Many devices we’ve used for years are getting smarter, and luminaires are no different. The LED transition has afforded an opportunity to upgrade traditional lighting needs with technology that ...

Not just reserved for consumer gadgets, embedded systems make use of advances in computing performance to extend the power of industrial controls. It's been 50 years since Gordon Moore first ...

Noun: Application-specific software and custom-integrated circuits specifically designed and implanted to generate commands that bring forth the best possible performance from the machine to which ...

Senior Editor The simplest embedded systems center on microcontrollers running a single control loop. The loop may poll inputs or be interrupt driven, but as long as no other task ever requires ...

Embedded motion controllers reduce multiple cycles of algorithm development, implementation, and testing to setting a few parameters and exporting the code to your own firmware What do self-driving ...

The basic idea behind these new peripherals is that, once set up properly, they will operate independently and relieve the microcontroller core from the heavy lifting of the task at hand. This allows ...

New Eagle's suite of embedded control products is already in use across EV, hybrid, and alternative fuel programs, as well as in off-highway and specialty vehicle markets. With its Raptor embedded ...

The GARDiS Web Embedded Access Control Unit is a user-friendly solution designed to provide seamless and secure access control management. This new, improved configuration is applicable to all new ...

As we covered last month, embedded motion control is operation-specific code targeted to microprocessors, FPGAs, and PLCs. As hardware becomes increasingly powerful, these controls do the same.
