The calendar app lets you add events to and remove events from your calendar. Like anyone with a smartphone these days, its calendar app keeps us on track by reminding us of special events and those times when we need to be somewhere.
Although we have a paper calendar hanging on the wall, it’s rare that everything gets written there. In these times of COVID-19, this may more likely be a Zoom (virtual) meeting.
In this project article, learn how these Camosun College students built an ESP32 MCU-based device that collects information from paddlers out on the water, and streams data via Bluetooth to an app on the paddler’s phone.One of the questions I get from my wife Beverly on a regular basis is, “You got anything going on?” to which I usually answer, “Let me check my calendar.” This inquiry will be used to make appropriate adjustments for a family supper together, should one of us be going out to a meeting or event. The need for connected smart devices can be found anywhere these days, and that includes paddling sports. The Sonar Echolocation Ranger (SER) is implemented using a Microchip PIC32 microcontroller, which sends out ultrasonic pulses to an analog amplifier and then to a central speaker module.īuild a Smart Paddle Sport Device: Using Espressif’s ESP32 MCUīy Sandy Charlton, Rylen Enger, Dave Hodgson and Miles Krakowec Tickner In this article, learn how these two Cornell students built a biologically-inspired multimode echolocation system that can detect object distances and the rate of change of the surface-normal vector of an object. MICROCONTROLLERS EVERYWHERE DOING EVERYTHING Based on the Arduino Nano, the system is designed to hang in a stable state of levitation while spinning at a constant controllable speed. But Herwig decided to kick things up a notch and build a magnetically-levitating, spinning globe. Mag-Levitated Spinning Globe Project: Arduino-Controlled DécorĪ spinning globe of the Earth is a common enough piece of home décor. ics files work, and details his project using Liberty Basic to develop an app that generates. ics file format allows you to import, export and share calendar entries with other users. Used by all major platforms-including Microsoft, Google and Apple-the. In Part 4, Bob looks at the IPCs available in FreeRTOS and how they stack up against Linux.įUN PROJECT ARTICLES WITH ALL THE DETAILSĬreate a Calendar File Building App: Using Liberty Basic One of the essential elements of an RTOS is a rich set of Inter-Process Communication (IPC) APIs.
This Datasheet section updates readers on these technology trends and provides a product gallery of representative AC-DC power supplies.įreeRTOS (Part 4): FreeRTOS Inter-Process Communicationīob continues his article series about the open-source FreeRTOS. Power supply manufactures are meeting today’s demands with devices designed to suit applications like industrial control, medical and IoT-and even multipurpose needs.
Here in Part 3, he looks at how to handle PCB trace impedance and shares techniques for dealing with high-speed digital signals.
Robert wraps up his article series on how to properly design printed circuit boards. Understanding Proper PCB Design (Part 3): Controlled Impedance Routing Circuit Cellar Chief Editor Jeff Child explores the latest technology trends and product developments in sensors. That’s driven manufacturers of sensors and sensor interface devices to develop highly integrated, high-performance devices. He details the steps to create a minimalistic and functional IoT platform.Īs the IoT phenomenon kicks into high gear, sensor innovations have had to keep pace.
In Part 1 he covers how to setup a virtual server, install the necessary software and setup some required components. In this 3-part article series, Dhairya explains how you can build your own IoT platform. Circuit Cellar Chief Editor Jeff Child looks at the latest technology trends and products relevant to these applications. Transportation systems need sophisticated networking, data collection and real-time control, all while meeting safety standards.
Transportation systems-ranging from railway systems to trucking fleets-are relying on advanced embedded PC technology for both the control side and passenger entertainment side of systems.
