Troubleshooting is something we all do as engineers, but don’t always define. In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will outline how to properly approach troubleshooting–applicable to any field, including Arduino–and drill down to real-world examples of this fusion of art and scienc...

Adding AI functionality to your Edge-based design requires a lot of forethought. For example, what exactly am I trying to accomplish using AI? And is that really the best way to achieve my results? Assuming you still want to deploy AI in your design, you can move on to the harder question, how do I...

In 2022, the. U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) released its Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) strategy, which “is intended to produce the warfighting capability to sense, make sense, and act at all levels and phases of war, across all domains, and with partners, to deliver infor...

When it's time to set up, troubleshoot, and communicate with your Arduino board, serial communication is the go-to tool in your programming arsenal. In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will discuss how serial protocols work and how to use them effectively, focusing on basic UART c...

New (and quickly evolving) models, coupled with the threat/promise of quantum computing and increased awareness of sustainability challenges means that the high performance computing segment has never been a more exciting segment to be engaged in! Never before seen levels of compute performance, but...

The 5-Decade Standard for Flight Control & Weapons Systems Sees No End in Sight... MIL-STD-1553 data buses have been ubiquitous on military aircraft, helicopters, drones, ground vehicles and spacecraft for the past 50 years. 1553’s longevity is due to its physical layer robustness, redundancy and d...

The world of industrial PLC control is dominated by IEC 61131-3 languages–including ladder logic. These languages can also be used to program the Arduino Opta via the Arduino PLC IDE (in addition to the standard Arduino IDE). In this class, Jeremy Cook will delve into the wide world of PLC programmi...

AI is showing up in some new places, and offering great returns. For example, HVAC systems can benefit greatly from some simple machine learning techniques. And people- and traffic-monitoring systems can also make extensive use of the latest AI capabilities. In this session, we will look at some of...

There are numerous benefits for modern development teams to migrating from the QNX real time operating system (RTOS) to Wind River VxWorks – the world’s most widely deployed RTOS – renowned for its reliability and scalability, and the first and only RTOS to support OCI container technology as well a...

The ever-increasing number of connected devices around us introduces significant security challenges. Connecting billions of devices in markets such as industrial IoT, automotive, critical infrastructure, data center, and smart home can only be done securely if every device has some form of dedicate...

The Arduino Opta is a standalone brick PLC, with a limited number of available inputs and outputs. This May, however, Arduino announced three add-on modules for the Opta, two of which are available today. In this class, presenter Jeremy Cook will talk about the Opta’s new expansion capabilities, and...

There are still many questions surrounding the automobile of tomorrow. Should the car be completely controlled by software versus a mix of hardware and software? Should it contain one central compute box versus disparate MCUs controlling each individual subsystem? How do we design something that can...

AI is one of the most complex technologies embedded developers must tackle. Integrating it into your system brings with it so many questions and not so many answers. In this monthly series, Embedded Computing Design will look to simplify the design process, as much as that’s possible.

In the world of IoT, “things” often need to work within limited power resources. While this can be a challenge, with careful hardware and software optimization IoT devices can work reliably off-grid for months–even years–at a time. In this online training course, presenter Jeremy Cook will go over h...

Cloud Native platforms provide a DevSecOps solution enabling organizations to develop mission-critical intelligent systems at agile speed and without the issues of vendor lock-in. Ensuring that edge devices and cloud-hosted application systems meet evolving safety and security requirements and stand...

The current geopolitical stage and expansion of commercially deployed satellites are increasing the demand to reduce lead time for high-reliability power supplies, while managing the technical risk and meeting the cost target. With increasing supply-chain pressures, system designers face the difficu...

Beyond mass production of your device, there is also a huge need for customized machines that make other things. These typically use robust programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with names like Siemens and Allen Bradley, which are programmed in ladder logic. Ladder logic will be unfamiliar to many i...

Your safety certification program has a near infinite number of ways it can go astray. Runtime eLOC (effective lines of code) derived from functional requirements, export compliance regulations, runtime security threat analysis and security policy definition, certification requirements/standards, de...

U.S. military operations continue to increase their reliance on uncrewed aerial systems (UASs), uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs), uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), and uncrewed undersea vehicles (UUVs) to engage with adversarial threats that grow ever more complex. These platforms not only deliver let...

Now that you’ve secured the necessary funding, you get to the hard part—fulfilling orders. In this class, Jeremy Cook will draw from his experience fulfilling an Arduino-based Kickstarter (on time), his decade in process automation, and insight from others to show how you too can satisfy customers w...

Smart manufacturing and AI go hand-in-hand. You can’t perform smart manufacturing with out some form of AI, whether it be machine learning, computer/machine vision, etc. At the Smart Manufacturing Day virtual conference, attendees will learn from the experts what goes into the design of these system...

Moving your design from a “maker” model to a “professional” model requires a lot of steps. One of those steps has to do with funding, something engineers/developers don’t often spend a lot of time thinking about. One solution is crowdfunding, which has produced a number of notable projects to the wo...

Five years have passed since Air Force, Army, and Navy leadership issued a joint memo mandating that the U.S. military use a modular open systems approach (MOSA) for new program designs and refreshes, calling MOSA a “warfighting imperative.” Today, MOSA initiatives are changing U.S. military acquisi...
