As the current geopolitical state continues to drive the need for greater global security, the world’s leading nations have dramatically expanded their deployment of satellites and space-based systems to more than 10,000 now active in orbit, and the pace is increasing. With the demand for both milit...

We've long envisioned machines that can be controlled by simply talking to them. Today this is possible with high-end devices like smartphones, computers, and virtual assistants, but what about low-power embedded devices? In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will explore how microc...

Modern military systems increasingly rely on high-performance compute platforms to meet the growing demands for software and software reuse. In response, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) mandated in 2019 that all new platforms and upgrades adopt a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) to accelera...

As much as we would like these security issues to go away, it’s really trending in the opposite direction—more systems are getting hacked, and the cost of a hack is skyrocketing. But that needn’t be the case if designers would implement the necessary steps to keep their systems safe (or at least, sa...

With today’s tiny wireless access modules, accessing your Arduino IoT project has never been easier. In this online training session, presenter Jeremy Cook will delve into how to make your projects accessible over the airwaves, both on your local network, and beyond using cloud-based services.

Model-based design and automatic code generation has been a paradigm shift in embedded software engineering. It enables hardware-agnostic development, early validation through simulation and much more. However, oversimplification via graphical modeling has also led to an explosion of unmaintainable...

Machine learning is not new to industrial/automation/robotics equipment. But the capabilities are expanding, and they will continue to do so moving forward. As new algorithms come about and vision system get better, you’ll see huge improvements in productivity, quality, and security. This session wi...

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.
