This article discusses what to expect from next-level field programmable gate arrays. Architectures of different field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) differ from vendor to vendor. Some vendors are Silego, Lattice Semiconductor, Xilinx, Microsemi and Achronix. Silego uses mixed-signal components. Whereas, Lattice Semiconductor is known for small form factors and ultra-low …
Read More »Wireless Security System Using PIR Sensors
This project demonstrates a wireless security system in which four pyroelectric infrared (PIR) motion sensors are placed in four sides—front, back, left and right—of the area to be covered. It detects motion from any side and turns on the audio-visual alarm. It also displays the side where the motion (intruder) …
