Starter Kit is very useful to learn and develop software on ARM. I merged Starter Kit and OEM module information, because all OEM modules supplier will offer corresponding Starter Kit or evaluation board for design startup.

The STi7100 is a single-chip MPEG decoder. This device help you to develop the HDTV-oriented projects. The STi7100 gives high performance for low-cost high-definition systems.

Fancy to know how to: connect a PIC microcontroller (PIC micro) to a TELIT module, set up the GSM Module to handle SMS. And much more.... Looks juicy, so what are you waiting for?

The capacitors are the most used electronic components. According the construction technology and their use they can have different shapes: from big cylindrical containers (electrolytic capacitors) to tiny drops (tantalum capacitors).

A flash memory is an essential component in an electronics device to store code and data. Every designer expects a perfect non-volatile memory to meet their requirements. The electronics devices are growing very fast, so we can find a variety of flash memories. However, the flash memories vary in timing, bus width, protocol, rewrite lifecycle, multi-level capability and native support of microprocessor. So the designers have to study the available products to select a proper device for their applications according to the storage purpose, interface and timing.

I heard once one guy telling one of his friends : "I'd give my right arm to know what's inside this portable device." He didn't know he was already holding an Arm in his hands.... since ARM designs the technology that lies at the heart of advanced digital products, from wireless, networking and consumer entertainment solutions to imaging, automotive, security and storage devices.

Photovoltaic cell Vs photosynthesis process. Let's see what they have in common (if they have something in common).

Are you afraid that your circuit could be damaged by an overvoltage? Include the hardware protection listed in the following paragraphs to protect your hardware!

For an embedded system with USB that requires recharging of Lithium batteries there are many considerations to be made before you can safely, accurately and quickly recharge the batteries.

OLED TV (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes TV) a sci-fi gadget that becomes reality. A very large screen high-definition TV at less than 1/2 cm thickness? A TV monitor that can be rolled up and put into your bag after use? A display device weaved in the sleeves of your jacket? Sounds like sci-fi? Not anymore in a very near future.

This FM audio transmitter or microspy (bug) transmits on the 160MHz band and can be listened through a receiver tuned on this frequency range. Other frequency ranges can be selected for this circuit.

1.General Aspects
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) – represents a periodic square wave signal with a variable duty cycle. Duty Cycle (D) – represents a fraction between the time when the system is on active state (“logic state 1”) λ, and the period of the system T.

PicNET2 allows to develop a DIY domotic network with easy-to-use and cheap devices.
I wanted to make possible the communication between the little devices (the well-known PIC) in a simple, safe and cheap way so the idea was born.

We use the USB mass storage devices everyday, such as USB hard disk, USB stick, USB flash card reader, CD/DVD, mobile devices. Those devices are commonly found in our life, until I got the STM32 evaluation board from a local supplier.

The PIC32 micro development boards are designed for learning how to program PIC32 micro applications and for developing PIC32 micro-based projects. The ready-to-use development kits, with fully integrated debugger, are great for everyone just getting started with dsPIC C-programming (like me!).

The Network-Attached Storage or NAS was designed for the enterprise file sharing services. Now the consumer NAS (Network-attached Storage) has integrated many additional features including BT/eMule downloading, digital media server and video surveillance.

PWM (pulse width modulation) is a cheap method of creating the required analog voltage levels, and even of generating pseudo analogue signals, using purely digital means.

Cache is a small and very fast type of memory. Cache, as a concept, means a type of buffer between the processor and the main memory.

The debugging allows to check the value of variables at various points in the program and to check the routines requested results. MPLAB IDE (Integrated Development Environment) has been created by Microchip and it is an integrated tool-set for the development of embedded applications.
