I'd like to replace an electrical cable with a fiber cable, mainly for electromagnetic noise immunity and long distance (I need to reach 500m). The bitrate will be very low: 9600bps is ok. I need to keep the cost low as possible. I never used fiber cables before. In similar applications I used RS485 transceivers connected to the UART peripheral of an MCU. I think I need a fiber optic c...

I am having an old board made and am being asked for ODB++ format CAD data files. It seems this is to facilitate the creation of the various machine control files. I'm told it can also support locating traces to assist in debugging. My CAD package doesn't support this. Would it be a hard thing for the developers to add? https://www.odb-sa.com/wp-content/uploads/odb_spec_user-

Hi, I have faced a problem with communication via Ethernet switch Marvell 88E6320 connected to the Xilinx ZynqMP chip via RGMII interface. The whole problem and its resolution is described here: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Linux/Problem-with-Marvell-88E6320-connected-to-GEM3-in-Zy nqMP/m-p/904302/highlight/false#M29845 The solution simply applies to 88E6320 chip the method t

enum type_t { TYPE_1, TYPE_2, ... TYPE_100, } void tx_byte(unsigned char c); enum type_t t; ... tx_byte((unsigned char)t); If the maximum value in the enumeration is lower than 256, you can cast to (unsigned char) and transmit it as a byte. However the receiver must have the same enumeration. The transmitter and the receiver must agreed on *the exact values*...

I have some 24C16A to program. I have a working 24C16A to clone. What is a fast and cheap way to proceed? I need a software and an hardware interface (USB to IIC or RS232 to IIC). I have a PicKit2, but I'm not sure if they can be used to program IIC EEPROM. If yes, what is the software to use? I could write a simple firmware for an MCU with IIC that connects to a PC (via RS232 or...

Often I have digital inputs connected to switches managed by the user. For example: microswitches, tactile switches, push-buttons, dip-switches, simple jumpers and so on. What is your preferred method to read the status of this inputs? I usually arrange a debounce method for reading push-buttons and similars (tactile switches, micro-switches...) and I know there are many (many many) ...
