The Intel 80386 is a rather fascinating slice of computer history. It marked the first 32 bit X86 processor, and was a staple ...

A clock is by its very nature a device for measuring time, and thus it moves forward at a constant rate. But how about in a ...

As hyperscalers struggle with delays, permitting fights, and mounting community backlash on new data center builds, overlooked brownfield facilities, including dark sites, are emerging as a practical ...

How microcontrollers and single-board computers coordinate high-speed RF acquisition and generation. How SCPI and UART commands let simple controllers use advanced measurements without FPGA ...

The WLKATA Haro380 is a compact 6-axis robotic arm designed for robotics education, light manufacturing and advanced research. With a precision rating of ±0.05 mm repeatability and a reach of 434 mm, ...

This research aimed to design, fabricate, and test a prototype of a 1-feed-line automatic chicken feeder, determining the designed functionality and feeding time, and comparing the performance of an ...

Abstract: This work presents a cost-effective approach to implementing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for educational use, using commercial microcontrollers (Arduino UNO, ESP8266 NodeMCU) and a ...

Sacramento State Mechanical Engineering students have a new way to experience hands-on learning. A recent equipment donation by Bosch Rexroth, an international engineering firm that specializes in ...

The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...
