Hardware engineers don’t always stay in the lab. Sometimes they work from home, or they need to test equipment that cannot be brought into the laboratory. In those situations, a …
SPICE simulations are the tool of choice for engineers when designing analog or mixed-signal circuits. Multisim Live from Digilent as browser-based simulator makes this task easy and with the Analog …
Data rates on serial and parallel transmission lines are increasing rapidly. So are the data integrity issues developers face. Eye diagrams make their life easier. Higher data rates in telecommunications …
Imagine you have just a few measurements left before you can hand over your latest project to your sales team so that they can present it to potential customers. But …
In this last installment of our four-part blog series about creating a smart lamp, we will bring everything together. The HAL for the WaveForms SDK we developed in the Part …
In this third issue of our four-part blog post series covering the creation of a smart LED-lamp, we are designing the Android app controlling brightness and state of the LED. …
This is the second installment of a series of four blog posts explaining how to design a smart RGB-lamp. If you are interested, you can find Part 1 here. By …
This is the first part of a series of four blog posts where we will design a smart RGB-lamp which is powered by a battery and controlled through an app …
Implementing Predictive Maintenance with Raspberry Pi Industry 4.0 is making its way into the world of mechanical engineering. The growing interconnectivity of machines allows, with the help of sensors, to …
How SDR Works: Understanding the Mechanics of the SDR Signal Chain Software-defined radio (SDR) has transformed the way engineers, researchers, and students interact with wireless systems. Instead of relying on …
What Is SDR (Software Defined Radio)? Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such …
Most students do not struggle with equations. They struggle with understanding what those equations actually do. In many learning environments, students define a system, run a process, and then interpret …
If you’re choosing between an FPGA and a SoC, the real question is not which one is “better.” It’s which one fits the job in front of you. Here is …
