Embedded Projects

Tired of using your PC or mobile phone as a signal generator? It’s time to upgrade to a standalone one by making it yourself.

The MSP430FR2633 is a low-power microcontroller with multiple GPIOs and capacitive touch pins. This project creates a circuit that supports a custom capacitive touch panel with LED and haptic...

This is a protoype of a fitness wearable device designed to vibrate when it detects stagnation.

In this article, we’ll evaluate different firmware strategies in our pursuit of maximum-frequency analog signal generation.

In this article, we’ll develop firmware that will serve as the basis for high-precision, high-speed signal generation.

Let's interface an ultrasonic sensor and a lighting system! In this project, we'll design a sensor subsystem and then use it in a parking sensor application....

We’ll use real collision data to refine the detection algorithm, and even better, we’ll confirm that the system actually works.

A Picaxe 08M2 microcontroller and an HIH6030 sensor team up to easily control a ventilation fan using temperature or humidity or both.

This article provides detailed information on sampling audio signals and transferring the data to a PC for analysis.

In this how-to article, we explore the use of I2C EERAM to save critical program variables when power fails and restore them when power returns to easily preserve program continuity....

In this project, we will demonstrate the simplicity of RIOT by creating a data logger that will plot levels of light onto a graph on a PC server application....

In this article, I'll show you how I used one of my SIM900A GSM modules to send temperature and relative humidity to my personal website....

Remote controls for electronics often use IR (infrared) radiation in a very precisely coded sequence for channel surfing, volume adjustments, and more. One of the most popular codes is the SIRC...

Using a custom framework (RIOT) to control an LED with a networked computer.

The Beaglebone Treat-Feeder is the prototype for a great pet-feeding device! Keep track of your pet's diet while you stuff your face!

Use I2C on the Quark D2000 development board to interface a color sensor and get acquainted with using asynchronous mode.

Get acquainted with using I2C with the Quark D2000 development board by interfacing an ambient light sensor and an LCD.

Need to ventilate a room? This article will show you how I made a relay-operated, GPS-timed fan to vent out the moist air in my boat's cabin. It is controlled with a PIC16F628A and has an LCD....

This project gives you an example of how a basic user interface can be implemented using only one circular capacitive touch sensor.
