My company is looking into creating our own design for wireless bar code scanning. We are neophites in this arena. The major concern is FCC licensing for our new schema. I'm in need of finding guidelines for the FCC. Thanks Michael Esquare Inc.

Hi all, I have to design a data acquisition system for two different signals. One is within the frequency range 300 hz (+ or - 25 Hz) and the other one is less than 5 Hz. I do not know the amplitude ranges of these frequencies(I guess it may depend on the sensors used). I do not know how to select the sensors and how to design the other hardware. If you can either give a pointer to me ...

Hi I need to use an Embedded OS and i dont know what processors to use for running an OS. I've got a look over intel 8051 but it seems to me pretty low in resources. I need a processor or Microcontroller with rich memmory; i mean it should have or support large ROM for code space and have great amout of RAM as i plan to run processes on my system. Can some1 help me? Bye

Is anyone using 16M (FIR) IrDA ? Looking over the history via the magic of Google, I see a burst of interest around the beginning of the current century, and not much recently excepting perhaps HP err.. Avago. I also don't see much in the way of available (OTS) hardware.. Has Bluetooth rendered it comatose? Is there a non-RF alternative? Or is it just coming up to speed? Best...

We want to make a portable device for reading some text. It is made for ourselves, and as a practice of course. So we want get a low cost on hardware. Some one suggest that MSP430 should work fine, but i don't know whether it can afford the loads. It seems that lacking of support free os for MSP430 is another problem. Is there any better choice?Any help would be appreciated.

Just got the USB version, eZ430-2013 Development tool, but It's not being rocognized by my PCs. Can anyone help? I just emailed TI, and while I wait for reply, thought I'ld ask here. I followed all installation instructions. When I plug it in USB, it's recognized as a MSP-FET430UIF JTAG device, then up pops the Hardware Wizard looking for a driver. I browse to where TI says to, but to no a...

Dear All, I am working on a project where we have some image processing algorithms written by my colleague. This is accomplished on a normal PC. What we need to do is drive the images on to an approximately 50 inch LCD TV. We are looking at 1080p resolution. We would need the code written on the PC to be completely ported on to a piece of hardware with its necessary peripherals such that w...

Hello out there, just asking for inspiration. I have a simulation which executes commands - everything ok. But now the program should also communicate with external hardware via a serial connection and that is the problem: - I don't want to block waiting for an answer since I also have a GUI. - Turning to file events I now have the problem that the simulation cannot continue before a partic...

Hi all, I'm after a keyboard wedge that is controllable via rs-232 (or usb). Does anyone know of anything that is already available on the market? I need to control a computer from another via its keyboard port. I know it would make a fun project with a HC705 - but I'm trying to avoid picking up the soldering iron. Appologies if this isn't the most appropriate newsgroup - slim ...

How to choose a firmware partner: Ask if it's policy to enable the watchdog timer. The correct answer is "no". If they say "yes" then you know that their code is dodgy, and/or their hardware is vulnerable and if the WDT is not going off occassionally, it probably will after the next modification.
