Hello friends, I hope you all are doing well. Today we are going to have an in-depth discussion on the Characteristics of Embedded Systems. We have discussed What is Embedded Systems? & Types of Embedded Systems in detail, in our previous tutorial. So, I am hoping that you have a clear idea of Embedded Systems.
Today, we will discuss different characteristics which are found in almost every Embedded system. So, let's get started:
Definition of Embedded Systems
We already know that an embedded system can be defined as,
"A dedicated system specially designed to perform a designated function, with a microcontroller or a microprocessor as its chief component, along with a software embedded in computer hardware, is called an embedded system."

Hi Guys! Hope you’re well today. Happy to see you around. In this post today, I’ll walk you through the Introduction to Arduino MKR NB 1500.
The Arduino MKR NB 1500 is mainly developed for working in remote areas where no power or internet connection is available. This board is based on a SAMD21 Cortex-M0+ 32bit low power microcontroller and comes with an operating voltage of 3.3V.
Admit it.
The Arduino board is a remarkable addition to the development of many automation and embedded projects. These boards are incorporated with a series of digital and analog pins that can be connected with the expansion boards or other breadboards.
Most of the Arduino boards are integrated with 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontrollers. And all these boards incorporate ...
The Internet of Things (IoT) philosophy may be viewed as a highly dynamic and radically dispersed networked system comprised of a huge number of identifiable smart devices. These objects may communicate and interact with one another, as well as with end-users and other network entities. As the Internet of Things era begins, the usage of small, inexpensive, and flexible computer hardware that allows end-user programming becomes more prevalent. The Raspberry Pi, a fully configurable and programmable tiny computer board, is one of them discussed in this article. Although there are certain limitations, the Raspberry Pi remains a low-cost computer that has been used effectively in a wide range of IoT vision research applications despite its few shortcomings.

Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface the PIR sensor to detect motion with the Raspberry Pi Pico module and MicroPython programming language. Later in this tutorial, we will also discuss the interrupts and how to generate an external interrupt with a PIR sensor.
Before interfacing and programming, the PIR and Pico boards let’s first have a look at the quick introduction to the PIR sensor and its working.

PIR motion sensor and its working
PIR stands for Passive Infrared sensors and the PIR module we are using is HC-SR501. As the name suggests the PIR or passive infrared sensor, produces TTL (transistor transistor logic) output (that is either HIGHT o ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are going to have a look at few Common Operators in C#. It's 4th tutorial in C# series and before going forward, we have to first understand the working operation of these C# operators.
We have a lot of operators in C# but I have discussed few of them, which are most commonly used. If you got into any trouble then ask in comments. So, let's get started with Common Operators in C#:
Common Operators in C#
Operators are used to create a link, relation or operation between two entities/variables. Few of these C# operators are as follows:
Assignment Operator ( = )
Arithmetic Operators ( + , - , * , / , % )
Comparison Operators ( == , != , > , < , >= , <= )
Co ...
A low-literate audience can nevertheless have their voices heard and their questions answered by using an IVR system, as has been proven time and time again. However, achieving such aims in a development setting calls for a cheap system that welcomes input from various parties. RASP-IVR is an inexpensive IVR system that operates on a PI 4 and a local Global System for Mobile Communications modem. RASP-IVR was designed as an open-source, community-driven solution. It's unusual to find a customer-focused company that still uses human operators rather than an interactive voice response system. Credit card companies typically have IVR systems that can be used to make payments or file fraud reports. Airlines use elaborate IVR systems to schedule flights and check their current status. To facili ...
Industrial workplace health and safety are essential for avoiding work-related accidents, injuries, and fatalities. In fact, as many as 13,455,000 workers across manufacturing industries in the US are at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries, the CDC reveals. Not only does improving workplace health and safety protect workers, but it also prevents lost work days and lost revenue. The National Safety Council found work injuries cost businesses a total of $161.5 billion annually, equating to $1,100 per worker.
Improve employee training
New workers are three times more likely to sustain an injury in their first month than workers with a year's experience on the job. By improving employee training and tailoring programs to the demands of each individu ...
Solar power is now generating the cheapest electricity in history, a new report by the International Energy Agency reveals. Harnessing energy from the sun via solar panels is key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating a sustainable world. Heavy investment in solar infrastructure will also play a much-needed role in this transition. In turn, solar energy is creating a diverse range of careers for engineers, including industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and material science and chemistry.
Industrial Engineering
In recent years, solar panels have become increasingly efficient and affordable. As such, commercial install projects are becoming more and more in demand. Commercial solar panels can help busines ...
Hey pupils! Welcome to the next session on modern neural networks. We are studying the basic neural networks that are revolutionizing different domains of life. In the previous session, we read the Deep Q Networks (DQN) Reinforcement Learning (add link). There, the basic concepts and applications were discussed in detail. Today, we will move towards another neural network, which is an improvement in the deep Q network and is named the double deep Q network.
In this article, we will point towards the basic workings of DQN as well so I recommend you read the deep Q networks if you don’t have a grip on this topic. We will introduce the DDQN in detail and will know the basic needs for improvement in the deep Q network. After that, we’ll discuss the history of these networks and learn ab ...
Hi there! Happy to see you around. Thank you for clicking this read. In this post today, I’ll cover how cloud computing can benefit small businesses.
Cloud computing is the new normal. Many small and medium-sized businesses use cloud computing to handle and store a large amount of data. But what does cloud computing mean? Even if they are using it, some people don’t understand this term. Don’t worry. I’m here to make it clear for you.
Cloud computing is the availability of computing resources over the internet; these resources include databases, servers, storage, processing power, and more. In simple words, it’s the process of storing, hosting, managing, and processing data on third-party hardware over the internet. The common third-party service providers include AWS (Amazon Web Service) ...
