If you’re planning to do some hacking with CPLD or FPGA chips you’ll need a way to program them. JTAG is one of the options and here’s a cheap method that uses the serial port (translated). This ...

The robust and water proof RBS433 provides a plug-and-play solution to replace conventional serial cables. The ready-to-use Bluetooth interface allows any device with an RS232/422/485 port to ...

A bootloader makes it possible to update a product’s firmware in the field. Common communication interfaces like UART, I 2 C, SPI or USB can be used to update the firmware, which typically involves a ...

The unit provides a plug-and-play replacement for conventional serial cables up to 300 meters, and can connect to any Bluetooth low energy device, such as a sensor, to get access the device's standard ...

It’s pretty common to have at least a couple of meters around to measure different values of a circuit at the same time. Where [Emilio P.G. Ficara] ran into a problem was logging the data from both at ...

I'm currently involved in a project to critically damp the vibrations of a washing machine using a variable damping coefficient. The way we're getting input from the system is through a serial port ...

Android apps for Arduino Bluetooth Control. What are some of the best apps available? Zach Wendt and Jeremy S. Cook walk us through the stages of development, considering the advantages and ...
