The MIPI Alliance Inc. industry consortium has just released the specification for the Improved Inter-Integrated Circuit – or I3C – a sensor interface specification. The I3C is supersets the I2C specification. I3C is aimed to streamline sensor integration in smartphones, wearables, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and automotive systems. I2C has been the most widely →

Finnish energy expert and inventor Janne Käpylehto wanted to show the world that on land of polar bears there can be fun (and not just extreme weather). So he made a Ice carousel and made a video that has got many video views around the world: Using only a chainsaw, an axe, a shovel and →

Some time ago I built Avalanche pulse generator circuit. In that project I used a slightly odd car to “mains” adaptor device as the DC/DC converter to generate the voltage (around 100V) needed to power the avalanche circuit. Here is view of that part of Avalanche pulse generator circuit: I had bought that device that →

It looks like a concept that needs to be priced right and supported by many manufacturers – or it is in danger of getting obsoleted soon. Let’s wait to see what is the situation when this becomes really available to buy. →
https://www.scmagazine.com/debugging-mechanism-in-intel-cpus-allows-seizing-control-via-usb-port/article/630480/ Some Intel CPUs have JTAG over USB 3 debugging built-in. This could be good for debugging but is really bad for computer security. “starting with the Skylake processor family in 2015, Intel introduced the Direct Connect Interface (DCI) which provides access to the JTAG debugging interface via common USB 3.0 ports.” Having the DCI →
