There are easy ways of getting more I/O pins for any project; shift registers, I2C expanders, or ADCs will give you plenty of pins for whatever project you have in mind. All these require extra ...

Real-time environmental monitoring is increasingly important in agriculture, industrial automation, smart homes, and healthcare. The real-time data monitoring ...

Most projects are built on abstractions. After all, few of us can create our own wire, our own transistors, or our own integrated circuits. A few months ago, [Julian Ilett] found a problem using the ...

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) output driver chips are popular with embedded designers because they provide multiple outputs without using any CPU I/O pins. This article explains how to adapt a ...

When it comes to ATmega8 basic I/O interfacing, we just learned how to connect a switch as an input device to control one LED connected as an output device. Now a simple tour through selected areas of ...

The I/O buffer information specification, or IBIS, is a simulation system that allows the user to model then simulate signal integrity scenarios before committing the circuit to the printed circuit ...
