Video Interview Conductive Paint An Interview with Bare Conductive
Back in 2009, a small team of students at the Royal College of Art in London, England, began experimenting with a nontoxic conductive paint. That work laid the foundation for their company Bare Conductive, which inspires artists and engineers to take on innovative projects that involve painting circuits. Circuit Cellar recently traveled to Commercial Street in London and interviewed Stefan Dzisiewski-Smith and Isabel Lizardi, two members of Bare Conductive. Read More & Watch the Video |
| Sponsored by FTDI Intelligent Displays from Riverdi and FTDI Chip Riverdi is a company that is solely concentrated on the development and creation of high quality TFT modules, utilising optimal parts from both the European and Asian markets. Collaborating with display manufacturers in China and Taiwan, the complete modules are then assembled in Europe. This allows Riverdi to offer high quality products that can be delivered quickly and still retain competitive pricing in comparison to its associate distributors. The company has invested in new technology from FTDI Chipwith its Embedded Video Engine (EVE) series, the FT8xx range of graphics controller ICs, to power its wide range of intelligent TFT modules.

Sponsored by Matrix TSL Flowcode 7: Simplifying Microcontroller Programming These days the most commonly used device in electronic systems is the microcontroller: it is hard to find a piece of electronics without one, and you use thousands of them a day. In this article, John Dobson, managing director at Matrix TSL, introduces Flowcode 7 and explains how you can use it for your next microcontroller-based design.
Starting with making your waffles first thing in the morning, and ending with setting the alarm clock last thing at night. In terms of programming these systems it is likely that you are familiar with Assembly code, BASIC, C, C++ and traditional languages. But we want to present to you a quick and simple way of programming microcontrollers-using flowcharts.
The great thing about flowcharts is that everyone can use them. It's true that some computer science purists prefer state diagrams, but even business analysts understand the simple flowchart, which describes-using a simple range of icons-the use of flowcharts to control systems. Flowcode 7 is an electronic product development environment that allows you to drag and drop flowchart icons, click twice on them to enter properties, design a virtual circuit or system on screen, and simulate the flowchart's effect on the system to ensure functionality. Then, once the design is complete, you can produce hex code for more than 500 microcontrollers, including PIC8, PIC16, PIC32, AVR, Arduino, and ARM microcontrollers. Read the Entire Article |
