Questions & Answers18CJ Abate | Interdisciplinary Engineering & ResearchAn Interview With Bruce LandBruce Land is a Senior Lecturer in Electronics and Computer Engineering at Cornell University (www.nbb.cornell.edu/neurobio/land/). This year he's teaching two courses: one covering microcontrollers as components in electronic designs, and one dealing with designing FPGA circuits for embedded applications. Bruce is also co-director of the Masters of Engineering Program in the Cornell School of ECE. Since 2002, seven of Bruce's articles have appeared in Circuit Cellar. In July 2010, I interviewed Bruce about his background, work, and many interests, which range from electronics to neurobiology to programming to physics. |
The Consummate Engineer22George Novacek | Is the Door Closed?Why Every Safety-Critical Decision MattersPart of developing a "robust" system involves ensuring your design is safe and secure. Whether you're building a small embedded app or a complicated door-opening control system for a plane's landing gear bay, you must protect both your design and the end users by choosing the proper parts and design techniques. |
26David Ludington | Precision Temperature Control CircuitryThis precision temperature controller was designed for a calorimeter. The unique system controls the temperature of an outer metal box surrounding an inner calorimeter base plate. It maintains the box's temperature and controls temperature variations around the setpoint with an STD of less than 0.01 degrees C.Download: Ludington_242.zip |
36David Rowe | Mesh Telephony SystemThe Mesh Potato Project from an Embedded Designer's POVYou might have heard about The Mesh Potato, a key component in The Village Telco project aimed at giving people in developing countries a low-cost alternative to mobile phones. This article focuses on the "embedded development" aspects of the project, such as the Wi-Fi SoC and interface design. |
44Clemens Valens | Rapid PrototypingBuild a Scrolling LED Message Board with an mbed/NXP LPC PlatformEmbedded development is becoming easier. With an mbed/NXP MCU development kit, you'll be prototyping an exciting new design in no time. For instance, you can build an LED message board in just one day.Download: Valens_242.zip |
Lessons from the Trenches50George Martin | State Machines RevisitedReal-World Word ProblemsIf you aren't using a real-time operating system (RTOS) but want to, take some time to revisit the topic of state machines. It's the perfect foundation for the complex applications you'll build in the near future. |
From the Bench56Jeff Bachiochi | Transmit and Decode DataDesign and Implement a Keyfob DecoderData transmission technology has come a long way during the past few decades. Today, wireless technology is everywhere. In this article you learn how to design and implement a keyfob decoder.Download: Bachiochi-242.zip |
Silicon Update64Tom Cantrell | Once More, With FeelingAn MCU + FPGA Without the CompromisesThe idea of combining an MCU and FPGA on the same chip isn't new. Although it looks good on paper, there have been as many misses as hits. What's the difference that separates winners from losers? Now, Actel is taking a shot at it. Do they have the answer? |
