Question from the Customer:
I am starting to use Promira Serial Platform with the Promira Software API I2C/SPI Active. The spi_eeprom command does not specify what data should be written - I need to send 0x1000 to register 0x50. There is a queue variable in the code that I believe needs to be filled. How do I access the queue?
Also, I want to c...
When most people think about artificial intelligence, they think of the smart robotic assistants we see portrayed in science fiction films - the kind that can bring you a drink, carry a conversation, or remind you to leave the house with an umbrella.
In some ways, the media and film industry has warped our view of what artificial intelligence r...

The goal is to define and implement the communication protocol, and verify it with the Aardvark IC2/SPI Host Adapter. Here’s an ov...
Embedded systems engineers use a variety of skills and tools to build and program products that contain embedded computing systems. Along with coding software, software debugging programs, and simulators, most embedded systems engineers make use of a protocol analyzer, a specialized diagnostic tool that can be used to monitor bus traffic across...
We just spent a week in Detroit and as you'd expect, the trip had an automotive focus. I started this trip off by coming in a day early to spend a little time getting to know the area and learn a little more about the history of the industry. What better place to start than with the Ford Museum, located on Piquette Avenue at the site of the ...

For example, if I intend to send deadbeef55667788, the C...
Question from the Customer:
I recently purchased the Promira Serial Platform to replace the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter. I am trying to “hand over” the Aardvark Software API code to the Promira Software API I2C/SPI Active code.

At first, I tried using the Promira Aardvark Wrapper Software API to update the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host ...
Question from the Customer:
I understand the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter comes with the option of using either an external power supply or the Cheetah adapter (with power from the USB bus I assume) to drive the SPI output.
My question is about ground - if I am using an external power supply to drive the SPI device output, is the ground from the...
