How to Choose the Right Microcontroller for Your IoT Project: ESP32 vs. Arduino vs. STM32

The Internet of Things (IoT) has disrupted the interaction between devices, the physical world, and the cloud. IoT applications can be found in smart homes and wearable devices, as well as industry automation and smart cities. The core of any IoT system is a microcontroller, which performs data processing, communication, interfaces with sensors, and manages power. A microcontroller is not a small thing to consider. It has a direct impact on the performance of your project, power efficiency, scalability, development time, and cost. Some of the successful alternative incorporators nowadays have included Arduino, ESP32, and STM32.

Automotive Grade Resistors: 2026 Price Surge & Stocking Strategy
Blog Jan 26, 2026
Silver prices have surged past $100 per ounce in January 2026, triggering a cascade of 15-20% price increases across the automotive resistor supply chain. For Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive electronics procurement managers, EMS factory supply chain leaders, and electronic design engineers, this "Silver Storm" represents the most significant cost pressure event since the 2017-2018 passive component shortage. The window to secure automotive grade resistors at current pricing is closing rapidly, with major manufacturers including Yageo and Walsin Technology implementing price hikes effective February 1, 2026. This comprehensive guide provides actionable intelligence on market dynamics, AEC-Q200 certified component sourcing, and strategic stocking recommendations to protect your production lines from supply disruptions.
FPGA Explained: From Basics to Advanced Applications
Blog Aug 13, 2025
Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are reconfigurable semiconductor devices that offer a unique balance between hardware performance and software flexibility. Unlike fixed-function chips, FPGAs can be reprogrammed after manufacturing using configurable logic blocks, look-up tables, and programmable interconnects. They excel in applications requiring parallel processing, low latency, and custom optimization, including telecommunications, AI acceleration, automotive systems, and data centers. While FPGAs present challenges such as steep learning curves and higher initial costs compared to CPUs, their ability to deliver specialized hardware solutions makes them essential for real-time, high-performance applications where both speed and adaptability are critical requirements.
What is an FPGA Board?
Blog Jul 15, 2025
This article provides a comprehensive introduction to FPGA development boards, covering their basic concepts, classifications, and applications. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are reprogrammable integrated circuits that offer parallel processing capabilities and hardware-level customization advantages. The article categorizes FPGA development boards into three tiers: entry-level (such as Basys 3), mid-range (such as Arty A7), and high-end (such as ZCU106), with prices ranging from tens of dollars to thousands of dollars. When selecting a development board, factors to consider include project goals, budget, logic resource requirements, interface types, and software compatibility. FPGAs are widely used in education and training, IoT, AI acceleration, digital signal processing, telecommunications, and aerospace applications. Future trends include better AI support, edge computing integration, popularization of high-level synthesis tools, and cloud-based FPGA services.
