One of the top complaints about electronic devices in our modern, mobile society is that their batteries don’t last as long as expected. Human beings have to some degree become addicted to our ability to always be connected and streaming data of one form or another. The increased use of mobile devices has resulted in … Continue reading 7 Tricks for Estimating Battery Life
Software engineers are everywhere! Software engineers develop the low-level firmware that drives our gadgets, the application code that allows us to interact with our devices, the software that manages the internet, satellites, medical devices, automobiles and the list goes on and on. Despite the abundant and ever growing software developer ranks, there seems to be … Continue reading The Case of the Missing Professional Software Engineers
Hardware In-Loop (HIL) testing runs the test case code on the target microcontroller rather than using a mocked software layer to act as the hardware. HIL testing can be extremely useful for verifying that hardware accesses from a HAL are working as expected and even test that all outputs from the system work as expected. … Continue reading Hardware In-Loop Testing
Course Overview: The IoT edge devices have embedded written all over them. Sensor nodes that acquire data and transmit them to the cloud is quickly becoming common place. In this series, Jacob Beningo will walk attendees through the steps and processes necessary to create a sensor node using an ESP8266 which is an integrated microcontroller … Continue reading CEC – Designing IoT Sensor Nodes using the ESP8266
