    The Internet of Things (IOT) Low-power wireless Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are showing up all over the world, from household to shops and industries and towns together with other technologies such as fitness and health, linking all saving, downloading and exchanging information via the cloud. Interconnection appears to be in its way to being one of those fundamental rights. Personalized reasonably high-speed access from mobile wireless technologies gave consumers the superiority complex to connectivity. It is no longer a restrained privilege for the few. Rather, it is a necessity that the masses demand. As we go about our daily tasks, information is collected from us. But there is so much more that can be detected, and the growth in involvement in large-scale wireless sensor nodes linked to online network and rear-end servers is attracting many implementations to adopt  IoT  communication for their particular needs. The wireless MCU ...

  The dilemma Buyers are often concerned that what they buy today may become technologically obsolete tomorrow. This worry is further heightened by the fact that IoT solutions have high initial cost and is disruptive.   IoT   solutions as they are today are still immature point solutions and addresses emerging use cases with evolving technology standards. Faced with this dilemma, many corporations defer buying IoT solutions that could have otherwise offered them tremendous value today and in future. The only way to lift this dilemma off their way is to make future-proof IoT infrastructure. How do you do that? Future-proofing IoT infrastructure What could make IoT obsolete? Any IoT solution whether bought today or in the future can become obsolete after some time. IoT solutions are still immature and fast evolving making them prone to obsolescence. There are numerous other factors that could cause IoT to be obsolete. They include; Low marker acceptance Evol...

  Raspberry Pi is a minicomputer meant to control and monitor the outside world. It is what physical computing has to offer to the world. Python programming is the backbone of these devices thus they are able to interpret their environments well. One of the Raspberry Pi’s powerful features is the GPIO pins line along the board’s top edge. GPIO stands for General-Purpose Input/Output. Such pins are a direct interface from the Raspberry Pi to the outside world. The Pi can power LEDs and turn them on or off. The Raspberry Pi LEDs come in different models. This is as a result of the dynamic technology and the need to solve problems of different kinds, more desire for device performance and speed. According to their led these are the main models Raspberry Pi 3 General specs are; Broadcom BCM2837 64bit ARMv7 Quad Core Processor powered Single Board Computer running at 1.2GHz Micro SD port for loading your operating system and storing data 1GB RAM port fo...

Determining speed for different electro mechanics is important. An accelerometer comes handy when speed need to be established. Ultra low power accelerometer is the most ideal for   IoT devices . An optimized low power device would be more privilege in IoT because it is a matter of longer battery life to achieve the best from these devices.  Due to low-current consumption, built-in plug-in plug-and-play processes, and behavior identification functionality, the BMA400 is now made available globally through wearables, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, Bosch Sensortec’s BMA400 is an ultra-low-power MEMS acceleration for  IoT  and wearables applications. It can automatically wake whenever it senses movement and switches to sleeping mode whenever the motion stops, thereby preventing the primary application processor from wake up. This function greatly reduces battery usage to prolong charging cycles.  The BMA400’s consistent measuring capability and...

A semiconductor is a device that, depending on some factors, can operate as either a conductor or resistor / insulator. Silicon is the most typical semiconductor material, but other materials are used depending on the necessary specifications. The semiconductor enables a circuit to act differently depending on different circumstances and is necessary for all  electronic circuits  but the most basic one. Many at times you may need an informed choice before making purchases. The main components of these semiconductors are diode and transistor. A discrete semiconductor is specific in its function and cannot be used for a variety of operations like other. For example, a transistor is always a transistor and can only perform the transistor-related functions Discrete semiconductors are desired for a variety of engineering needs and the come in different types. Bridge rectifiers A bridge rectifier consists of diodes set up in a conceptual model: the bridge namesake. This b...

Controlling the speed of a   Brushless DC Motor(BLDC)   without a transmitter is alternatively done using the Arduino microcontroller. This involves the use of PWM signal from Arduino to control the speed of brushless motor with an Electronic Speed Controller(ESC). This will save you the money to buy a servo tester or a RC Transmitter and receiver. Let’s be on the go Materials you will need; A2212/13T BLDC Motor ESC (20A) Power Source (12V 20A) Arduino Potentiometer         Why do we need a ESC? Typically, each BLDC motor needs some kind of controller to switch the battery’s DC voltage into pulses to power the motor’s phase wires. This controller is referred to as an ESC for the Electronic Speed Controller. The controller’s primary task is to energize the BLDC motor stage wires in order for the motor to turn. How BLDC works While BLDC engines are considered DC engines, they work with Pulsed Waves. The Electronic Speed Cont...

  DC/DC Converters DC/DC converters take voltage from a Direct Current (DC) source and then converts it from a certain DC voltage level to another. They are used to raise or reduce the voltage level of supply voltage. They are often used in automobiles and household   electronics . They are prevalent in environments where the primary source of power is battery and the load deriving power from the battery require different voltage levels to operate. A good example is a car, the clock on the dashboard requires a lower voltage than that supplied by a 12V or a 24V battery and hence the voltage level will need to be stepped down in order to run the clock. Applications for DC/DC converters in power electronics DC/DC converters   are very important in ensuring that modern power electronics work efficiently and are reliable. The unfolding developments in the renewable energy sector have resulted in an innovative boost in power electronics. Inverters have become more effi...

Blockchain is a decentralized database that offers a secure yet transparent way for any transaction to be made, recorded and verified. Despite authorized blockchain transactions are affirmed and packaged by participants already known by the register, security issues still ail the system. Cyber-attacks are rampant in the internet and nothing should be left at chance as an attack can bring severe losses. It is vital that organizations protect their Blockchain right from the beginning by introducing strong encryption and key vaulting frameworks for cryptography in order to prevent malicious cyber-attacks. There is a need to understand the popular blockchain use cases so as to determine the likelihood of attacks and the right path to take in ensuring safety. These are the main use cases stated alongside their possible risks; Cryptocurrency – Encrypted digital currencies, but not their holders, recognize the currency itself. The money is held by anyone who owns the coi...
