| | | Wireless MCUs Support Bluetooth 5.3 LE |
| Renesas Electronics has announced that it is developing new MCUs that will support the recently released Bluetooth 5.3 Low Energy (LE) specification. The new devices will be part of the Renesas Advanced (RA) Family of 32-bit Arm Cortex-M MCUs, joining the RA4W1 Bluetooth 5.0 LE device introduced last year. Renesas expects to have first samples of the new MCUs in the first quarter of 2022. |

| | | Build a Motor Dynamometer: Using a PIC32 MCU |
| Dynamometers are a key tool for assessing electric motor characteristics. Learn how these three Cornell students designed an electric motor dynamometer to characterize the torque, efficiency and power of a small electric motor. Data is processed using a Microchip PIC32 MCU and visualized using MATLAB. |
