figure out what IP address the device has ended up with. [Bas Pijls] often saw …read more Continue reading Easy Network Config For IoT Devices With RGBeacon
[aleaksah] got himself a Mi Smart Kettle Pro, a kettle with Bluetooth connectivity, and a smartphone app to go with it. Despite all the smarts, it couldn’t be turned on …read more Continue reading Dumping Encrypted-At-Rest Firmware Of Xiaomi Smart Kettle
Most of us are familiar with virtual machines (VMs) as a way to test out various operating systems, reliably deploy servers and other software, or protect against potentially malicious software. …read more Continue reading Tiny RISC Virtual Machine is Built for Speed
Texas Instruments is best known to the general public for building obsolete calculators and selling them at extraordinary prices to students, but they also build some interesting (and reasonably-priced) microcontrollers …read more Continue reading Flashing TI Chips with an ESP
Coin cells are great for backup power for things like real-time clocks, or even for powering incredibly small mechanical devices like watches. But for something like a data logger, running …read more Continue reading Careful Cuts Lets Logger Last a Year On A Coin Cell
Often, reprogramming a microcontroller involves placing it in reset, flashing the code, and letting it fire back up. It usually involves shutting the chip down entirely. However, [bor0] has built …read more Continue reading ESP32 Virtual Machine Lets You Change Programs On The Fly
