There are multiple ways to setup the STM32 UART for data reception, including polling, interrupts and using DMA. Polling is simple, you just keep checking the UART for data. However, this is a “blocking” function and ties-up the CPU from doing anything else. Using interrupts to check for data reception is a step-up from polling, […]

In completing my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, one of the courses I’ve got to complete is Senior Capstone. In this course you’re given the option of either selecting a project to be apart of, or proposing your own. I had two of my own projects in mind, one being a CNC hydraulic tubing bender. However, […]
Here’s a pretty cool little adjustable power regulator by DROK® I received it today through Amazon. I’m always needing to hunt around my office for a proper power supply to power whatever electronics item I’m playing with at that moment. I’ve got several regulated power supplies, but none of them are adjustable. So this unit […]
I’m fortunate enough to live right down the street from Crystalfontz America (Crystalfontz.com), a supplier of high-quality LCD, OLED and other types of display modules. It is entirely thanks to their sponsorship of the current engineering project I’m apart of, that I now have the opportunity to work with their CFA835 graphical LED displays with […]
Here is a simple, clean and proper solution for doing a full Arduino reset via a simple software function. The general solution was found here and was implemented as follows: Include the proper library: #include <avr/wdt.h> Place this within your “Setup” function: MCUSR = 0; // clear out any flags of prior resets (used for […]
