DEVELOPMENT KITS FEATURE
JEREMY S. COOK, FREELANCE TECHNOLOGY WRITER
 
Setting up and running your own Raspberry Pi home automation system is both fun and useful, and lets you have control of your devices without depending on ?the cloud.? I did a quick overview of my home automation setup here, as well as how to prepare devices for integration with Tasmota in a Part 2 followup. In this part 3 we?ll put everything together with Home Assistant (HA), my chosen Raspberry Pi home automation platform.

MEMORY & STORAGE FEATURE
STEFFEN ALLERT, EUROPEAN SALES ORGANIZATION AT HYPERSTONE
 
The age of Big Data is placing increasing demands on storage and processing. Correspondingly, there is a need for faster data transfer speeds. When customers choose solid-state drives (SSDs), they often go by the datasheet?s performance figures. However, the numbers in the datasheet don?t accurately represent typical SSD performance.

EMBEDDED TOOLBOX
EMBEDDED TOOLBOX: INTERACTIVE INTERVIEW SERIES
BRANDON LEWIS, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, EMBEDDED COMPUTING DESIGN
 
According to analysts, IP theft costs industry a staggering $500 to $600 billion per year. With more than half a trillion dollars at stake, you?d think that IP protection would be top of mind for many electronic device manufacturers.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES FEATURE
CHRISTOPHER GOBOK, PRODUCT MARKETING AND OPERATIONS MANAGER
 
If you are not already driving an electric vehicle (EV)?hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), or all-electric vehicle?chances are, you may be soon. Range anxiety has become a thing of the past. You can now help preserve the environment without worrying about being stuck in it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
EDGE COMPUTING FEATURE
JASON WHITE, FREELANCE TECHNOLOGY WRITER
 
If you sit down and make a list of promising technologies, the two names that would most likely top it are Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things. Although both the technologies are powerful individually, AI as a source of intelligence, and IoT being the only technology making inter-device connections possible - their convergence becomes a catalyst of smart connections.
 
 
 
 
 
DEV KIT
DEV KITS NEWS
RICH NASS, EVP, OPENSYSTEMS MEDIA
 
Design engineers love development kits, for a bunch of reasons. One, they enjoy seeing how things work and the kits expose the technology. Two, they like to tinker with the boards and see if they can get the board to do what it?s intended to do, as well as some things that it may not have been intended to do. And three, it gives them a nice head start on the development path.

MinE-CAP IC
POWER ELECTRONICS NEWS
RICH NASS, EVP, OPENSYSTEMS MEDIA
 
Aimed at high power density, universal input AC-DC converters, the Power Integrations MinE-CAP IC significantly reduces the size of the high-voltage bulk electrolytic capacitors required in the offline power supplies used in compact chargers and adapters.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
SPONSORED WHITE PAPER
TELIT
 
As awareness of the transformative nature of 5G is increasing, the industry is slowly waking up to the enormous challenge of securing not only the networks but also all the things these networks connect and the vital data they carry. When it comes to the Internet of Things (IoT), the challenges of security and the stakes involved couldn?t be more significant.
 
 
 
 
 
 
SPONSORED WHITE PAPER
NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
 
If 2020 has shown us anything, it?s that the line between work and home has become incredibly blurry, dissolving the means for compartmentalizing our lives. How do we do validation at home? And not just until the pandemic is over, but long-term, sustainably?do we have a plan to translate the lab to the kitchen table, or the home office, or the garage?
 
 
 
 
 
 
SPONSORED WHITE PAPER
QA SYSTEMS
 
In safety-critical software development, unit testing is mandated by standards. However, not all tests are built equal. This paper discusses approaches you can take with your unit testing to maximize their contribution to the development process.
