Digispark Pro! Tiny spark in Arduino creating Fire??

The tiny Arduino IDE ready, usb and mobile dev board and ecosystem - cheap enough to leave in any project! Wi-fi, BLE, and 25+ shields!

Serial over USB debugging, USB programmable, 14 i/o, SPI, I2C, UART, USB Device Emulation, Mobile Development Ready, Optional BT, BLE, Mesh, and Wi-Fi.

The super small, dirt cheap, always open source, Arduino compatible, USB (and Mobile and Wireless!) development (and production) platform, and follow-up to the original Digispark.

Easier to use, more pins, more program space, more features, more reliable - supporting the entire existing Digispark ecosystem of 25+ shields and adding Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE shields and more! Ready for all your projects - including mobile hardware development! All still super affordable!

The Digispark Pro Ecosystem is the cheapest, Arduino compatible development platform for Mobile and Wireless hardware development.

• Compatible with Arduino IDE 1.5 (OSX/Win/Linux)
• Fully signed drivers and executable for easy installation
• USB programming, USB device emulation, USB-CDC virtual serial port emulation
• 16 Mhz AVR MCU - using a true 16Mhz precision crystal
• 16KB Flash Memory (14.5K+ after bootloader)
• Serial over USB debugging and communication!
• 14 i/o Pins (2 shared with USB)
• I2C, true SPI, UART, LIN, and USI
• ADC on 10 pins
• 3 PWM Channels (which can be assigned to a selection of pins)
• Power via USB, or External Source - 5v or 6-16v (automatic selection)  
• On-board button that can be used as a reset, program, or user button - or can be disabled to use that pin as general i/o - without changing the bootloader
• On-board 500ma 5V regulator
• Power LED and Test/Status LED (on Pin 1) 
• User accessible solder jumpers to disable LEDs, and other features for lower power consumption
• Two mounting holes.
• Breadboard compatible pin out/spacing (the three side header pins are only for legacy shield support).

 

 

 

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, Mesh shields: The Digispark Pro is backwards compatible with all existing Digispark shields - and it has some shields exclusive for the Pro including: a Wi-Fi shield, a Bluetooth Classic shield, a Bluetooth 4.0/Low Energy Shield, and a nRF24L01+ low cost mesh networking shield. These low cost shields make the Digispark Pro the cheapest way to jump into Internet of Things, Mobile, and Wireless development!

What is digital datapath?

A datapath is a collection of functional units, such as arithmetic logic units or multipliers, that perform data processing operations.

Datapath elements include adders, multipliers, shifters, BFUs, etc.

• The speed of these elements often dominates the overall system performance so optimization techniques are important.

 

• However, as we will see, the task is non-trivial since there are multiple equivalent logic and circuit topologies to choose from, each with adv./disadv. in terms of speed, power and area.

 

• Also, optimizations focused at one design level, e.g., sizing transistors, leads to inferior designs.

Minnowboard Max "AN OPEN SOURCE SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER"

Not to be outflanked by rivals, Intel has released the $99 Minnowboard Max, a tiny single-board computer that runs Linux and Android. It is completely open source – you can check out the firmware and software here – and runs a 1.91GHz Atom E3845 processor.

The board’s schematics are also available for download and the Intel graphics chipset has open-source drivers so hackers can have their way with the board. While it doesn’t compete directly with the Raspberry Pi – the Pi is more an educational tool and already has a robust ecosystem – it is a way for DIYers to mess around in x86 architected systems as well as save a bit of cash. The system uses break-out boards called Lures to expand functionality.

Minnowboard Technical Fratures VISIT HERE 

Intel is interested in this space mostly because it has been out of it for so long. Raspberry Pi runs a Broadcomm system-on-chip with a 700Mhz ARM processor and is probably one of the most popular SBCs available. The Minnowboard brings Intel’s low-power Atom processor back into the hands of hackers and makes Intel relevant in that space again – at least that’s the goal.

Want to do PCB!!!! JUST HAVE A PRINTER AND ITS DONE!!!

Bring the fun of circuit design to everyone.

AgIC, named after Ag Inkjet Circuit, transforms home printers into circuit board manufacturing equipment.

 

 Making circuits at home and office

Recent advances in material science have made it possible to manufacture magical conductive ink. The ink contains tiny tiny silver particles whose size is less than a hundred thousandth part of a sesame seed! The ink dries in a few seconds and conductivity emerges instantly when the traces are drawn on our photo inkjet printing paper. You can make circuits exactly as you use a printer using ordinary ink at your home and office.

No more breadboard

Breadboards look like faster way of prototyping, but they can easily become messy. Circuit boards with AgIC technology are much simpler and more beautiful alternatives. You can replicate or revise your circuits as many times as you want.

Crisp and sharp traces

Home inkjet printers, which are mass-produced commodities, have surprisingly high precision compared with any other fab equipment available for the same price range.

Circuit patterns you can create with AgIC print are as precise as anything you can print using an inkjet printer.

VoIP - Revolution in Telephony??

 

 VoIP is Voice over Internet Protocol, which is a method of making your voice transmit over Internet. We are familiar with Skype and Google talk where we make free phone calls. VoIP can make standard internet connection turn into a free phone booth. VoIP is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to completely rework the world's phone systems. 

VoIP use Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA), IP Phones and Normal Computer for making calls. VoIP phone users can make calls from anywhere there's a internet connection. 

Your voice is sent in terms of Packets to destination via internet. VoIP technology uses the Internet's packet-switching capabilities to provide phone service. VoIP has several advantages over circuit switching. For example, packet switching allows several telephone calls to occupy the amount of space occupied by only one in a circuit-switched network.
