IoT Sensor Badge BLE interface with Pythonista 3
From my very egoistic perspective, the only thing truly missing in the IoT Sensor Badge is a proper iOS app (mind an Android app is available) but, as often is the case, every shortcoming can be seen as a challenge… The … Continue reading
Pythonista 3
Pythonista3 is simply the most fun and easiest/fastest way to develop iPad/iPhone apps/demos (in Python) to complement your IoT demos and projects. Apparently the app has been in the Apple Store for more than three years and the author has had time … Continue reading

PIC16F188xx Pearls
Looking deeper inside the PIC16F18855 datasheet [link] I found out a couple of interesting new things that deserve your attention: A new Constant Current Output Control for the I/O pins Memory models up to 32k words (equiv to 64K bytes of … Continue reading
First Look at the PIC16F188xx family
Back in August a press release announced the imminent launch of the new PIC16F188xx family [link]. This was bundled with another similar launch for the PIC16F157x family that I have reviewed with a tiny bit more detail in this previous post … Continue reading
Saleae Logic Analyzer
Saleae Logic Analyzers stand to similar (low cost- USB) products as an iPhone stands to an old Nokia soap-bar. And it is not just a matter of (modern) looks, although they decidedly aim at an Apple-ish look and perhaps beyond. It’s the software that … Continue reading
Tiny Basic for Curiosity
Watching a retro Basic interpreter running on a modern MCU is somewhat poetic to me… Even better if the Basic interpreter is in its turn running on top of a (retro) Virtual Machine as is the case of the TinyBasic … Continue reading
Learning Bluetooth LE with the BLE2 Click
Playing with the Bluetooth Low Energy Click board (BLE2 based on the RN4020) on a Curiosity board is a fun way to get acquainted with this technology. My first humble step was to get the simplest example offered in the … Continue reading
mruby
mruby is a lightweight implementation of the Ruby language designed to be linked and embedded into other applications. It is a branch of the original project initiated by the same author Yukihiro Matsumoto (a.k.a. Matz) and a strong international team … Continue reading
