ENGINEERING ARCHIVE
Projects, engineering notes and architectural decisions. From the lab to real systems.
When cellular coverage disappears, readings and alerts can remain on the device. Satellite IoT opens up remote monitoring for agriculture, infrastructure and logistics, with firmware, power consumption and service coverage as key design decisions.
TI has introduced the first commercially available CAN XL transceiver. With frames up to 2,048 bytes and data rates up to 20 Mbit/s, CAN XL opens new options for robots, HMIs and industrial machines. Here is when to assess it against CAN FD and Ethernet.
Galileo is more than Europe's alternative to GPS. OSNMA authenticates navigation data, HAS brings decimetre-level positioning, and dev boards, Linux and SDR help validate resilient embedded PNT systems.
A 0.25 kW gearmotor, about 5 °C across a TEG and one thermoelectric generator powered a LoRa node without an electrochemical battery. Measured results, sizing equations, limits and a practical proof-of-concept method.
Bluetooth Channel Sounding brings more reliable distance measurement than RSSI to Bluetooth LE, enabling secure access, asset tracking, IoT devices, wearables and industrial embedded systems.
5G RedCap brings 5G to IoT devices that do not need full eMBB modems: gateways, industrial sensors, cameras, wearables and asset trackers. Here is how to evaluate it for embedded, firmware and connected products.
A practical view of QUIC for embedded Linux, gateways and IoT devices: latency, TLS integration, multiplexing, complexity and real use cases.
When microcontrollers should process data locally: latency, bandwidth, privacy, reliability, power and industrial maintenance use cases.
A practical guide to GPS/GNSS integration in embedded products: modules, antennas, NMEA 0183, RTK, SBAS, timing and real-world limitations.
A technical introduction to Matter for product teams: IPv6 transport, data model, commissioning, fabrics, attestation and update strategy.
Industry 5.0 in practice: firmware, sensors and dashboards to measure energy use, support operators and handle network outages.
