Pandemic PCB Prototyping: Building Electronics From Your Living Room Pandemic PCB Prototyping: Building Electronics From Your Living Room It feels like everyone is writing an article these days about how they’re managing (or not managing) with stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19 restrictions. At the time of writing, California (where I am based) has the highest number of cases over any other state in the United States. To combat the pandemic, most non-essential businesses have been closed or open in a limited fashion. This means that folks who are able to work from home (e.g Read Article

ATmega328P Essentials: Getting Started Without Arduino ATmega328P Essentials: Getting Started Without Arduino I’ve been using the Arduino Uno board for quite some time, including as examples for many of my articles. I’ve always wondered what it would take to get the ATmega328P (the original chip used on the older Uno boards) working completely on its own. With the Arduino making it so accessible via its bootloader, nice GUI software, and C++ abstraction, you’d wonder why on earth I would want to even attempt this. Sometimes, in order to appreciate what Read Article
Getting Started With DevOps for Embedded Systems Using the ATmega328P Getting Started With DevOps for Embedded Systems Using the ATmega328P DevOps and Agile methodologies have transformed software development by emphasizing collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement. Applying DevOps principles to my designs and projects has been a game-changer, enhancing efficiency and reliability. In this article, we’re going to walk through setting up a continuous integration (CI) workflow for an existing embedded systems project that uses the ATmega328P microcontroller.

Embedded AI The Path Forward for Embedded AI In April 2021, I published an article in Printed Circuit Design & Fab, where I proclaimed the future of AI is embedded. In short, my view is that embedded systems will leverage greater usage of AI on the end device, meaning they will rely less on cloud platforms or data centers for inference. Without a doubt, I believe the future of AI is still embedded, but not with the chipset or system architecture I would have thought. At the time of writing Read Article
