Retro-style Miniature Sports Scoreboard - RGB LED Matrix and Raspberry Pi Provide In-Game Updates
This Cornell University graduate describes how he built a miniature, retrostyle scoreboard that pulls and displays live college and professional sports scores from the ESPN API-bringing the excitement of being at a sporting event to your living room. Pre-game information, in-game scores, and post-game results are displayed on a built-in PiTFT touchscreen.
No Blues with Bluetooth! GATT Explained - Part 5 - Understanding Higher Protocol Layers Provides Interoperability Help
After exploring low-level layers of Bluetooth Low Energy in previous editions, and establishing connections in Part 4, Robert examines Attribute Protocol and Generic Attribute Profile or GATT in Part 5. These higher layer protocols provide developers with greater opportunity for interoperability with third-party applications or products.
Power Analysis Over JTAG Ports: Hidden Debug Dangers - Block Side-Channel Analysis Attacks
Small changes in the phase of clock signals can encode power leakages. An attacker can use standard interfaces such as the JTAG port to drive clocks across targets, using them as measurement techniques for sidechannel analysis attacks despite limited physical access. This article demonstrates how you can test devices for vulnerability and how to modify devices to prevent attacks.
Mobile APP Development with React Native
This month, Bob continues his series on mobile app development from an embedded designer's perspective. He programs a React Native app and he offers guidelines for picking a tutorial for React Native. He further explores how it handles concurrency and asynchronous programming. Bob expected a few nuances during the process but to say there were more than a few would be an understatement.
The Blues Wireless Notecard-LoRa
After having built a number of Wi-Fi IoT gadgets for the home, Brian became curious to see how LoRaWAN-based IoT devices would work. He decided to investigate the Notecard LoRa IoT modules made by Blues Wireless.
Bringing Cost-Effective, On-Device AI to Home Appliances - Sparse Weights and Interactions Negate GPUs and Cloud Computing
GPU silicon and cloud computing infrastructure are too costly for mass markets devices like refrigerators and washers. By deploying compute resources only to the necessary parts of AI inference, Sparse AI allows product designers to practically incorporate new AI features like natural voice interfaces into their consumer offerings without breaking the bank or electric bill surprises.
