In the world of rapid development one area that is difficult to speed up is the area of custom crystals and oscillators. Historically the lead times on these have been between 8 and 16 weeks, even for samples. Chrystals based oscillators just take a long time to grind down and tune. That reality of engineering…
Microchip has been very acquisition-hungry as of late, recently purchasing Atmel among many others. While their product line expands, the most noticeable might be the merging of the two largest 8-bit microcontroller providers. The PIC Micro and the AVR are now owned by Microchip and both have a stronghold in the industry and in the maker community. The most…
Infinetix has designed a SmartMesh IP™ Gateway system utilizing a BeagleBone Black (BBB) single board computer and a custom designed add-on board (known as a cape in BeagleBone nomenclature) built around the Linear Technology’s SmartMesh IP™ technology In the BeagleBone Black ecosystem, each cape needs a means to determine pin definition and usage. This is…
