Now I can use any operating system I want without losing features.

Several of the Mid-Range Enhanced Core PIC16 microcontroller devices have a Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP). The MSSP module can be used to implement either I2CTM or SPI communications protocol.

TI’s MSP430 chips are rather interesting – they’re low power, very capable, and available for under a dollar in most cases. Some of these chips, though, don’t have native SPI or I2C interfaces; ...

The range of high-performance, power-efficient embedded computing modules has never been broader, making it more difficult for developers to find the best fit.

We’re always excited to get a new chip or SIM card to interface, but our enthusiasm is often dampened by the prototyping process. Interfacing any chip usually means breadboarding a circuit, writing ...

The Two-Wire Serial Interface (TWI) is compatible with Philips I2C protocol. The bus allows simple, robust, and cost-effective communication between integrated circuits in electronics. The strengths ...

A few years ago, a friend of mine had problems with his computer. It became unreliable; he would get odd errors, or the system would hang. He re-installed the operating system and his key applications ...

SIMCom has announced two new smart modules that include AI and all the other functions necessary to simply and quickly add AI imaging functionality to a wide range of new applications. Comments Mads ...

Kernel modules are chunks of code that are loaded and unloaded into the kernel as needed, thus extending the functionality of the kernel without requiring a reboot. In fact, unless users inquire about ...
