Learn the differences between discrete I/O, Modbus, and IO-Link communication systems for industrial automation. Compare wiring, diagnostics, scalability, troubleshooting, and integration advantages for PLCs, sensors, and actuators.

Wio Link is designed to simplify your IoT development, aims to make it easy to develop Internet of Things products and services. It is an ESP8266 based open-source Wi-Fi development board.

In this tutorial, we walk you through the process of creating a custom board definition in Zephyr so that you can port your applications to custom PCBs and embedded systems.

This tutorial walks you through the process of enabling WiFi on an ESP32 in Zephyr, connected to a network, and performing an HTTP GET request. It can be used as the basis for making IoT devices.

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to use the popular LVGL graphics library to draw simple text and shapes on an LCD using Zephyr. We rely on the built-in ST7735R driver to control the LCD.

In this video, we demonstrate several interrupts in Zephyr RTOS: software-based timer interrupts, hardware counter interrupts, and pin-change GPIO hardware interrupts. We also introduce Zephyr workqueues for delaying function execution.

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to run multiple threads in Zephyr RTOS.

In this tutorial, we learn how to debug an ESP32 running Zephyr RTOS using OpenOCD and GDB. This guide covers configuring OpenODC, GDB commands, and integrating debugging workflows with VS Code.

In this tutorial, we walk you through the process of creating your own, custom device driver in Zephyr RTOS and testing it with a demo application.

This video discusses the RECOM Power RACPRO1 series of high-performance AC/DC power supplies designed for industrial automation, energy distribution, and infrastructure applications.

In this tutorial, we explore Devicetree bindings in Zephyr, which work as glue to connect Devicetree nodes and properties to the appropriate driver code. We demonstrate this by creating a simple analog-to-digital converter (ADC) example.

In this fourth episode of our Introduction to Zephyr series, we cover Devicetree syntax and basics so you can start to see how it’s used to create professional, cross-platform embedded applications.

In this third episode of our Introduction to Zephyr series, we introduce the Kconfig configuration system and demonstrate how to use it to enable and disable various software components for your embedded project.

In this second episode of our Introduction to Zephyr series, we demonstrate the CMake build generator system and show how Zephyr uses it to build projects.

Master Zephyr RTOS with our 12-part series, including CMake, Kconfig, and the Devicetree. In the first part, we demonstrate how to set up the Zephyr build environment and blink an LED.

In this FreeCAD tutorial, learn to create organic shapes using sweeps and lofts with guide curves. We model a boat hull using B-splines and lofts, then introduce the Curved Shapes Workbench plugin to simplify the process with guide rail functionality

This week on maker update: a chalk bot to conquer your block, poetry across the phone lines, weaving cords, and a collection of great tips for wearable projects.

We take a look at the EMI shielding tape kit from 3M.

This week on Maker Update: pressing all the buttons, ramping up your phone distractions, flipping through the days, and a portrait by the numbers.

This video discusses ecomate connectors by Amphenol. These connectors provide robust, lightweight, and waterproof solutions for industrial applications.
