DSP development is challenging. DSP systems are increasingly complicated, development cycles are shrinking, and many developers lack DSP programming experience. All of this of this creates a need for ...

The Arduino is an excellent first embedded development kit, provides a great introduction to electronics, and has the potential to get children into programming. [David] thinks throwing C at ...

The latest learn-to-code kit passing around a digital begging bowl to raise crowdfunds to make its concept fly is called FlowPaw. This education-focused electronics board takes inspiration from the ...

I looked at LabView more than a decade ago, and was very impressed, but I put it aside as test and measurement (T&M) was not at the top of my list of things to do. In the meantime, LabView has become ...

When you want to quickly pull together a combination of media and user interaction, looking to some building blocks for the heavy lifting can be a lifesaver. That’s the idea behind Max, a graphical ...

Programming can be more than just a chore. For one manufacturer of tobacco products, it was a weight—one that was helping to sink a complex automation project. The machine builder that the company had ...

National Instruments recently announced an embedded-development module for its popular LabView software that extends graphical programming to any 32-bit embedded processor (Picture). With the module, ...

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

Though PLC (programmable logic controller) programming languages may not receive the attention that general computing programming languages, such as JavaScript, C#, or Python do, they remain critical ...
