Embedded Conference Finland is Finland’s only independent embedded technology conference. I took part in the Embedded Conference Finland 2024 few weeks ago. Program Thursday September 26 2024 The morning started with congatec’s presentation, where the topic is the aReady concept announced in the spring. In it, the customer is offered the building blocks of a →
Raspbertty Pi has release a new board: Pico 2. The Pico 2 has Raspberry Pi’s latest silicon, the RP2350. It is available now for $5. Raspberry Pi Pico 2: a RISC-V bet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXF_lVwA8A4 The RP2350 is Raspberry Pi’s second-generation in-house microcontroller design. The Raspberry Pi RP2350 is a major upgrade over the earlier Raspberry Pi →
Depends what you want. I’d go with a microcontroller for starts so you can change it programmatically. I’d bet someone has done it with an Arduino or Pi. Here are some links to interesting looking projects. Those circuits operate mostly at safe low voltages and control low power LEDs. The same ideas can be used →
There are now Arduino simulators for what you will just need a web browser you’re good to go. Leonardo Russo’s ArduinoSimulator is an open-source Arduino Simulator written in JavaScript that runs code directly in your web browser and shows the serial output and digital/analog pins status for various Arduino boards like Arduino UNO R3, MEGA1280, →
Encrypting your hard drive is good security. If you’re running Windows, the most popular system is BitLocker. But how secure it it? Bitlocker runs silently in the background, decrypting data on demand. In a simplified sense, encryption keys are stored in the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Longer description: The data is encrypted using the Full →
MISRA C is a set of software development guidelines for the C programming language developed by The MISRA Consortium. The aims of MISRA C aare to facilitate code safety, security, portability and reliability in the context of embedded systems, especifically those systems programmed in ISO C / C90 / C99. There is also a set →
I wrote a technical article on embedded systems and IoT security to Uusiteknologia.fi magazine: Designing modern electronics+ information security With the latest smart electronics and embedded microprocessors, devices connected to the network can be implemented even better, but even better care must be taken of their data security and protections. This Designing modern electronics article →
The micro:bit is a small, pocket-sized computer board that can be programmed to perform a wide range of tasks, from displaying messages and images to interacting with sensors and creating simple games. Micro:bit programming is designed as an exciting and accessible way to introduce coding and electronics to beginners of all ages. The available languages →
